HOW CCSCAT DIGITAL SCHOOL SYSTEM WORKS
The system is switched on, and runs continuously once learning activities resume for the day. The teacher enters the class, he/she selects the subject, selects the week and clicks on the topic for the week. The topic for the day comes up on the screen and the teacher starts teaching. He/She clicks on:
a) Introduction => to introduce the lesson for the day
b) Previous Knowledge => checks to see the foundation to build on
c) Learning Objectives => already stipulated in the scheme
d) Detailed Lessons (with videos for multimedia learning)
e) Learning Activities => at the end of the lesson
f) Evaluation => both in-class assessments and assignments.
We have modelled all the teacher does physically into the software. Once the teacher is through with his/her lesson, the next teacher comes in and the cycle is repeated.
FEATURES OF CCSCAT
1) Offline System: The system is predominantly designed to work offline. With CCSCAT, you do not need the internet. Hence, no Data Cost is incurred in the course of using it. The content, which is in line with the National Curriculum, for all the classes (JSS 1 -3 and SSS 1 – 3) is already pre-loaded.
2) Loaded with Audio‐Visual Teaching Aids: The system is based on the theory of Multimedia Learning. Each lesson is accompanied by appropriate videos for detailed explanation.
3) Curriculum Compliance: CCSCAT has used the national curriculum to build its contents. If there are topics that are peculiar to your state, they can be easily added.
4) User Friendly: Even a computer novice can use CCSCAT. Once you can click with the mouse, you can use CCSCAT. Hence, the slogan of CCSCAT system: “Click to teach”.
5) Very Flexible: The system is such that teachers can prepare their own contents (lessons, tests, exam questions, etc.) and load them into the software. All File types (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, pdf, videos, etc.) recognized by the operating system may be loaded into CCSCAT software.
BENEFITS OF CCSCAT TO YOUR SCHOOL
1) SCHOOL GROWTH
This technology would definitely grow your school. There is no child that can prefer traditional chalk & whiteboard system to this multimedia-driven pedagogical approach to learning. We are not using Projectors - students would feel freer to learn as it comes from the television they would normally get glued to for 24 hours.
2) IMPROVEMENT IN THE STANDARD OF LEARNING IN YOUR SCHOOL
The training that goes with CCSCAT is that which makes the teacher digitally compliant, giving them the ability to cater for the learning needs of today’s digital natives. At the end of the training, your teachers would be able to manipulate the pc for pedagogical activities and this would greatly improve the standard
BENEFITS OF CCSCAT TO TEACHERS
1. No More Copying of Notes from Class to Class: One of the major problems faced by teachers is the act of copying notes from one class to the other. In some cases, they copy such notes on a portable whiteboard and carry it from class to class. With CCSCAT, all the teacher needs, is to scroll the notes for the students to copy. The energy conserved from the note copying exercise may be channeled and used to interact, assess and correct the learners.
2. Reduction of Stress on the Teachers: While teaching the students, in most cases, teachers teach in abstract, trying to explain concepts and procedures to the students without teaching aids. With CCSCAT, each topic has a video because the system is built on the theory of Multimedia Learning, according to Dr. Richard Mayer, which says “People learn more with a combination of texts and images than with texts or images alone”.
BENEFITS OF CCSCAT TO STUDENTS
1) Improvement in Students’ Performance: The adoption of a multimedia learning system would enhance comprehension on the part of the students, thereby making them more eager to learn and reducing the learning curve. Multimedia learning also eliminates boredom – students now see different faces and live videos, instead of the same set of teachers interacting with them throughout the term and throughout the academic session.
COST IMPLICATION OF CCSCAT
CCSCAT is made up of Software and Hardware Components. We would like to sell the Software Component which is CCSCAT Software for a one-time cost to the state government. There are two modules of CCSCAT Software: CCSCAT-JSS and CCSCAT-SSS. There is need to create a department for the project in the Ministry of Education. This Department would be responsible for the installation, training and maintenance of this technology.
CCSCAT HARDWARE
The state government would provide the hardware needed to deploy CCSCAT in each classroom. The hardware needed for each classroom are a wide screen Television, a Thin Client, Keyboard, Mouse, and a Standing Table.
