ATTAIN EDUCATION VSAT CLASSES An Overview Team ATTAIN About ATTAIN MEDICA • An initiative by Attain Education to offer coaching and preparatory education via advanced tele-education network. •ATTAIN offers LIVE coaching via Satellite to students sitting at centers across India Team ATTAIN What are Satellite Classes •In ATTAIN, Satellite lectures are delivered from Central Studio to classrooms via VSAT mode. These lectures are attended LIVE by the students in the classroom. •The Faculty appears on a big screen in each of these classrooms equipped with HD clarity picture & stereo clarity sound system Team ATTAIN ARE SATELLITE CLASSES LIKE INTERNET CLASSES? Internet Video Classes use the public internet which is not consistent because of variable internet speed and thus results in streaming and buffering causing loss of sync between voice and picture; Whereas ATTAIN satellite classes use a private internet where transmission is at a consistent high bandwidth rate, thus leading to superior quality video & audio Satellite classes are more reliable than internet videoconferencing as it uses lesser terrestrial infrastructure Team ATTAIN Is Interaction possible in this medium? Team ATTAIN CAN FACULTY SEE & HEAR ME? The faculty can see the classrooms in front of him. The faculty can zoom into any classroom to see & hear the students clearly The Central Control Room is constantly viewing, monitoring & recording class movements Team ATTAIN How would be the classroom setup? Classrooms are air-conditioned, and have: • Large projection screen • High-quality IP Camera • Comfortable seating • Ambient Lighting • Stereo Quality sound system & • Advance quality MIC. All classrooms are manned by a Centre Coordinator for student handholding Team ATTAIN Will I be able to interact with the faculty? How? There are 3 different ways of interacting:1. MIC Query: one of the common ways to interact is talking over mic with the faculty. He can hear you and answer you through his mic. This interaction could be heard in all centres. 2. CHAT: Text Message through our Real Time Collaboration system (RTC) which reaches the faculty instantly 3. Other Systems will also be introduced in due course. Team ATTAIN Will my queries be resolved during the class? Yes the queries asked through the mic would be resolved via conversation. The queries asked via CHAT would be addressed immediately, or at the right moment by the faculty Team ATTAIN Will the component of Eye Contact during lectures be missing in this medium. No, there would be the component of EYE CONTACT, interaction with faculty could be done looking in his eyes directly. Absence of physical touch can be overcome by experienced faculties by adding component of human emotions like patting and clapping. Team ATTAIN How will I clear my doubts after the class Normally the class would have a doubt clearing section, this could be in the middle or at the end of class. You would also be provided with the unique mail ID for each subject where you can put the queries. Normally queries would be resolved within 2 working days. Team ATTAIN Why should I join ATTAIN • Regularity of Class: In other coaching centres the Faculty travels-in from outstation locations. Since travel in India is unpredictable and fraught with fatigue, classes are delayed, sometimes cancelled, and in quite a few instances the announced/expected faculty is replaced by a more junior and inexperienced member. But in ATTAIN the same faculty would be taking classes in all the centres, no discrimination would be done on centre basis. • Cost Factor: Students usually relocate to Metros/Bigger cities to get coaching from Good Quality Faculties. At ATTAIN coaching is available at hometown from the same experienced faculty, students can attend lectures at a centre near to their colleges Team ATTAIN Where are our ATTAIN centers located AGRA AMRAVATI BIKANER CHANDIGARH KANPUR LUCKNOW NAGPUR PATNA Rohtak Indore Team ATTAIN VSAT MODE vs. FACE-2-FACE A Comparison Team ATTAIN 1 Top Faculty for All Subjects at All Centers • Availability of Good Quality Faculty for all centers for all subjects is not possible in classroom learning. •ATTAIN VSAT provides “Best Faculty for All Subjects” as same faculty can teach at multiple locations simultaneously, hence, it is possible to organize “Best Faculties” thereby ensuring that students at all locations enjoy the advantages of superior quality teachers Team ATTAIN 2 HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION HIGH COST Best Quality always incur cost and thus retaining Good Faculty for a single classroom is expensive. ATTAIN VSAT mode makes possible to distribute high cost over large number of students in distributed classrooms across India and thus having “Quality Education at affordable costs” Team ATTAIN 3 BETTER DOUBT RSOLUTION! In F-2-F doubts remain unresolved as students feel shy in raising queries on the fear of being judged as silly by co-students In ATTAIN Satellite mode, it is observed that students raise queries more easily through RTCT (Real Time Collaboration Technique) Team ATTAIN 4 SUPPORT FOR MISSED CLASSES! A class missed in F-2-F learning leads to missing of a whole subject or a major topic which causes conceptual gap In ATTAIN VSAT mode, Video Archived Classes can help student to review the missed class, later on, in the center at his convenience. Team ATTAIN 5 LARGE COMPETITION BASE! In a F-2-F class, student competes with limited numbers belonging to same city In ATTAIN VSAT mode, teaching and competition is among large, diversified group thus resulting in better learning.
