LIBERATE LEARNING FROM THE CLASSROOM,
Learning can happen anywhere! The spirit of human curiosity makes it endemic for us to ask questions and seek answers anytime, anywhere and for no apparent reason leading up to it. Institutions today, have the opportunity to rethink the brick and mortar classroom based structure around formal education and truly liberate the spirit of learning.
Courseware
Faculty can upload presentations, notes and links to currently relevant articles and videos from around the internet.
Conversations
Students can ask questions and put their opinions forth, whenever and wherever curiosity strikes! Classroom time can then be used to put all these online discussions into perspective with clarity from the faculty.
GET MANY MORE THINGS DONE.
With so many more opportunities to capture, focus and communication become all the more important. Curiosity comes with an easy to use toolkit that will help students stay up-to-date about the happenings around the institution and the responsibilities they have. Need help getting something done? Reach out to others using the Classifieds.
Notices
Administrators, Faculty, Teaching Assistants and Student Group owners can post notices to the the various groups within the institution. Students get them on their Notices feed and can clarify using the ‘Talk’ feature.
Classifieds
Want to find a carpool? Need a room-mate for your apartment? Have a couple of old CDs and Books that you want to sell? Looking for freelance work on the side? Classifieds helps you reach out to the entire community for whatever you may want assistance with.
Scheduler
Scheduler aggregates time-bound ‘Important Stuff’ from across the groups you belong to, including your course groups. Along with a big picture view of your week, it tells you what needs to get done today and what the critical deadlines are.
WITH GOOD FAITH IN SERENDIPITY’S UNEXPECTED STORIES,
Ever thought about someone and a few seconds later received a phone call or a text message from them? Ever gone looking for something and found something completely different, but more suited to your needs? Serendipity is that force of the universe that charts very unexpected and life changing experiences. Curiosity loves Serendipity.
Skill Board
Connects those who want to learn/use a particular skill to those who have them. The aspiring guitarist to the lead guitarist. The team to the entrepreneur. The song writer to the voice.
Activities
Anybody in the institute can post an activity and find companions to experience it! The science fair, the art exhibition, an open air movie, a book reading, a visit to an amusement park, an extra lesson on algebra, a weekend game of scrabble, a dip in the ocean or a trek during the holidays!
Hall of Fame
An unleashed human spirit is inspiring and contagious - let the community know of the movers, shakers and achievers in the crowd. Let those who find inspiration in their work take up conversations with them using ‘Talk’, appreciate their success, ask them for guidance in their own pursuits or just plain meet up for coffee on a cold winter day!
Learn Something NEW!
Whenever a user signs in, a single article or video from a crowd sourced pool of “interesting stuff” is randomly presented to them. New learning can expand the reaches of one’s knowledge with one new answer spawning 10 more questions!
AND REALLY SIMPLE MANGEMENT.
Curiosity will be a very special web portal for your institution. Not only will it open a whole new paradigm of experiences for your students, its also a web portal that collects and stores student information, helps you reach out to specific group(s) with Curiosity’s features and start two way conversations with them.
Student Information Management
Collect and store information about the students, including bio data, contact information, preferences etc. You can configure the fields and types of information to be collected.
Groups
Divide the institute into Official Groups based on their Degree/Year/Grade/Course/Division/Electives chosen etc. And allow any student to start a Student Group of his or her own with an administrator’s approval. Study Groups, Sports Groups, Music Bands, Environmentalists, Student Council and more! Groups help channel the use of Curiosity’s features - for example, the owner of the Music Band ‘Alexa’ can post a notice about an upcoming practice meeting directly to the Group’s members.
Talk
Every post in Curiosity comes with a ‘Talk’ feature. Anybody who can view the post can post a message on it - to clarify, discuss, appreciate or critique!
