Digital – Literacy Program
EArtH’s Digital Literacy Program bridges the education gap by bringing adaptive, personalized learning to underprivileged children through digital classrooms. Empowering students from KG–10, it ensures continued learning, even during school closures.
What is EArtH Digital Literacy Program?
EArtH Foundation’s Digital Literacy Program is designed to transform learning for underprivileged children by combining innovation with inclusivity. Using adaptive assessments, personalized learning paths, and contextual digital content, the program ensures that every child—from kindergarten to 10th grade—can learn at their own pace and according to their unique needs. Implemented through mobile tablets with the ‘Home Learning App,’ the initiative empowers students in core subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science, while enabling teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses and provide targeted support. Partnering with ConveGenius, EArtH leverages data-driven technology to bridge the rural education gap, complement classroom teaching, and reduce teacher workload.The program became especially vital during COVID-19, when school closures left children in villages without access to formal education. By sponsoring devices, creating digital classrooms, and supporting government school students who cannot afford private online education, EArtH Foundation is not just addressing a short-term crisis but building a sustainable model of enriched learning for the future.
This is achieved through three levels of adaptivity:
Adaptive Assessments: Adapting the test to student’s needs.
Adaptive Sequencing: Adapting the learning path for a student.
Adaptive Content: Recommending alternate content to the student based on the performance.
EArtH foundation has partnered with CoveGenius to implement this program. ConveGenius is a teacher-facilitated personalized and adaptive learning platform focused on closing the gap in educational achievement for children and youth in India.
Which students are benefited?
All EArtH students from Grades KG-10 where this program is implemented can benefit from this program. The content complements what teachers are teaching at the moment in schools. Currently covered languages are English, Mathematics & Science.
How does it work?
Digital literacy programs are run using mobile tablets. There is an app called “Home Learning App” that has a lot of curriculum mapped content. EArtH foundation sponsors the necessary tablets. Students will have their own personal profile. The app also captures the strengths and weaknesses of individual students and the class as a whole. This enables the teacher to personalize instruction in a virtual/real classroom.
Why did EArtH Foundation choose digital literacy?
COVID has hit education in villages severely since the government schools are still closed and kids are not going to school. Underprivileged families can’t afford online education in villages given their economic background.
EArtH is starting DIGITAL LEARNING in its adopted/partnered schools, which will let the government school kids continue their education.
This model doesn’t replace in-class teaching but complements it. With this model, the teacher’s classroom load is reduced significantly, and they get more time to focus on maintaining a healthy environment for learning. The model is also ideal in the Covid situation where students are not going to schools. And the same model will be later used as enriched learning once the schools are opened.
When is the program starting?
Digital Literacy Program was started in January 2021. Most of 2020, Government school education have been one of the worst affected sections of societies in India due to Covid-19 – All EArtH adopted primary schools are still closed and there is no virtual teaching concept from the Government, and poor families can’t afford private online education. This program, though inline with our long term goals, is more timely in the current situation. Honorable minister of urban development Sri K. T. Rama Rao garu has inaugurated the event.
