'Candela' to debut at Colombo Book Fair

Candela, an innovative new interactive education tool, is to be launched at the Colombo International Book Fair at the BMICH next week.

This is a product that is available in CD form, which can be loaded on to any computer to provide children with a learning experience and can be used as a tool by tutors whilst giving parents the opportunity to track their child's performance.

The initial products to be launched include Grade 6 and Grade 8 Science in Sinhala. Grade 7 will be launched in late 2012. Trilingual versions of all three grades are due to be launched in 2013. These products are entirely based on the Education Ministry's officially published curriculum for science.

"Candela Learning Technologies (Pvt) Ltd. is a learner-centric education solutions provider which provides students and teachers with cost effective learning and teaching tools that make the process of learning science more engaging and entertaining," a spokesman for Candela said.
