Outreach Programs for Teachers with Cognizant
One study amongst the teaching fraternity found that 74 percent of teachers found that classroom technology helped them to motivate their students to learn and reinforce the learning materials. About 73 percent also said that it helped them better engage students with different learning styles. Ravilla, being the pioneers in Kovilpatti to introduce technology in education, joined hands with the Cognizant Outreach program to harness the innovative technology in planning and executing learning materials to the students. Teachers were trained by the experts from Cognizant to create posters, videos, and websites to plan lessons, create presentations and store learning materials.
