Ellipse is an online service developed with the intention of creating an educational community to improve the quality of education provided by the school and allows transparency for the parent into the environment in which their child is getting education.

Now a day, there are enough services like e-learning applications to help the students in getting high quality education. These all are very worthy tools, but all of them focusing on the students to improve themselves. Ellipse has a different unique approach. We believe that in order to improve the quality of education a student receives, it is equally important to bring the schools and parents to the same technology arena. So ellipse is trying to arm the parents and schools with efficient tools with which they can support the students in improving their educational standards.

Ellipse encompasses the entire range of educational entities to bring quality education for the students. This includes but not limited to the schools, parents, students, teachers, educational consultants, subject experts etc. Ellipse behaves as a platform for co-coordinating all these entities to benefit the student in improving their performance.

Ellipse treats communication and analysis as the axes of education. But unfortunately these are the two areas where the parents and schools fail to achieve efficiency. In a technologically advanced modern world, why we should stop thinking about filling our arsenal with SMART tools to strengthen these axes. Ellipse is a one-stop solution for all the SMART tools required in efficiently managing communication and analysis.

Ellipse for Parents

One of the primary concerns of a parent is regarding their child’s education. But unfortunately the busy official duties prevent the parent from having a basic understanding of the environment in which their child is getting educated. Ellipse helps the parent by providing all necessary details of this environment including but not limited to the details of teachers, class time tables, exam schedules, fees schedules,events in school, behavior and performance of their children in school etc.

Ellipse opens a channel of dedicated communication between school and parents. Parents will receive alerts on situations when their child is absent in school, result of examination is announced, position of school bus, important announcements from schools (such as exam schedules or undeclared holidays and so on) etc. in their mobile phone. Ellipse also provides tools for the parents to have one-to-one communication with the school or teachers.

Ellipse is not only a facility to view the details; it also has built-in tools to analyze the performance or progress of the child. Analysis always requires thorough knowledge and experience. Ellipse is built with both these capabilities. Thus ellipse can do the difficult job of analysis and will present the result to the parent.

Ellipse is not only a tool but a community of all actors in the field of education to support the parent in improving the education of their child. Consultation with experts, discussion forums etc are built into ellipse to help the parent in taking decisions regarding the education of their child.

Ellipse for Schools

The quality of the school depends on the quality of education it provides. The quality of education depends on the quality of students who receive it and the quality of teachers who provides it. In order to be a good educational institution, the school should maintain a balance between these two. There comes ellipse which can easily and efficiently analyze the performance of both students and teachers by considering all the environmental factors including but not limited to the dependencies between these two groups.

Using ellipse, schools can maintain the details of the students as a file which can be shared with the parent. This file can include the academic performance of the student, details of extracurricular activities, the character or behavior of the student etc. The communications between parents and school regarding the student will also be attached with the file.

Schools can use ellipse to circulate notices or invitations or announcements to parents. This can be notices regarding events in schools, exam schedules, fees collection reminders, undeclared holidays, behavior or performance of a student etc. The announcements can be sent to a particular parent or a group depending upon the scope of the message that needs to be conveyed. For all such announcements, an alert will be sent to the mobile of the parent(s) and the same will be recorded in the corresponding student file. This can be viewed at anytime by logging on to the ellipse online interface.

Ellipse helps to improve the parent-school relation by engaging them in the day-to-day activities and decision making of schools through proper communication. Also schools can use ellipse to get proper feedback from parents. This will naturally increase the involvement and participation of the parents in the school activities. Ellipse proves its significance here by providing not only a medium for communication but also a tool to keep track of the communication. Also this is an efficient way for the school to assure that the parent is aware of all the affairs of their child in school. For example, if the result of an examination is published, it is possible for the school to know whether the parent has seen the result or not.

Educational Consultants

In many situations, parents will have confusions regarding their child’s higher education. In other situations, parents may be worried about the performance or behavioral problems of their children. In such situations, ellipse can help the parent to get a Consultant to attend the matter.
