About this app

In yet another initiative to foster “Anytime Anywhere Learning” DCM Schools have introduced PETALS ( Personalised Education Training And Learning Systems ) to enable the students to connect with their classes even after school hours. The objective is to help the students feel interested, involved and understand the concepts of various subjects within the safe confines of their home. Petals will make learning more interactive & facilitate better engagement amidst all stakeholders. It is a futuristic vision of DCM Schools to ensure world class teaching- learning process. Petals will also make learning fun and help in tracking one’s progress through the tests which are provided at the end of each chapter. It combines classroom learning with online learning, in which students can, in part, control the time, pace, and place of their learning. It is a form of blended learning in which students understand novel content online by watching video lectures at home with teachers offering more personalised guidance.
With Petals, DCM Group of Schools is poised to enter a new era of learning.
PETALS is a Personalised Educational Training And Learning System available exclusively to the students and teachers of DCM Group of Schools. Through this Study App, you can access video lectures by expert teachers and take tests/assessments after watching the video lecture and/or after completing a chapter, whenever you want. These video lectures will help you in understanding concepts and solving question papers. Since the complete course videos are available with you 24/7 you can study and revise anytime throughout the year. The content is well organised by chapters and simply structured for easy navigation. Each chapter is broken into small modules of 5 to 7 mins each to keep the lectures interesting and to the point. The relevant topic is explained thoroughly. Animation and presentation have been included so that you can understand concepts better. You can even add notes to the video timeline and assess your performance with tests at the end of every chapter (EoC) and module (EoM).
