Candela Learning wins Award

Barely four months after its launch in Sri Lanka, the innovative new interactive education tool 'Candela' was adjudged winner in the E-Learning and Education category at the e-Swabhimani National Best e-Content awards, confirming its unique value proposition to children, teachers and parents, and emphasizing the transformative role it can play in our society.

The e-Swabhimani is an initiative of the Information Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka aimed at recognizing excellence in digital content creation. It is available in a CD which can be simply loaded on to any computer to provide children with a learning experience, Candela learning tools are entirely based on the Education Ministry's officially published curriculum for science. They are designed to provide children with an engaging, rewarding and motivating learning experience.

Candela educates and motivates the child to learn by creating an environment that is inherently stimulating and fun. In their evaluation the E-Swabhimani jury pointed out that "almost all the content is highly interactive - drag and drop exercises and interactive science experiments, all of which can keep students engaged with the lesson until they have mastered it." Candela's audio, video and animations help describe scientific concepts in a manner that maximises student engagement and knowledge absorption.
