as for the ailing j & n , only one of the units of india’s second oldest paint company is now operational . this unit , located in sikandarabad , will also house the new joint entity . while j & n makes decorative and industrial paints , sheenlac makes decorative paints and wood finishes . the company said that it was the first to introduce thinners in pet bottles .

we have held discussions during the last five years and arrived at a structured deal now . the investments in the jv will be rs 50 crore over a five - year period . the target revenue from the new entity will be rs 100 crore ,
he said . jenson and nicholson india ltd president , anant sinha said ,
we are excited with the joint venture . through it , both the companies will sell decorative paints in the domestic market .
noting that the decorative paint industry accounts for about rs 30 , 000 crore business in the country , krishnamoorthy said ,
as a group , sheenlac paints and jenson and nicholson pvt ltd , we are looking at target revenues of rs 750 crore .
in this joint venture , jenson and nicholson are bringing their brand , while sheenlac paints is bringing its distribution network
, he added . sheenlac paints has about 15 , 000 sales touchpoints across india . the company has three manufacturing facilities in tamil nadu with a total capacity of 1 lakh kilo litres per year . krishnamoorthy said the jv company would serve only the domestic market .
over the next couple of years , chennai - based sheenlac will invest rs50 crore into the operations of jenson and nicholson paints pvt . ltd , while jenson and nicholson will provide intellectual capital , including its brands such as robbialac , decor , rainbow , safeguard and special effects .
kolkata : sheenlac paints ltd , which entered into a 49 : 51 joint venture ( jv ) with jenson and nicholson india ltd last year , may seek to buy out its partner once the jv company scales up its revenue to rs350 crore in five years , chief executive officer sridhar krishnamoorthy said on wednesday .
sheenlac initially wanted an equal stake in the jv , but that did not work out . however , the jv agreement has a provision allowing sheenlac to raise its stake or bring in a strategic partner in five years , krishnamoorthy said .
although a minority partner , sheenlac has management control of the jv . both partners have equal representation on its board .
manoj sood , national head of sales , j & n india , said that brand power of jnil combined with the reach of sheenlac is expected to result in greater momentum for both the companies .
while holding about 35 % of the ₹8 , 000 - crore paint market in the south , sheenlac is hoping to move three notches up from its present no . 6 position within the next five years . it has four units in the south with a combined capacity of 1 lakh kilo litres annually .
“throughout its five decades of existence , sheenlac has expanded mainly through organic growth . . now it sees alliances as the way forward… . this ( the jv ) was a strategic move to gain traction in markets which are highly competitive like the north east , ” mr . sridhar said earlier at a press conference .

mr . sridhar said that the ₹35 , 000 - crore indian paint industry is growing between 12 % and 13 % annually and the low per capita paint consumption at a little over 4 kg had good growth potential .

cleese continued to feature in video arts ' training videos .

video arts

welcome to the home of video learning . video arts is famous for delivering soft - skills training in an entertaining and memorable way via video based e - learning . show less
the inside scoop on communications film legend video arts , founded by anthony jay and john cleese 40 years ago .
independent production company tinopolis has bought video arts group , the training video and dvd company co - founded by comedian john cleese , in a £2 . 4m deal .
video arts was established in 1972 by a small group of television professionals , including cleese , to introduce humour in training .
the video arts programmes provide award - winning content that not only crystallises the important learning points but is also engaging and memorable .
video arts courses are easy and convenient to use , extremely well produced and their humour makes the learning engaging , memorable and fun .
who’s using video for learning ? why , and how ? the video arts learning index , based on our annual survey of l & d professionals , tells the stories from the world of l & d in 2018 .
we checked with multiple vendors to see which one could provide us with the best video solution for our project and video arts was , hands down , the best fit for our team . from planning the videos , working with the scripts , production , and post production they provided us with incredible service and insight while ensuring we always stayed within budget . our time & resources were well spent with video arts as we walked away with beautiful videos . we highly recommend video arts ! –abbey cooper , partner relations manager , eone integrated business solutions
learning used to be seen as a chore but now people really enjoy it . video arts provides tried and tested courses with great humour and strong learning messages .
it is the second time video arts has been sold since mr cleese founded the company in 1972 with sir anthony jay , the author of the yes , minister series .
he said that the deals would enable mediakey to enhance the back catalogues of both video arts and marshall and begin to produce the library of titles on cd - rom .
at video arts we believe that learning should be fun , easy and accessible . we think that you can change the way people behave at work if you engage them emotionally with entertaining content .
video arts , the management training company founded by the comic actor john cleese , has been sold for around pounds 25m to mediakey , a media group that has announced plans for a stock market listing .
ron jones , the tinopolis executive chairman , said :
buying video arts is in line with our stated acquisition strategy of looking for companies that provide value for our shareholders and extend our presence in our major markets .
hence , in october 2013 , video arts launched its on - demand platform . sort of an iplayer for training professionals , it’s a password - protected site giving access to video arts titles , old and new , together with some films distributed on behalf of other producers . subscribers can deliver them to staff via multiple devices , as well as in the old - fashioned way . the site also enables analytics on how they’re being consumed , and the capacity for uploading users’ own video content ( something that certainly couldn’t happen in the 70s ) .
video arts ' current clients include the ministry of defence , the university for industry , the welsh development agency , scottish enterprise and the bbc , in addition to other government and public authorities in the uk and organisations worldwide .
video arts has the biggest choice of e - learning , m - learning and video content for training in the world . make your learning more memorable with our video training solutions . watch the following demos on each solution video arts provides : m - learning : the programmes come with a package of memorable bite - sized video clips and handy tips . perfect for your learners to dip in and out of anywhere , anytime . . . and just - in - time . digital library : comes with a straightforward administrator ' s interface that lets you design playlists , edit course materials , download video clips and manage your learner area . ilearn : straight - forward learning management system ( lms ) , lets you deliver cost - effective out - of - the - box e - learning courses in a stable , friendly learner environment . launch courseware , register and enrol students on courses , track learner progress and report on organisation - wide training progress . e - learning courses : you can quickly and easily implement , communicate and track hundreds of e - learning courses from video arts and other leading e - learning producers .

john cleese co - founded video arts with sir antony jay back in 1972 . they saw the need for a learning recipe that would shake up the formal classroom experience and use entertainment to capture the imagination of participants . and so the humorous training film was invented .
learning is often designed to fill learners with facts and information . this is great if you want to increase their understanding of a subject , but what if you actually need to change their behaviour ? simply put , video allows complex ideas about human behaviour to be put across in a short space of time . and video arts gets the message across in a way that your learners won’t forget .
mr cleese no longer owns a stake in the company but has a two - year contract to produce training videos . commenting on the sale , video arts managing director john christmas said :
we think it is a marvellous opportunity to raise funds to invest in new formats and cd - rom in particular .
the people at video arts studios are
pro ' s pros
who produce high quality work for us . the talent is excellent and the account people are attentive , prompt , and a pleasure to work with . i ' ve been consistently pleased with the end deliverables . –marty holmstrom , sr . copywriter , thomson reuters
video arts is now part of the tinopolis media empire . its 20 full - time staff are headed by ceo martin addison and include former senior coi man colin burgess as head of content . behind - camera creatives , hired project by project , are a mix of tinopolis talent and corporate sector freelancers . subject matter experts include peter honey and charles jennings . as for on - screen personalities , where in the 70s and 80s it was cleese and chums , and in the 90s video arts made much use of the alternative comedy gang , today’s stars include robert webb , mark heap , james nesbitt and several horrible histories and the thick of it cast members .
as mentioned , the workplace anthropologist might usefully compare video arts’ various eras . differences between them reflect how much the technology , and much of the culture , of work has radically changed . for example , today’s version of meetings , bloody meetings , undoubtedly the quintessential video arts classic , takes in conference calls and skypes as well as boardroom gatherings . in the old version of so you want to be a manager , the protagonist uses a dictaphone , now it’s an app… but what haven’t changed are the ‘eternal truths’ with which training films are ultimately concerned , in this case the human failure to plan and steer meetings , and the insecurities of the newly promoted .
these films are fondly remembered , but video arts today has been rebooted for the online era – once again aiming to shake up the world of learning . it’s fascinating to compare the new work with the classics , a measure of the ways the working world has changed drastically in 40 years – and the ways it’s changed not a jot .
the audio production and music recording facilities at video arts studios , is at your service for original music and jingle composition and production , as well as post scoring , audio sweetening and musician recording . for both short and long form scripts , clients from across the country utilize hired gums , a voice over service with over 30 unique voices .
the current value of the contribution of soft skills to the uk economy is worth annually over £88 billion . soft skills underpin around 6 . 5 % of the economy as a whole ( source : backing soft skills ) , but there is a deficit in these types of skills that impedes organisations’ ability to succeed . that’s where video arts comes in .
entertain your audience and something rather interesting happens : people remember what they’ve learnt . that’s why fun and humour have always played such a big part in our video and e - learning programmes .
i speak of video arts who , 40 years ago under founders anthony jay and john cleese , stormed the citadel with a barrel - load of groundbreaking training films , many starring cleese . it’s hard to overestimate what a sea - change these were , turning ‘industrial’ filmmaking on its head in several ways . they broke the mould ( still dominant today ) of films commissioned by corporations ( at the time mainly light and heavy industries ) for free distribution . video arts instead identified generic training needs , producing films about them without sponsorship – returning the investment when selling or renting them to interested training departments , usually within white - collar businesses . the films themselves marked an equally sharp departure from the stately industrial documentary : witty scripts , crafted ( with consultants’ advice ) to key learning points about skills and behaviours , using television talent and with high production values .
addison predicts learning departments will become ongoing curators of video from multiple sources , including user - generated content and professionally produced material like theirs . where video arts’ filmmaking schedule used to be centred on two or three ‘big’ productions annually , each treating several aspects of a large topic over an average 25 minutes running time , its producers today , mindful of the need for bite - sized e - learning ( often self - driven ) are also focused on building ‘libraries’ of 35 short films , each dealing with just one ‘learning point’ . a trainer can select the one film they need , package several into an onsite session or release a series at planned intervals to employees’ own devices . the first two libraries to come on - stream are ‘workplace essentials’ and ‘management essentials’ , trailed below :
as we’ve seen , the core of the proposition was never just its content but how it was distributed . mindful of video arts’ closeness to the broadcasting world , addison ( who’s been with the company 25 years ) draws a comparison between the ways digital technology is revolutionising tv viewing and the changes it is making to organisations’ training programmes : in both cases , essentially , a shift from producer to consumer led environments . where television was ruled by the schedule , today the platforms on which it sits matter more . likewise , screen - based learning is no longer all about groups in a classroom watching a film ordered from a catalogue .
“as well as learning through trial and error , we can observe and reflect on others’ experiences , giving us clues what would happen if we did the same thing . story - based video becomes a really powerful medium because it allows viewers to observe such situations , gaining insight as events unfold – think of it as an accelerated life experience . it may only take a two or three minute video story to trigger the reflection process . for this to work well , however , the learner needs to care about the consequences because it’s highly relevant to their personal goals and problems — relevance drives out reluctance to learn . additionally , learners must identify with the characters and care what happens to them – they need to be credible , so viewers really become emotionally engaged in their stories . ”
after building a high - profile business with videos such as meetings bloody meetings and enlisting the assistance of other comedians and actors such as dawn french and robert lyndsay , cleese sold the company to its management for pounds 43m in 1989 .
since then the business has been hit by the recession which affected training budgets . however last year the company was still highly profitable and made profits of pounds 3m on sales of pounds 12m .
mediakey plans to raise around pounds 20m from the float which will value the group at pounds 30m . it intends to develop a portfolio of publishing businesses that can be distributed on cd - rom and other new media .
in a second deal , also announced yesterday , mediakey is also paying pounds 6m for marshall information , a publishing company which specialises in reference books .
richard harman , former managing director of publishing group dorling kindersley , now runs mediakey .

we use this structure with our videos and e - learning to make your learning last longer . . .

the current value of the contribution of soft skills to the uk economy is worth annually over £88 billion .
thanks for getting in touch . one of the team will get back to you very soon .
it is the latest in a long list of acquisitions for the welsh company . last year , it completed the buy - up of the television corporation , owners of leading producers sunset + vine and mentorn , which makes question time .
over the last 30 years it has produced several hundred training videos and dvds for more than 100 , 000 organisations worldwide .
this acquisition moves our existing education and training business in tinopolis interactive into a new sector in that industry .

though they can all be proud of the impact of their work , none of the companies featured in this series on communications filmmaking could claim to be household names in their own right . until now : our 20th subject is not only a legend in the business – it also has a high public recognition factor .
both series were recently recognised by hamburg’s worldmediafestival and a third library , ‘customer service essentials , ’ is in the pipeline now .

founded in 1996 by paul maya and marc singer , togglethis merged the concepts of moo/mud and choose your own adventure to create some of the earliest , consumer-facing graphic avatars on the internet .

their interactive character technology laid the groundwork for later virtual reality companies like urltoken and second life .

the company was part of the nyc silicon alley community , being named one of ' @ny 's 25 ' companies in 1997 and 1998 .

the founders were named one of the silicon alley reporter 's 100 internet industry executives in 1997 – 1999 .

togglethis was primarily known for its original animated character , bozlo beaver .

bozlo was created to showcase togglethis ' interactive character technology ( ic technology ) .

bozlo was sent via weekly emails to subscribers ' computers .

in every episode bozlo came onto the desktop and insisted that the user was invading his desktop .

bozlo devised ways to get you to leave your computer .

in one episode bozlo brought with him angry document files that chased your cursor around the screen .

in other episodes , bozlo brought you a gift that turned out to be a bomb ; you and bozlo played a game of hot potato until one of you exploded .

in 1997 warner bros. licensed bozlo beaver and the ic technology .

bozlo was distributed at warner bros . online .

in addition to bozlo beaver , togglethis had promoted film , television and brand advertisers using its ic technology .

clients included the walt disney company , abc , new line cinemas , nbc , bmw , and coca-cola .

the campaign for austin powers , the spy who shagged me was seen by over 750,000 people and featured an interactive austin powers that trained the user on how to be a successful international man of mystery .

many of the togglethis characters were animated by colorado based artist , gwenda kaczor .

“toggled shows help advertisers communicate their messages to a demographically targeted audience , ” said paul maya , ceo of togglethis . “also , toggled shows allow marketers to be more creative with their ads in terms of length and content . ”
togglethis , a company that allows for the email delivery of animated , interactive content and advertisements to users’ desktops , on monday released the newest version of its technology and said it planned to work more closely with direct email marketers .
unlike avatars , which are animated characters that site users can control , togglethis ' character is controlled by a site producer . this means the character can serve as an online spokesperson , adopting the advertiser ' s verbal and visual metaphors .
togglethis , a company that allowsfor the e - mail delivery of animated , interactive content and advertisementsto users ' desktops , on monday released the newest version of its technologyand said it planned to work more closely with direct e - mail marketers .
togglethis designed these interactive desktops so they are compatible with windows 95 , 98 , 98se , me , and 2000 . a patch is available to make them work on windows xp environments but installation on other operating systems is at your own risk .
defunct software company togglethis designed interactive “freddy” desktops in conjunction with new line home video’s nightmare on elm street dvd boxset release . each interactive desktop alters icons and other elements to reflect a nightmarish environment in which freddy krueger plays tricks on your computer’s processes .
the coca - cola show gives consumers a chance to experience the magic of the polar bears on their desktops ,
said scott brannan , manager of internet marketing , coca - cola .
togglethis has created a show that allows people to interact with the polar bears , something which could not be done through traditional tv campaigns .
new york - based togglethis has created an animated “toggled show” for lycos to launch in april . lycos becomes the first portal to use togglethis e - mail animation technology to drive traffic to its site . the weekly show , called “superheroes and sidekicks , ” will pair consumers , who give permission to receive it via e - mail , with canine superhero lycos the dog to test their knowledge of trivia . it will be promoted on the homepage of lycos and the togglethis channel on lycos , which launched two months ago and allows users to download its cartoon - like content . paul maya , ceo of togglethis , said the show is “consumer - oriented to maintain and attract higher traffic to its site . ” jan horsfall , vice president of marketing at waltham , mass . - based lycos , said this kind of media “becomes a pro - active marketing statement . ” ( a lawsuit against the company filed by danvers , mass . - based labrador software alleging lycos the dog infringed on its labrador trademark was decided in lycos’ favor last month . ) in addition to building the lycos name , he said , the show will introduce subscribers to uses of the portal other than navigation of the web that they may not be aware of . lycos plans to sell sponsorships for the shows . horsfall said it will be easy to entice advertisers to take advantage of permission - based marketing to more than 1 . 5 million people in lycos’ database . “it’s not what we would consider to be a difficult sell , ” he said . “this is a no - brainer . ” lycos also expects to use “superheroes and sidekicks” to promote sweepstakes that run throughout the year . togglethis claims its shows’ click - through rates are 25 to 30 percent , compared to the internet’s average rate of less than 1 percent .
although togglethis has been around for several years and has created campaigns for new line cinema , virgin atlantic airways , and at & t , the company has never really broken through with its technology . but now , with the growth of email marketing , and the targeting , tracking , and personalization of its new software , the company hopes to grow its business .
the agreement also marks a surprisingly aggressive effort for internet - shy coke . the two - episode series , titled
the polar bear show
can be downloaded at coca - cola ' s web site ( www . cocacola . com ) and at togglethis ' web site .
the polar bear show
will allow consumers to interact with the famous
mom
polar bear and polar bear cub . the show also will highlight the
coca - cola enjoy
jingle that is featured in the new campaign .

time to know is an israeli education technology program , that started as a philanthropic project in israel in 2005 , by shmuel meitar and morris kahn from the aurec group , who were the founders of amdocs , a software company that specializes in customer care and billing systems for the telecom industry .

time to know enhances student learning by providing engaging and adaptive content focused on exploration , inquiry-based learning , collaborative class discussions , multimedia activities , and games .

originally , it was strictly a philanthropic endeavor .

meitar had spent a decade helping underprivileged students particularly in rural israel advance their education through scholarships and college readiness services .

the platform was first piloted in israel in 2007 , where it continues to be a philanthropic effort .

in 2008 , meitar recruited businessman and professor dr. yosi ben-dov , with experience in the u.s. and israel .

they established time to know as a for-profit entity outside israel in order to fund continued development .

the platform was introduced to public schools in texas in 2009 and in new york city ’s izone in 2010-11 .

as of february 2011 , time to know was used by 60 schools ( 6,500 students ) in israel and by 29 schools ( 3,200 students ) in new york city and 4 schools in texas ( 1,500 students ) .

pilot projects began in 2012 in singapore ( three schools with 300 students ) and korea ( one school , expected to expand to 10 schools with 50 students by fall 2012 ) .

the program was slated to be introduced in france in march 2012 with 300 students in five schools .

the company employs 250 people in israel and the us , and has an extensive professional development program .

it has been funded entirely by meitar , who has invested $ 60 million of his own money into developing time to know .

in october 2011 , laverne evans srinivasan , former deputy chancellor with the new york city department of education , joined time to know as president of its north american division .

time to know created the first digital teaching platform which is a fully integrated platform the teacher to take full advantage of the digital world .

the basic hardware requirement is one laptop ( or tablet ) per student and a desktop connected to a projector for the teacher .

the main features of the software are the ability of the teacher to " control " the students .

time to know

t2k : a paradigm shift in k - 12 education from time to know on vimeo .
chen joined time to know in 2015 . she brings with her more than a decade of hr experience .
time to know offers an array of products that provide for end - to - end ed - tech solutions , for more effective teaching and learning .
contrary to partial solutions such as computerized tutorials , or digital whiteboards , time to know set out to create a holistic solution designed to migrate from instructional to constructivist learning in which learning and knowledge are experience driven .
prior to time to know , oren was vp r & d of deep . it , a start - up company that enables publishers to enrich their content with visual data & infographics .
time to know is the realization of a content editor’s dream – an intuitive authoring tool that allows the user to create highly interactive , engaging , data - driven instruction .
due to the nature of the work environment ( the classroom ) , and the content ( curriculum ) , time to know has set certain infrastructure and operational prerequisites schools must commit to . these are :
“laasot kavod lamedina” is an israeli expression that sums - up time to know’s story . it translates roughly to “to bring national pride” and it’s used to express “bravo , i’m proud to be an israeli because of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ” . rarely , if at all , is it used in the context of a startup . in the case of time to know though , it fits hand to glove . respect .
the curriculum : time to know designs and produces what it calls ‘full digital curriculum coverage , ’ which is a complete year’s worth of lesson plans , learning activities , and homework assignments . to grasp just what an immense undertaking this is , multiply these by the four subjects matters time to know targets—math , science , language arts and social studies—and now multiply that by 13 year’s worth of education ( kindergarten plus 12 formal years of schooling ) . to put this into perspective , in a single year time to know produces animation with a combined length of one and a half feature films .
before joining time to know , he worked in various senior marketing and business development roles , helping b2b and b2c companies , such as appsee and ginger software , grow their business .
guy j . ofek joined time to know to lead its expansion in asia and the pacific . blessed with a professional career spanning over two decades , and divided between israel , singapore and korea , guy bring extensive and highly diversified business , channel and account management experience . prior to joining time to know , guy carried regional positions in apac with robogroup , stratasys and recently mcor technologies , targeting both education and commercial clients .
for all intent and purpose , time to know is a software company whose management application , applets and content , all reside on the cloud and are accessible via web browser . there are two main components to the system :
support & professional services : schools committing to time to know’s curriculum must be able to provide on - premises technical support . this means that if a student’s netbook experiences technical problems , it will dealt with immediately , rather than having to wait for an it support professional to make a call days after .
miri stressman joined time to know in 2012 and has over 15 years of highly successful financial experience . a dedicated finance professional with versatile management skills and experience , she excels in resolving challenges by process improvements .
time to know , the next - generation ed - tech solutions company , empowers the human connection in digital learning . by placing the learner and instructor in the center of the learning process , they are closely connected to boost learner success .
time to know has been running pilots in four schools in texas and ten schools in israel . the expectation for the 2010 / 2011 school year is for fifteen pilots in the us and around 50 in israel .
we at time to know are reshaping the way people learn—through digital , insight - driven , social learning that empowers human connection . find out more at http : / / www . timetoknow . com ! show less
content preview & simulation : teachers are able to run through lessons at home , allowing them to review lesson plans ahead of class time .
schools must also commit to provide their teachers with training and support . this sounds obvious , but if mis - handled it could be the achilles heal of the entire initiative . these services can be provided by time to know itself or by a third party .
yair brosh is the chief executive officer of time to know since 2015 . he focuses on the software and hardware development and heading procurement of the company . he holds an mba of business administration and b . sc of industrial engineering .
this is the story of time to know , an enigmatic israeli startup that has somehow managed to remain under the radar of israel’s tightly knit startup scene . what makes this feat wondrous is not only because of the daunting challenge the company has chosen to meet , but that it has quietly ramped to 350 employees and no less than $ 60m in funding—all without attracting attention .
as a learning science company , our role is not to ensure that every student has access to the same resources . instead , we aim to provide each student with right tool , at the right time , for the right purpose - which requires that we couple what we know about the science of learning with careful consideration of persistent educational inequities .
teachers do have flexibility and can mix and match lesson plan modules and exercises . there’s also the ability to add external items such as videos from youtube for example , or links to sites on the web . time to know discovered from its pilots that american teachers stuck to the structured curriculum , while israeli teachers took advantage of the flexibility at their disposal and enriched the curriculum with external materials .
dr . dovi weiss is one of the founding partners of time to know . he is responsible for its pedagogic vision and strategy , as well as the concepts , methodologies and innovations that are the building blocks of time to know’s unique pedagogic approach . prior to his time with time to know , dovi served as ceo at e - nnovate , and headed high - tech innovation at sit , ltd . dovi holds a ph . d . in mathematics and science teaching from tel aviv university , a m . ed . , specializing in educational technology , from boston university and an m . b . a . from the wharton - recanati business school , tel aviv university . he is also a graduate of the mandel institute for educational leadership , was named as one of israel’s 50 most influential people in education ( 2010 ) , and was awarded honorable mention for the prime minister’s prize for initiatives and innovation ( 2012 ) , in recognition for his pioneering efforts in the field of technology and education .
daniel redel is a global / multi - cultural business development and sales vp for time to know since 2016 . he’s an expert in cultivating long term relationships with clients , suppliers and partners . he holds an mba from idc executive education , and a ba in electrical and communications engineering .
the feedback collected from teachers is quite interesting : 86 % reported an increase in instructional time . there was also a decrease in discipline and an increase in individual assistance during class time . teachers also reported an increased sense of empowerment to guide and support the learning process .
alert management : real - time notifications of student progress that alerts teachers on students that require extra attention and assistance .
to date , time to know has produced yearly curriculums for israeli schools in the subjects of hebrew , english and math for 4th , 5th and 6th grades . for american schools , it’s produced yearly curriculums for 4th and 5th grades in the subjects of math and language arts . by july 2011 , curriculums will be expanded to include grades 3 and 6 , with curriculums for science added across all four grades .
the challenge is daunting not only because of the sheer amount of content that requires to be designed and produced , but also because the curriculum has to fulfill alignment to state and country standards . this means that curriculum which received approval in texas will require tweaking for approval in new york . this explains why time to know employees a team of 350 consisting of 120 pedagogy and instructional designers ( aka teachers ) , 60 graphics artists , illustrators and animators and 80 technologists .
time to know is the realization of a single man’s vision to un - root teaching methodologies from their 19th century origins and thrust them into the 21st century . the entrepreneur is shmuel meitar , co - founder of israeli hi - tech posterchild amdocs . to appreciate meitar’s commitment , consider this : he is timetoknow’s sole investor . that’s right , the $ 60m the company has taken in funding all came out of his pocket .
the basic thesis time to know is operating under is that today’s current classroom is following a teaching paradigm designed in the industrial age , i . e . , a teacher standing in front of a class , a blackboard on the wall and students at their desks . think of it this way… imagine time warping a teacher from the 1800’s and implanting her in a classroom in 2010 . she could basically hit the ground running with little to no adjustment in teaching style . quite scary when you think about it .
stay on top of the learning process by receiving a 360 - degree view of data analytics , actionable insights and real - time alerts on learner progress and performance for just - in - time intervention . create high - level visual reports with insightful bi tool to make date - driven business decisions .
time to know believes there are three main reasons why today’s classroom is ineffective : first , relevancy—or rather , irrelevancy . kids are living in a digital world with a tremendous amount of stimulus . expecting them to happily and effectively embrace ‘passive learning’ that requires them to just sit , listen and provide output in exams is simply unrealistic . second , variance . there no such thing as a homogeneous level of learning and comprehension in a classroom of students . third , assessment—aka , the feedback loop . in today’s classroom a student could have gotten lost with the material three weeks back , but the teacher would be oblivious to it .

the curriculum is presented to and interacted with by the students through ‘rich exploration applets’ . these provide guided learning sequences intended to facilitate the development of cognitive learning skills in a sequential and spiraled manner . the purpose of the applets is to motivate students to explore , experiment , discover , and discuss the concepts presented under each subject . doing so allows students to form deeper understandings of these concepts and how they can be extended and adapted to new situations .

the curriculum combines ‘blended learning’ materials , from movies , to on - screen tutorials , to on - paper exercises . take for example , 4th grade math aligned to texas state standards . there are 81 lesson segments , each 120 minutes long . the lesson segments provide a complete coverage and preparation for standardized testing . lesson segments include :
becoming a digital learning experiences company was a strategic move that allows us to lead in the digital learning market .
it also allows teachers to customize learning sequences , assign assessments to students , and create reports of student progress . as each student uses a laptop during class , the teacher can monitor individual progress and communicate with each student unobtrusively .
together we can leverage learning science to target knowledge gaps , personalize instruction , promote retention , and transform learning for every student .
another dimension was brought from israel’s ministry of finance and bank of israel , which both see timetoknow’s approach as being able to ultimately increase the gdp .
once the teacher runs through the lesson in the classroom , the system begins to record data such as what learning activities were used , student achievement , etc .
if this isn’t compelling enough , the system is also adaptive . a component called pal , which stands for ‘practice and learning’ , maps each student’s knowledge in response to answers given in the subjects of math and language arts . as a result , a practice path is then built on the fly to address the student’s specific strengths and weaknesses .
learners will benefit from a collaborative and supportive environment allowing them to intuitively communicate with others , help one another , share ideas , get immediate feedback and consult their instructor .

gallery : students can submit their work to the shared gallery area for peer review and class discussion . teachers can divide students into groups with unique assignments , and then have the groups share and discuss their work in the gallery . they can also promote collaboration and peer review by encouraging students to write comments on peer and group projects in the gallery . these can be performed as part of the lesson , or afterward .
learning management system : this is the teacher’s command center , a management application that allows the teacher to review each student’s progress , view trends in the class’ performance , as well as plan for the next day’s lessons .
feedback collected from students showed that they perceived the new learning methodologies as fun and relevant . there was also an increase in motivation and positive attitude to subjects taught . put differently , the kids started enjoying math ( ! )
the geoboard applet for example ( thumbnail on right ) is designed to encourage students perform constructive problem solving . it has four areas : the first is the work grid in which the student can manipulate different objects , draw lines and polygons , write text , and measure objects . the second area is the toolbox , which contains different tools for mathematical expressions , drawing , coloring , measuring and entering text . the third area is a collection of visual objects to be placed on the grid . the fourth area is the external atoms zone where the student receives instructions and answers different questions regarding his / her conclusions . the atoms , containing the questions and directions , are gradually exposed to coincide with progresses .
administration : teachers , principals and superintendents can generate various reports to monitor class progress ( standard coverage for instance ) and achievements ( grades ) . the system allows data analysis , graphing and reporting . the system also comes with an administration component for control of all the technical elements .
infrastructure : every student must be allotted a laptop or netbook with a headset . no more than one student per machine . every classroom must also be equipped with a laptop for the teacher that is connected to a projector . a wifi internet connection is another prerequisite . ethernet will not do as it restricts inner - class mobility .
learning activities based on interactions with rich exploration applets ( more on these below ) . these activities include group , teacher - led , and individual work .
students also have home remote access so they can go over materials that were taught in the classroom , do homework , or review and comment on items in the galleries .
