A digital study room for PU students

Students who are preparing for the upcoming PU board examinations can now turn to QBER - a digital study room.

The digital interactive platform can be accessed through smartphones. Here, the students will collaborate, co-create, compete and help each other to answer questions put forth by experts.

QBER, developed by IPOMO, trains students in a unique and innovative way somewhat similar to cricket coaching. QBER is often referred to as the 'question bowling machine'.

Students just have to download the app, which then would deliver five most probable questions with a schema in all the subjects including science, commerce and arts.

How it can be accessed

The digital study room can be accessed on IPOMO's OnBimba app, or at https://onbimba.com/qber

“The student can write the answers on a sheet of paper, click a photograph and post it on the platform. This will be reviewed by the experts in the respective subjects. Students from rural and urban areas will be a part of this community, free of cost.

"A smartphone has become a part and parcel for students; we are making learning more interesting and innovative digitally. Keeping the writing part in mind, we have retained the pen and paper system,” Hariprakash Shanbag, MD, IPOMO, told DH.

In 2018, as a pilot, QBER was launched in Seshadripuram College. After seeing a good response, the designers have opened the platform for everyone.

Dr Wooday P Krishna, secretary, Seshadripuram Institute, said, "QBER is a platform for the rural students, too, and can be termed as the digitisation of the good old 'combine study'. With QBER, students will also be able to develop their communication skills as well.”
