While creating this innovative product for IL&FS Education and Training Division, Web Access put to test their creative imagination baseline "If you can dream it, we can do it". Web Access team managed to successfully create 3 different software products with multiple modules in a iterative and evolving manner. The K-Series (K-Creator, K-Class and K-Content) constitute a learning environment that is unique. It uses the latest technologies, but is designed for usage even by teachers in rural India with very little or no knowledge of computers. It supports the many languages that India has, whilst allowing the students to seamlessly use and enjoy the system, without formal computer training.

Overview
A financial giant, IL&FS’s mandate is to ensure an atmosphere with financial backing including funding to create a world-class infrastructure. The management concluded that an important aspect of infrastructure is education and created a company IL&FS ETS to look after this important aspect.

Business Need
Il&FS ETS created K-Yan Design Center, an independent research group to create a new approach to learning. Prof. Kirti Trivedi was appointed to head the project. The KDC team envisaged a comprehensive learning environment and wanted a software created that would function as the primary resource of this learning environment.

Challenges and Requirements
The biggest challenge was that the requirements were not clear. It was a dream in which the achievables were known, but not the deliverables. It was not known how or what exactly needed to be done, it was not even known for sure whether it’s possible. To add to that the funds available were limited.

Web Access Role
Web Access decided to test its baseline, “If you can dream it, we can do it”. It accepted the challenge with a broad outline target. It also agreed to something unthinkable in the IT industry. An evolving requirement with a locked in time and cost estimation. We managed to successfully create 3 different software with multiple modules by working closely with the KDC team in developing the evolving framework and creating requirement specifications in a iterative and evolving manner.

Benefits and Outcome
K-Creator, K-Class and K-Content together constitute a learning environment that is unique. It uses the latest technologies, but is customized to be used even by teachers in rural India with zero knowledge of computers. It supports the many languages that India has, whilst allowing the students to seamlessly use and enjoy the system, without formal computer training. It is a good example of unity in diversity that makes India unique.
