How Game-Based Learning is Empowering Remote Students | Case Study
Client: Bengaluru-based NGO
Industry: Education
Focus: Universal elementary education and empowering students in remote areas of India
Challenge: Delivering Math Education in Remote Areas
In India, many children, especially those in remote rural areas, have limited access to quality educational resources. This challenge is even more pronounced in mathematics, where traditional teaching methods often fail to engage younger students, especially in areas with limited infrastructure.
- Deliver interactive math education to children in rural India.
- Overcome challenges such as limited internet access, lack of infrastructure, and language barriers.
- Ensure that the learning materials were engaging enough to capture and retain students' attention.
Our client, a Bengaluru-based NGO, was committed to universalizing elementary education. They wanted to reach 6th-8th grade students in remote areas of India and impart math education in a fun, engaging, and accessible way.
The problem they faced was how to:
For an organization in the highly-regulated clinical research industry, these challenges meant there was a constant need to track employee training progress and ensure compliance at all stages of the clinical trial process.
Solution: Game-Based Learning for Elementary Students
We believe that technology has the power to bridge the gap between remote education and quality learning. To address the client's needs, we developed 250 math games using Phaser, a JavaScript-based game development platform.
- Focused on core math concepts for 6th-8th grade students.
- Were designed to be interactive and engaging, ensuring students could play while learning.
- Ensure that training records are audit-ready, compliant with industry regulations, and easy to access.
- Were integrated into a mobile app that supported 7 Indian languages, ensuring accessibility for diverse learners across the country.
- Were made available on both Google Play Store and the DIKSHA platform, centralizing access for students and teachers alike.
The math games:
Key Features:
- 250 math games covering various math topics, from basic arithmetic to geometry and algebra.
- Multi-language support: The app was available in 7 languages, including Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Marathi, ensuring access for students in different states.
- Offline availability: Since internet access in rural areas can be inconsistent, the games were designed to be accessible even without an internet connection, allowing for uninterrupted learning.
- Centralized distribution via Google Play Store and DIKSHA platform, ensuring that all students and educators could access the games easily.
- Tracking and reporting features to measure the effectiveness of the program and gather insights on student progress.
Results: Impactful Learning in Remote Areas
The game-based learning platform created significant improvements in both student engagement and performance:
1. Engaged Students with Interactive Learning
