 Studentsguild.com
is basically an educational services company.
It gives in depth and comprehensive information
to students ranging from university / college
search, admission / entrance exam announcement,
courses available, and travel information. Currently,
information available pertains to education in
India and the US and information on UK is being
enhanced to meet the growing needs of the students.
Students guild is therefore a tool for education,
knowledge, interaction and leisure for learners
all around the globe. Registration to the site
is not compulsory and is free.
The site was conceptualized by Kurt Venkatraman
of Oslo, Norway. MrVenkatraman felt
there was a need to bring all students under one
roof. According to him, most of the existing Indian
sites focussed on IT with other careers relegated
to the background. Studentsguild will also provide
guidance and direction to a student. At the X
standard level, the student will be tested for
intelligence, capability and analytical skills.
The key components of the site are education resources
locator, resources networking (libraries, bookstores),
literary information, user education management
tools, advanced personal information manager,
global career issues and tools, international
education networking, self-expression forums and
tools, leisure activities resources locator and
tools.
To make the site more useful and interactive the
Team at Studentsguild.com is constantly planning
new ideas for the site.
Mr Gordon D'Souza, CEO, of the company
says, "In order to increase community
building and greater visibility among the student
community, Studentsguild has tied up with vSplash.com
to provide users with free access to building
their own flash web-site"
Called 'Flash Zone', this particular area
on the site is accessible to a user after one
logs on to the site and collects 1500 points.
The student is then allowed to make their own
website using flash. With the help of Flash Zone,
a user can, in five steps, and 15 minutes flat,
have a space of his / her own on the Internet!
No longer does one need to navigate through a
labyrinth of technicalities or pay through the
nose for the services of a designer. With this,
one can be his own boss, let his imagination go
wild and unleash the true potential of his creativity.
Students guild helps build one's own website with
Vsplash.com, the world's first browser
based multimedia website creation tool.
What was once the exclusive turf of programmers
and designers, this tie-up between Students guild
and vSplash has provided an opportunity for users
to unleash their creativity. So far online free
website developers have been providing net users
merely with web space. Students guild enhances
the netizen with a different experience altogether.
It offers a Mercedes without actually paying
for it.
Another amazing thing about the site is that it
has created an online education engine called
admin.sys. Primarily it is an education delivery
and testing system. The engine is deliberately
targeted at the educational institutions. According
to
Mr Gordon, most of the educational institutions
in and around the city they contacted either had
their own website or were planning to go online
in the near future.
The site has also tied up with Petersens Database.
This database helps a student who wishes to
apply to colleges in the United States. The Database
will help the student decide which college he
should apply to, where will he get the maximum
Scholarship, details of accommodation and other
useful information.
