Gujarat's online education companion
G-Shala, which is an acronym for Gujarat Students' Holistic Adaptive Learning App, is an education and reference application that you can conveniently enjoy at the comfort of your android device. Developed by Samagra Shiksha - MIS, it can provide digital interactive 2D and 3D augmented e-contents which are mapped out with textbooks for all the subjects.
You can download and utilize this app solution for free. Bear in mind that you'll need to provide your mobile number and student ID to register here. If you find G-Shala lacking, BYJU’S - The Learning App will be a better alternative.
Purposeful but poor performance
G-Shala is created with a purpose to help nurture the students from Standard 1 to 12 of government and aided schools. Thus, it was designed based on Gujarat State Education Board (GSEB) syllabus by different Gujarat education bodies including the Gujarat Council of School Education, Samagra Shiksha, Education Department, and Government of Gujarat. It normally provides learning guides with supplementary materials and topics mapped with Learning Outcomes.
Moreover, as a student, you will also have virtual simulations for laboratory experiments as well as self-learning and self-assessment modules. For teachers, on the other hand, it gives pre-classroom modules and instructor LED videos. There is no doubt how feature-packed this teaching and training tool can be but the overall performance of the application is a major red flag and hindrance to continue your usage.
It's just highly unstable and you can expect to face a lot of issues as you navigate within the app. Launching the application can take a long time to respond. At times, it'll run but then, suddenly stops in the middle of opening it. The user interface is not friendly at all. You'll need to click multiple times on your appropriate role just for it to be successfully selected.
Badly needs improvements
G-Shala contains some promising features and references that can greatly aid students from Std. 1 to 12. As a learning utility that was produced by various governing bodies, the expectations were and unfortunately, they failed to meet them. The entire application needs to be overhauled if the developers are still eager to provide more convenient access to education for Gujarat students.
