Digital Learning

E-पाठन by Varitra Foundation

Varitra Foundation launched its first digital learning platform called E-पाठन by Varitra with the goal to create a one-click repository of e-learning resources which are simple, contextual and free of cost. The idea behind E-पाठन emerged amidst the Covid-19 shutdown. According to UNSECO 2020, more than 90% school children stopped attending school across the world due to the shutdown. The case was no different in India. This inspired Varitra to design a space to amplify the access to e-learning amongst teachers and children who were especially exposed to e-learning for the first time.

ACCESS TO CONTENT

Our resources at E-पाठन are designed keeping in mind the context, language and efficacy to ensure that the children are to connect and learn better. The content we work on is complimentary to school curriculum which makes it easier for teachers to incorporate it in their teaching.

KNOWLEDGE SHARING

This initiative has helped teachers to engage with children, connect with fellow teachers and explore new practices. It has led to a momentum of knowledge-sharing and experimentation amongst teachers on the grassroots.

GRASSROOT DISSEMINATION

We are working with our partner villages to ensure effective dissemination of the content at E-पाठन to the very grassroots for maximum impact. We have identified and established communication channels in our partner villages who take these learning resources to schools and villages.

How does E-पाठन work?

V to WE - Collaborating for change

Since its inception, Varitra has believed in the power of collaboration and believes that we should make every effort to bring people together and create a learning ecosystem which is accessible, diverse and inclusive.

DIVERSE CONTENT POOL

We have collaborated with subject-specific resource persons, library & storytelling experts, language-building professionals and volunteers across the country who actively contribute to Varitra’s content pool and helps add diversity to our content and maximise our initiative’s impact.

SHARING GOOD PRACTICES

We have invited teachers especially our stakeholders from government schools who have been experimenting with new teaching-learning practices and learnings through various formats. This helps them to connect with each other, explore new practices and boost their motivation to experiment and engage children better.
