Sukesh Jain, Vice President, Enterprise Business, Samsung India said “We are pleased to offer Samsung Galaxy 3V Tab to ConveGenius to host its eLearning solution. Galaxy 3V tablet is designed for ultra-portability. Slimmer at only 9.7mm, its concise form factor is sure to please. A beautiful compact tablet with long-lasting power, we are confident that children will enjoy the most comfortable hand grip, complemented by its extreme light weight.”
The CG Slate Plus features an edutainment (Education and Entertainment) solution, that teaches educational concepts to children with the help of interactive videos, books, quizzes and other worksheets, where they are rewarded based on how they perform.
Basically, the child gets access to three different zones – Learn Zone, Play Zone and Shop Zone. In the Learn Zone, the child gets to learn various subjects mapped to the NCERT syllabus where they can earn points or coins based on their performance. These points can then be used to gain playtime in the Play Zone. And the coins can be redeemed in the Shop Zone for different cashback offers on their favourite toys which the parents can buy for them later. This reward-based learning system which ConveGenius calls ‘Learn-Play-Shop’ is reportedly aimed to excite young ones to practise self-learning and motivates them to try harder.
Titu, the intelligent companion is here again and ever ready to adaptively recommend educational content to the child based on his/her learning requirement.
“It gives me immense pleasure to say that Titu, our intelligent mascot featured in CG Slate, has been accepted as the best mentor kids can ever have. While keeping regular school curriculum in perspective, CG Slate has greatly amplified the learning curve of children. To offer a more evolved and enhanced version of the device, we are going to roll out the new and improved CG Slate on Samsung Tablets. The technological features of our offering combined with reliability of Samsung hardware will ensure a high-value product for our customers.” said Mr Jairaj Bhattacharya, MD, ConveGenius Group at the announcement.
The new ConveGenius CG Slate Plus tablet is exclusively available on Flipkart for 15,999 INR and provides an ideal learning experience for children.
