HCL Learning, bagged the Public Choice Award for the ‘Best Tablet Providers in Education’ for My EduTab at the World Education Awards 2012, held recently as part of the World Education Summit in New Delhi. HCL’s My EduTab received the maximum votes from the people and emerged as the winner amongst competition by a huge margin of public votes. HCL Learning continued its winning spree by bagging its fifth award since December 2011.
The HCL My EduTab comes in two versions: K12 and HE (Higher Education). My EduTab– K12 version enables students, teachers & parents to connect, collaborate and share information as well as content over the Cloud. The tablet comes along with high quality engaging content and packaged with K12 curriculum mapped digital content, educational applications & games, videos and ebooks which make revision fun & home learning- a self paced and enjoyable experience.
My EduTab – Higher Education (HE) Version is an edutainment platform which brings together world class rich multimedia content on technical and professional skills, assessments and Apps. This enables networking and collaboration and leads to an all round development and employability enhancement for students.
Earlier in December 2011, HCL Learning bagged the prestigious Jury Award for the Best Open and Distance Learning Practices in Higher education for their Xcelerate program, at the 7th eINDIA awards held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. HCL Learning also won awards in the “Best ICT Enabled Content for K12 Education” & “Best Technology Based Solutions for Higher Education Institutes” categories for their Digischool & Digicampus programs respectively at the Star News National Education Awards function held in Mumbai. Another award bagged by HCL Learning in 2012 was for its Institute Management System (IMS) program which won the award for “Best Cloud Based Education Institute Management System” at the Bloomberg UTV B-School Excellence Awards.
Unfortunately, our HRD Minister cannot see the potential of this large and established company to supply tablets to Indian students for its ambitious project to provide tablets to school students. Instead of awarding contract to an untested foreign company for Aakash tablet, we fail to understand why honourable minister does not entrust this project to HCL, which will make things happen unlike Datawind, which keeps on postponing the delivery on one pretext or other.
And I Always Thought HCL tab is Not Worth it.
