RKM demonstrates no-internet online classes

SHILLONG: Making challenges shy away, the Sohra and Shillong centres of Ramakrishna Mission, on Monday, demonstrated the technological capability of conducting online classes in a no-internet zone.
The online academic classes of HIKAI (Hybrid Interactive Knowledge Assimilation Initiative), for classes 1-12, were inaugurated at Ramakrishna Mission Secondary School, Sohbar, by AS Mukhim, SDO of Sohra Civil Sub-Division in the presence of other dignitaries.
Moving away from the popular trend of sending notes and videos on social media platforms, the RKM has come up with quality contents and a hybrid platform of their own that enables students to access a two-way communication in real time and through an android app even without an active internet connection. The platform makes use of a Wi-Fi zone and local server. The HIKAI project is free for all the students of MBoSE. They can register at rkmhikai.online.
The project has the potential of helping lakhs of students across the state.
During the day, esteemed guests witnessed the demonstration of the software and participated in the teaching learning process being students themselves.
Android tabs were also distributed among the students.
The prerecorded sessions were well conceived, designed and presented through the blend of slides, audio-visuals and animations.
