Samsung on Tuesday announced the launch of Smart Learning, what the company is calling India's first education store, under its MSC (Media Solutions Center) division.
The South Korean consumer electronics giant says the Samsung Smart Learning store has been designed to offer the "best-in-class interactive study material to students." The material is meant to supplement the educational needs of students studying in classes 1st to 12th for CBSE board, as well as students preparing for competitive examinations. Samsung says it will soon also offer material for other school boards and higher education syllabi, apart from providing skill building content.
The Samsung Smart Learning store will be available on all Samsung Galaxy tablets, and the company says it will offer "high quality education content curated from leading education partners and academicians." The content includes in-depth subject-wise content with multimedia tutorials, interactive lesson-based exercises, and practice tests.
