COVER STORY

Combining the e-learning expertise of Houghton Mifflin with the educational and local market knowledge of S. Chand publishers, Houghton Mifflin S. Chand Learning Pvt Ltd (HMSC) is poised to offer the best Maths, English, and Science e-learning solutions to Indian schools.
The secret of HMSC’s success will be a “blended” educational approach. In this approach, the award-winning educational software will be used alongside interactive tools to supplement and enhance traditional textbook teaching. The software consists of highly engaging, graphic-rich, audio-driven courseware that has shown measurable results in improving students’ performance. This courseware is delivered through a management system that allows teachers to organize and manage their classes; create, share, and assign activities and tests; generate reports that show each student’s progress; and create and share lesson plans and professional development tools.
As a first step in implementing the blended learning approach, HMSC is conducting a pilot with the prestigious Welham Boys School, Dehradun.
