Digischool is HCL’s premier multimedia-based educational offering that embodies the proverbial “Learning by Doing” approach. Digischool is a
technology-oriented initiative that uses the power of multimedia to make learning an enjoyable and meaningful experience. Designed specifically
for Indian classrooms, it provides rich content as well as the systems to enable a participative instructor-led learning experience supported by
strong media.
With Digischool, pictures and animations bring to life scientific principles while interactive multimedia allows students to play an active role in
learning. Students can watch experiments in action, see micro-organisms up close, know how food is digested and use an interactive white board
to work with images, simulations and other interactive material. It is no wonder then that the Digischool program keeps students thoroughly
engaged in the learning process.
As part of this program, each school is provided with a centrally located server that is loaded with multimedia content, relevant software, and an
Operating System. This server is connected to a Desktop computer, which can be accessed by the teacher. The teacher can project material from the
Desktop computer to an LCD display for viewing in the classroom. Teachers can also prepare their lesson plans using the software, and access
relevant content according to their plans. The use of multimedia speakers ensures that the lecture is clearly audible to all the students in the class.
“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.”
Did you know that children recall 20% of what they see, 40% of what they see and hear, and 70% of what they see, hear, and do?

Instructional Design Methodology Digischool courses complement the existing CBSE/State Board curriculum’s instructional model. The focus here is on a “hands-on” approach that not
only teaches the concepts but also shows students how to apply the concepts through interactive exercises, practice simulations, and class projects.
The instructional model applied in the design of these nuggets is derived from the 5 E’s of learning. This model borrows from the works of Gagne and
the Constructivists.
It was originally designed by the Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS), and was later adopted by many American schools and content
development institutions. As per this approach, a good piece (or set) of instructional content is expected to incorporate the 5 Es.
The Digischool program is headed by an advisory board of distinguished members who have made phenomenal contributions to the field of
education, in India and abroad.
