KGS uses Gems My Learning which was called GLG ( Gems Learning Gateway) earlier, as an online Education portal. It’s not a fully blown LMS, so students can’t take quizzes/tests, submit assignments or interact. My learning serves 3 Major Purposes
- You can download files uploaded by teachers like holiday homework, resource files and curriculum ( Through My Learning > Learning Spaces)
- You can view the circulars and notices ( Through My learning > School Areas)
- You can Pay the school fees, view the Grade Cards ( Through My Learning > Pay Fees)
KGS uses other portals as well like mindspark ( for mathematics), mobymax ( for English) and Mcgraw hill connect-ED ( for Science). On these portals, students can view interactive lessons, test their understanding of a topic and also submit the assignments. They have been testing and experimenting a lot of portals and in 2016 I noticed them trying 4-5 more portals, but finally they seem to be staying with these 3.
