Ko-Su Pilots Mobile Learning Platform at CFGS Tower Hamlets Girls' Secondary
LONDON, December 31, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- In December 2010 the newly developed Ko-Su mobile learning platform began
its in-class pilot on iPod Touches at the CFGS Tower Hamlet Girls' Secondary
School, in a move to revolutionise how conventional classes are taught.
The Ko-Su solution was first envisaged in January 2010. The concept was
to provide an innovative and intuitive solution to deliver education via
mobile platforms. It is the first offering on the iMoFi portal. The pilot
scheme started with the CHGS Science Department in December and will run
until February 2011
CFGS is a voluntary, aided comprehensive school for inner-city girls aged
11-18 in Bow,London. Some 75 per cent of the students are bilingual; thus, a
trial of Ko-Su's new approach to classroom teaching has been eagerly adopted.
Mobile learning can play an important role in education across all
levels. The opportunity exists for teachers to create tailored lessons that
take advantage of the flexibility and individualisation that mobile devices
allow. The science teachers at Tower Hamlets are now enjoying the benefits of
being able to tailor lessons for students' individual needs and capabilities.
The other key innovation of Ko-Su is that it allows teacher-pupil interaction
to happen anywhere; as such, teachers can mark homework and give feedback
whilst away from the classroom.
The trial will be monitored carefully in the view of rolling out the
product in other London schools. If this contemporary strategy proves to
boost results in under-performing schools, educational experts are suggesting
that this approach could be worth the initial investment and have dramatic
results and implications on how a curriculum is presented to students.
About Ko-Su
Ko-Su has been designed to incorporate:
- Intuitive-content management tools that can allow for any subject area
to be tailored and optimized for the mobile devices and their
capabilities;
- Offline support for learning to be taken outside of the traditional
classrooms;
- Intuitive class creation;
- Reporting tools that allow for student-by-student customization and
feedback.
Its implications for any kind of teacher are revolutionary: it allows
the teacher to run their class and send learning material from anywhere
in the world and to react instantly to answers and students' individual
needs, and give individualised feedback. Ko-Su's targeted educational sectors
include mainstream education, music education, horticulture, medicine, career
advice and flexible working practices.
