A groundbreaking product was unveiled at a recent event in Colombo, with the goal of creating a one-stop centre and worldwide platform for learning, space for skills and career development, and leadership programs. www.straighta.lk is an interactive place where knowledge seekers would find a world of opportunity and where employers could meet their ideal candidates anytime anywhere.

“We are on a mission that would create a better environment, equal access to knowledge and education for all, thus empowering students from all corners of the country to uncover both local and global career opportunities. Focused on this mission we hope to become the leading e-learning platform in Sri Lanka, as well as to contribute possible means towards the development of the nation by empowering the citizens with education, expertise and skills,” said StraightA College of Online Education Manager Operations Manoj Siriwardhane.

“At StraightA, we offer online sessions for the local and international syllabus from the primary level to the Advanced Level and would continue to provide professional courses for those who are working or pursuing on a professional career path. Students will ultimately receive access to a ‘Knowledge Hub,’ which will include an exclusive panel of lecturers, while academic courses will be held at your preferred residential location. Most significantly, we recognised the absence of a Learning Management System (LMS) in similar products and emphasised on it from the commencement of our project,” explained Head of Academic Nipuna Neranja, launching the new product to the market.

Addressing the event, Head of Technology Sarath Wickramaratne mentioned that it was the latest online platform that offered an exclusive stable learning atmosphere in which students join online sessions with much enthusiasm. “Let your child learn by reflection and allow them to mentally prepare for activities in the real world. So far, the response from parents and student participation has been quite favourable, and we are delighted to proceed with future platform development based on this feedback,” Wickramaratne explained further.

It is tailored to handle multiple communication platforms, which accommodates data speed fluctuations and facilitates hassle-free learning for anyone. It could easily be run on laptop, mobile, tablet with mobile data, Wi-Fi or ADSL and would ideally suit some Sri Lankan students who are desperate for a stable internet connection. A dedicated video library is used to provide students with access to any missed classes. So even if you miss one session, you can simply catch up.

“Availability of sessions 24x7, 365 days, across the globe makes us so special,” commented StraightA Head of Accounts and Finance Heshani Godage. “We’ve streamlined the enrolling process easier for everyone, and there is a variety of online payment options for busy parents, including credit cards, bank transfers, and more. Online quizzes are also available for students who can access and test themselves, independently. Administration reports provide precise information such as revenue derived per lecturer, amongst many others.

Value-added services and future opportunities are available for each and every teacher who is qualified in different subjects. It’s your call as well to join StraightA – College of Online Education!
