The HARRIKEN is coming up as a “LIVE” education platform through what the educators will directly connect with the students. A platform which will keep the same excitement of a traditional institute with a lot more accessibility. One, from anywhere in the world can connect with educators even from Harvard via HARRIKEN. Educators will create their profile with their details based on what the students will subscribe to their session. There will be educators and institutes for all subject, level and type. Because the reality is, the world doesn’t have a shortage of people who can educate, it is just the geographical boundaries which is holding them back.

Why HARRIKEN is the most needed platform in comparison to existing e-learning sites?

– “Online courses have a 10% to 20% higher failed retention rate than tradi-tional classroom environments (Herbert, 2006). Totally, 40% to 80% online students drop out of online classes (B. Smith, 2010)” – By Papia Bawa, sgo.sagepub.com

– Students don’t have time for online training: “They have so much time and flexibility…that they can never actually find time to do it.” -By Game-learn.com

First of all, HARRIKEN is live classroom. It will have everything that a traditional institute have like mentor-ship and emotional touch of educators; and group-work and interaction with fellow learners. We all know that, students does not follow lessons. What they follow is a guide who brings the best out of the students through proper nourishment.

Some of the main reasons why e-Learning is not as successful and big as it should be are, lessons are mostly recorded videos; and lack of student to teacher and student to student interaction; problem solving isn’t getting priority; students get bored; students can bunk the sessions; competitive development is myth; incompatibility with curriculum and language; students have to switch between platforms to get lessons on different subjects etc.

Initial features of the HARRIKEN will be:
• Academic and freelance educators around the world can create their detail profile.
• Automatic analysis, reporting of educator’s performance based on key factors.
• Educator sorting according to student’s preference.
• Maximum ten students per session at a time with full interaction between educator and themselves.
• Conducting lesson is an art. So, the educators can set the classroom environment accordingly.
• Interactive tools like screen-sharing, on screen art, on screen interactive objects will be integrated.
• Additional features like question buzzer (virtual hand riser); exercise and scoring; class wise file and presentation sharing; class recording for future exercise; intra-class chat; information sharing and networking; teacher review and feedback; compliant reporting and so on will be provided.

What made the team to come up with this platform?
Coming from a part of the world with one of the most backward and corrupted education system, every single member of the team are first hand victim of system.

• THE GAP IN EDUCATION QUALITY OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES:
A huge number of nations are following an education process and curriculum which was invented half a century ago. The lack of knowledge, educational resources and tools among the educators of those countries are the main reasons of this gap. That’s why the finest colleges and universities made it necessary for the applicants to go through a lot of additional tests just to verify their capability. The HARRIKEN will bring that standard of education and exactly those educators with necessary knowledge, resource and tools right into the hands of the students around the world in a single platform.

• WOMEN ARE LEFT BEHIND:
Women are left behind in comparison to men when it comes to education. In many cases, due to conservative societies, women cannot participate properly in educational activities. Then there are conditions like early child birth, safety and being involved in home making. Of course, we believe that nothing should keep women behind the doors, so the HARRIKEN can be a platform for them to come out of this situation and win against the odds by both learning and educating.

• STUDENT-TEACHER RATIO:
– Only about 80 million teachers are educating 2.2 billion students worldwide.

The HARRIKEN will connect teachers from all over the world to ensure much more effective use of existing number of educators. As we mentioned before, “the reality is, the world doesn’t have a shortage of people who can educate, it is just the geographical boundaries which is holding them back.

• THE DARK TRUTH:
Education worldwide is a 5-6 trillion dollar industry with around 2.2 billion students which is increasing every single day! Even though the numbers seem to be pretty impressive, there is a dark side of it. Getting the very basic education is harsh reality for a lot of countries where, one has to choose between going to school and get killed on the transit or stay home just to live the miserable life they’re living for generations; getting sexually assaulted just to be approved from one grade to next or stay home to raise their own babies at an age younger than thirteen; buying food for at least one time for the family or sending a kid to school; the list can keep going forever. Hundreds of government, non-government and international organizations are spending billions of dollars to reduce these challenges. Most of which goes on hiring the educators, keeping them and the facilities safe. With the HARRIKEN, spending less than one-fourth of what they are spending now, those organizations can ensure world class education for these people under risk.

• STUDENT DEBT:
According to USA Today, only U.S. students had 1.2 trillion dollar of debt in 2017. With proper use of the HARRIKEN, institutes can minimize a big amount of their costs and still educate more people worldwide than they are educating now!

The world is getting smaller day by day. Making everyone familiar with each other is important to avoid conflict and forward towards development. If our traditional education could bring us this far, HARRIKEN can be one of the biggest tools through what we can MAKE IT HAPPEN!
