Milind Shahane, CEO
Unlike traditional education system that follows conventional form of teaching, today’s modern education imparted via technology is more rooted in personalization. But we need to identify technologies that strengthen teaching-learning experiences and reject those that divert students’ attention from real learning. Hence, technology solutions targeted at schools should be designed to improve teacher capability and not replace them. “At Tata ClassEdge, this has been our consistent focus. Our solution has been designed primarily to support teachers to teach better, drawing more interaction and participation from their students,” asserts Milind Shahane, CEO, Tata ClassEdge.
In fact, the firm first explores the technology that is functional & beneficial to teachers and students, and later improvises it based on an iterative process and constantly monitors its usage. Tata ClassEdge’s instructional framework Multiple Learning Experience (MLEx), blends hands-on activities, classroom discussions, projects and digital experiences to engage every learner in class. Further, its about-to-be-released after school solution (with partnership with Knewton) focuses on personalizing learning for students based on their current levels of
understanding, while its apps connect schools, parents and teachers creating a seamless ecosystem for all the key stakeholders.

Tata ClassEdge’s core product ‘ClassEdge Lx’ is based on its own, proprietary instructional framework ‘MLEx’, which recommends a variety of activities, both digital and offline, to improve understanding and creative & critical thinking, among students.

“We believe that the most critical success factor in our partnership with schools is the acceptance & usage of our products in the
classrooms,” speaks Milind. Hence as a collaborative partnership between Tata ClassEdge and City Montessori School, Lucknow (a first time in India), the company has introduced MATE, an end-to-end measurement driven model where it takes the complete responsibility for teacher training, acceptance, adoption and effective usage of technology by teachers in the classrooms.

Its roster of offerings further includes educational games (GameEdge), interactive maps, diagram makers, assessment creation tools, question banks mapped to difficulty levels, language lab to enrich spoken English, hands-on learning, and a series of textbooks focused on values, life skills and critical thinking.
A report by McKinsey & Co says that, nearly a quarter of a school’s impact on student's achievement is attributed to the principal. Tata ClassEdge has hence designed a one-day course called Conclave to give them personalized feedback on how they can enhance their leadership skills.
