Think about the time when your child wanted to purchase the latest PS4 game because everyone in class was talking about it.

You had said no because you found the game to be violent and unsuitable for your child.

Do you also remember the time when you purchased a workbook from the bookstore because you thought it would be beneficial for your child’s learning, but they barely flipped a page because they found it boring?

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?

What parents want versus what children need

When it comes to learning, both parent and child have different “criteria” that they would like to meet.

For parents, you’re assessing functionality and results.

You want a learning tool or platform that is educational and helps your child understand the lessons better. You’d also like to be able to monitor your child’s performance and help them improve along the way.

For your child, however, fun and engagement supersede functionality and results.

They’d be more drawn to colorful visuals and animations and interactive videos as though someone is talking to them instead of a black-and-white page staring back at them.

Can fun and learning really go hand-in-hand?

The team at EDUKATE believes that education can be fun and engaging, yet remain effective for learning.

Most importantly, the after-school online learning program was developed with both parent and child in mind.

EDUKATE understands a child’s preference and interest and offers a variety of interactive content, educational games, videos and e-books online.

These learning materials are easy to digest and friendly to navigate, which helps to stimulate a child’s interest and retain their attention span longer.

For parents, EDUKATE has developed an online report card, which helps to identify weaker areas for improvement and track the child’s overall progress.

This informs parents of two things: firstly, if the child is progressing in their overall learning and secondly, which topic the child requires more guidance with.

Real benefit experienced by real users

EDUKATE’s learning platform was well-received by both parents and children.

For parent Navamani, she found that the online assessment was beneficial for her son, Pugallenti.

“He has scored all A’s and I think this exam has helped me to understand his (learning) level. Analytics wise, I find it to be a very good assessment tool,” she said.

A parent’s endorsement alone may not be enough to convince you to give EDUKATE a try, but perhaps the children’s feedback will.

Recently, EDUKATE has sponsored 11 learning accounts for Persatuan Rumah K.I.D.S., a home for abused, orphaned and abandoned children located in both Subang and Klang.

These children have left positive reviews for the platform.

Deborah, 10, found that she can understand the lessons easily with the help of the multimedia lessons.

This same sentiment is shared by Harini, 12, who said, “I’m enjoying the teaching very much. I can learn more about the lessons and I can understand the topics easily.”

Yasmeen and Miriam, both 12, liked the available quizzes, with Miriam saying, “Now my studying is more fun with EDUKATE. I like to do the quizzes and they will give me a second chance if I answered the quiz wrongly.”

Ever since EDUKATE was made available at the shelter, the children have been spending many hours on the online learning platform after school.

According to the Chairman of Persatuan Rumah K.I.D.S., Mr. Panir, “Our children really love EDUKATE. They love the animation part of it and the games element of learning.

“EDUKATE has done a really great job in making learning fun. We’re excited to see how our children have improved in English, Maths and Science.”
