In this project, the school class room lessons available online will be identified and mapped to the learning outcomes and learning content of the school text books issued by the ministry of Education in Sri Lanka. The mapping will be published online in three languages. Parents, school teachers and students could visit the online web portal and identify the necessary lessons available on the Internet to identify the required lessons and exercises to improve the learning outcomes mentioned in the school textbooks. A series of online talks will be conducted with the support of the Ministry of Education, Sri Lanka and the National Institute of Education to make the people aware of the online learning portal and its advantages.
