The Core Benefits Of BYJU’S Learning App

The BYJU’S Learning App which was launched in 2015 is a cross-functional online platform more than just an app with a syllabus loaded onto it. The learning prospects cater to two broad categories: exam preparations and grade school subjects for Math and Science related subjects.

In terms of the exam preparations, the students can use the platform to prepare for some of the country’s toughest and most competitive exams like CAT, NEET, IAS, ICSE, CBSE, Government exams and even the State Board exams.

When it comes to the grade school arena, the app covers subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology for classes 4 to 12 with the recent addition of Social Studies for classes 6 to 8.

Additionally, given the fact that many of these topics can be a little daunting to take on your own, the app acts as a platform that connects aspiring students with some of India’s best teachers including Byju Raveendran himself. The lessons and the syllabus are centred around a comprehensive delivery system that is carried out through an approach that combines engaging video lessons with personalised learning methodologies. Each and every student can adapt their learning process as per their preference and pace as the application also offers adaptive practice, revisions and intensive tests to make sure that students actually retain what they learn.

With that said, let us have a look at some of the features that this wonderful app has to offer:

Easy learning and engaging videos

As mentioned above, the diverse range of subjects and the complex concepts are made easy for students to understand by heavily incorporating visual aids in the form of videos. These video lessons can be customised as per the learner’s convenience and pace. This visual forward approach helps in both learning and retention thereby ensuring a higher level of success as opposed to the traditional verbal dissemination and monotonous classroom setting that students have become accustomed to. Apart from the videos, the app also provides learning and testing in the form of fun games and interactive quizzes that stimulate the mind, rather than numb it with lectures that go on for hours on end.

Revision

Repetitive adaptive testing is presented in a fun, gamified form to let students test and reassess their strong and weak points at any point in time. Users can also opt for a chapter-wise test which allows for a compartmentalised understanding of a subject as learners can stop and re-learn a particular chapter that they might find challenging. If they have not understood it, they always have the option to revisit chapters and gain a good understanding of that particular section.

Mapping the learning curve

The application offers a comprehensive analysis of the user’s progress through the learning of any particular subject. It highlights areas of strength and areas where there needs to be improvement through real-time reports. Additionally, the learning curve is mapped relative to the student’s grades and the syllabus in question, be it in the K-12 segment or competitive exams. To help in the mapping and growth curve tracking, each and every chapter is broken down into small and simplified concepts that as a whole make up a comprehensive knowledge pack.

Lesson prompts

As learners make their way through each lesson, there are bound to be mistakes as is commonplace with the process of learning anything. To address this, the BYJU’S Learning App provides lesson prompts that help learners identify and correct their mistakes through the countless practice sessions.

Graphs

With the exception of the earlier mentioned video learning approach, the app has also recently added visualised graphs known as ‘Knowledge Graphs’ which is also accessible through the BYJU’S web portal.

Looping in parents

BYJU’S recognises how invested parents are in their child’s education and they know the lengths parents are willing to go to see their child succeed. That is why BYJU’S introduced a relatively new feature called ‘Parent Connect’ on their learning app. This feature helps parents track and understand what their child is learning, the growth curve they have achieved and the areas that need improvements. All this monitoring and feedback happens in real-time.

Addressing gaps in information

Now the question remains, “What if there is a doubt that cannot be clarified through standardised videos or structured chapters on the platform?” Not to worry, BYJU’S has thought of that as well. Since the platform is already connected with such a vast network of highly-qualified teachers, it recently added a feature for one-on-one mentoring in which teachers can instantly clear any and all doubts that learners may have.

This also has the added benefit of learners getting personalised guidance on a subject from a dedicated mentor.

With all these features in-tow, the app stands as a strong and reliable platform on which students can gain a foothold for their future. Beyond all these digitally enhanced features the syllabus side of things stands just as strong. BYJU’S provides a wide range of free study materials, the latest in question papers and even aids in preparing students for school level exams and classroom projects (relative to the subject of course).

What Does Muzigal Offer Students?

The app offers students who are limited by the learning opportunities in their neighbourhoods. Whether they just want to learn how to play their favourite song or want to take up a full A-to-Z music theory course, they can do so through the app which connects them to industry professionals.

Muzigal was tailor-made for convenience and comfort of learning by offering not only the best teachers for music but levels of learning that are adapted to the student’s strengths and weaknesses depending on their level of expertise, be it practical or theory.

Currently, the application has 1174 students, 12,569 classes and 184 teachers currently active as per the numbers provided by their official website, which when considering they just started the company 11 months ago, it is quite the impressive community of young, aspiring artists they have garnered.

In addition to this, students get additional benefits from using the platform, which is getting matched with the right teacher to best cultivate their skills, watch lessons and sessions, get a pulse on the latest happenings in the music industry, have a platform to show off their skills and if all else fails, they get a free teacher replacement.

If none of this sounds convincing, then you can easily just opt for a ‘no-obligation’ free trial class to get to know your teacher and the kind of lessons you will be learning. For students who decide they want to go ahead with the program, they get anywhere from 5 to 20 per cent off if they book more than 8 classes.

Students who wish to undergo a more formal training also have options. If they want to use this platform as a jumping-off-point to earn their certification or degrees. Under ‘Find A Teacher’ option, using the filter ‘Learn Music Theory – Formal Curriculum’ students will be matched with teachers who are qualified to teach staff notation and help with Trinity, ABRSM or Rock School examinations or even Indian classical diplomas such as BA and MA qualifications.

Students have a choice between several different instruments, genres and teachers to learn under. Every form of instrument has a place on the app and more specialised instruments are catalogued under the broader areas such as string instruments like the Guitar, Violin or Sitar, Percussion instruments like Drums or Table, Wind instruments like the Flute or Saxophone, Key instruments like Keyboard and Piano and even different stylings of Vocals such as Western, Hindustani and Carnatic to name a few.

This broad menu of items aside, students can also opt for preference in different levels of advancement such as beginner, intermediate or advanced; different lesson plans such as to learn popular songs, simplified music theory or a formal course on the same; and different languages such as Hindi, English, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Urdu, Odia, Malayalam and Punjabi.
