every few years, our designs should not be
strictly regimented @98
What are the key factors that contribute to the
creation and development of learning spaces?
‘There are various factors which influence the
development of learning spaces. The foremost one, 1
believe, is the incorporation of engagement spaces in
‘and around the building. Integrating the landscape with
the built environment by including outdoor activity
areas, amphitheatre and playgrounds help promote
interaction and create a growing environment for the
students. Our schoo! days are filled with memories of
enjoying with our friends in our favourite spots, We try
to create those comers to promote more engagement
among students. An important point to remember is
never to design the building and the campus separately.
Another critical factor in the design of learning
spaces isthe integration of natural light and ventilation,
as they have a direct link to the mental and physical
‘wellbeing ofthe students. Coming out of the pandemic,
‘we should be more carefil about the spaces we occupy
and the kind of impact they have on our health. Schools,
should also have the possiblity of growing more in
terms of infrastructure and functions. As the education
system keeps on changing every Few years, our designs
should not be strictly regimented. The classtooms
could be created in a way to combine or divide them
according to the need and make them flexible.
What are the possible changes we can
expect in the design of schools and colleges
post-COVID?
‘Asa parent with school-going children myself, and an
architect by profession, the apprehension of sending
children back to what was once a safe-haven is
undoubtedly a question in mind for many of us, Several
considerations must be taken into account to maintain
safe school operations, and if done correctly, it can
promote emotional and physical well-being. Integrating
natural light and air into the fabric ofthe building and
lessening the dependency on aificial methods of
heating and cooling would now be of utmost priority

circulation of fresh air indoors, and more classes can

standards we were looking at earlier will change, with
mote inclination towards classrooms with lesser density
Since technology now plays a more significant role in
learning, integrating it into the fabric ofthe building will
be a possible change in school and college design. We
should also be more careful about the materials we use for

three years, we were able to launch a beta version of
the portal Soon enough, we received alot of positive
validation, and the journey goes on
Tiwo critical gaps: fist, the lack of validated
content and guided coaching, and all of it at

the sccond, the lack of a communication portal
that could connect a learner with an educator
These critical and foundational level gaps in the
educational system fueled our ide of exeating ONE

providing communication channel between learners
and educators and second by providing premium

and stand above the competition,
What is the industry market size of the
segment that you operate in? Who are your
direct competitors?
E-learning is a thriving industry, and the Covid-19
pandemic forced people globally to stay home and
find altemate means of studying. It raised awareness in
academia worldwide, and the importance of e-learning was
realized more than ever.
Some of the key statistics that can give an idea of the
‘market siz of the e-leaming industry ae stated as below
1. Elleaming in India alone is growing fastest
compared to anywhere else globally, and its projected to
unwind following a CAGR of over 46%. Such a growth
rate is unprecedented, and no other industry reflects such
‘exponential growth
2. The prime reasons why India i slated to grow fastest
inthe elearning space are —
‘+The volume of users - India has 280 million
student's population (the largest in the world)
+ Internet Growth — the vehicle required for
e-learning India has witnessed the fastest
growing internet users, 100% growth in internet
users from 2015 to 2021, and is expected to hit
internet users crossing the 500 M mark.
+ And India offers the cheapest internet market
As big as the market we see inthe above projections,
‘many small and big players provide many educational
resources. ust in India alone, there are some good players
inthe ed-tech sector, such as Byju’s, Vedantu, Meritnation,
«tc. Even though they are providing good services, but stil
the services provided, are not complete enough to cater to
the entie market’s needs. We will impact the e-learning
‘market by offering a unique blend that is not yet available
nor is provided by the current players.
Kapdec operates in the K-12 seament, in the math
nd science supplemental market delivering all the course
offerings at very affordable prices and offering guided
‘coaching through a unique platform designed to provide
cease of use for educators and learners.
How are e-learning platforms preparing
‘Students for the Corporate World via a
technological approach?
In many ways, the use of technology helps learners be
prepared for the corporate world. If we look at the skills
required in any organization ~ whether a small or a big
her Education Digest
anvary 2021
‘organization, the employees must have two necessary
sills irespective oftheir functions: -
+ Ability t use a computer, use of various software
and have necessary primary computer skills
usage, AND
+ Ability to communicate with teams situated
lobally ot, if not globally, are sitting across
different locations in different cites
Early on in their learning joumey, students adopt
ceearning methods, It will foree and prepare them to use
‘computer and use of networking technology and tools and
lear al around computers and mobile devices
Clear evidence of the above statement can be given
that — children in the current generation learn the use of
technology much faster than people who are not exposed
to computers as much,
‘Another advantage students gain is the development
of communication skills. Students will have to quit fears
land speak up while learning remotely to present their
point of view, Critics may argue that communication skills
are best learned when we interact face to face. However,
‘on the flip side, when students cannot clearly show their
body language, they are forced to select the words,
sentences and speak effectively to communicate their point
effectively. Participants will have no choice but to learn
‘how to collaborate with teams remotely. This is a new
skill not yet described in the interview process but it wll
surely become a skill that employers will son start asking
So, using e-learning right from early on, will enhance
a student’s ability to communicate more effectively in
‘emote collaboration events in the corporate world inthe
future. Whether brainstorming with-in a team or whether
presenting an idea.
Indeed, e-learning always prepares students to gain
a hidden benefit of communicating effectively using
technology with people who are working remotely. And
‘hence be successful in their ongoing corporate journey.
What kind of experiential programs for students
will help them to grow better?
In simple words, Experiential learning is “learning, by
doing,” Experiential learning applies theory and academic
content to real-world experiences, either within the
classroom, within the community, or the workplace. The
learning programs which force students to practice what
they have learned will help students grow
‘Some examples —
1. We learm the use of fractions and simple and
compound interest carly on in elementary schools.
However, just watching videos and reading. text,About

e-learning industry to grow at least five times from

The real growth will be when students apply
those fundamentals in their daily Life, such as

Above simple applications in real life help
students grow.
