Apps enable them to solve math equations, understand science in an interesting way, learn and retain historical facts with ease and take quizzes that serve to enrich knowledge.

They have, thus, become ubiquitous in classrooms, thereby improving learning, test scores as well as attendances. Aakash iTutor, the self learning module by Aakash, also offers app based learning and has found tremendous traction among students by providing study material in a clear, concise and easy to understand format. It offers a number of high quality video lessons that can be paused and repeated as desired. Students can take lectures anywhere and anytime and also retake the module if required.

Educational apps are simple to manage over a fleet of mobile devices, thereby giving more control to teachers. They can now deliver engaging lessons, monitor the progress of students, get immediate feedback and stay organised on the mobile phone.
