AFTER BPO IT’S EPO’S

" title="Atom Few years ago, It was call centers that were outsourced to India, then came the technical and animation outsourcing phase. This year there has been a rapid growth in the new form of outsourcing- education process outsourcing (EPO) or online tutoring.
INDIAN brains are recognized world over. Today teachers in India are tutoring children across the globe in maths and science, thanks to the internet. With the rapid development in technology and other online learning, tutoring companies have got a boost. Many are investing in technologies like multimedia chat rooms, voice over internet protocol and so on. The real power of internet as an educational medium is not in its ability to cheaply broadcast canned messages to the masses, but in its ability to network students and teachers together.
HOW DOSE EPO WORKS?
Students across the globe and Indian teacher log on to a website at a predefined time for a particular course. The technology used is IEC, which integrates web, video and voice in an IP based software platform. While it is a one on one session for a student, the teacher usually attends to multiple students simultaneously on different links. The session is generally of an hour duration, providing sufficient time to even ask questions.feed">Site Feed
