CCSCAT Digital School System

Abstract

CCSCAT stands for Central Content Source Computer Aided Teaching. CCSCAT Digital School System represents a significant advancement in digital education technology, designed to transform classroom teaching and learning experience. It caters for all levels of education. The work is in two categories—tertiary schools, and non-tertiary schools (pre-school to senior secondary or high school). The hardware used are a wide screen television and a thin client. A teacher’s standing table is also needed in both categories. The underlying theory in this work is Dr. Richard Mayer’s theory of multimedia learning (Mayer, 2001), which says “People learn more with a combination of texts and images than with texts alone or images alone.” The subject matter is simplified, using images and videos to explain theories, experiments, events, principles, etc. With the help of AI and training on software manipulation, multimedia lessons are built and the result is a well simplified pedagogy. The beauty of the work is that the system can be deployed both in cities and in remote villages, as it requires no internet connection. The teacher, at the end of the lesson, becomes more effective while learners experience a lower learning curve and go home fulfilled.
