EdServ ties up with Amazon.com

EdServ Softsystems Limited, an education support services company, has tied-up with online retail major Amazon.com to offer its 2tionPlus educational applications through the latter’s app store.

S Giridharan, chairman and chief executive officer of EdServ, said, “Through this tie-up with Amazon.com, we will provide the entire online education content, including tuition, academics, skill development and test prep services, on the Amazon app store.”

2tionPlus is a social networking collaborative learning application to provide support of around 30,000 tutors to the students. It has over one million embedded videos arranged based on subjects and also supports students in creating study groups and undertaking collaborative learning.

While downloading and installing the application is free, users would be charged with a fee for the premium content provided through the company’s web-based platform for online tuition - Lampsglow.com.

Last year, the company had tied-up with major mobile brands, including Blackberry, Nokia and Samsung, to offer its educational content through smartphones.

More than 50 per cent of the overall users of EdServ’s education content are from the mobile segment, according to a company announcement.
