New LMS – Learn Dash at StudyChamps


New LMS – Learn Dash at StudyChamps


We at StudyChamps were looking for the right platform to expand our educational website and take it to the next level. I must mention that it was really a very time consuming and difficult task to evaluate various LMS platforms available until we came across LearnDash. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it covers most facilities we were looking for, and we started our journey towards embracing the new platform. Even before we purchased LearnDash, it was very evident that the team was very willing to support and prompt in resolving queries. We are now working on the LearnDash platform backstage now.

StudyChamps is an educational portal which provides free Math, English and Science resources for kids for more than 2 years now. With the increasing popularity and requests for specific content, facility to track progress of kids etc. made it imperative to upgrade the platform to a learning management system. We are quite excited with LearnDash and very soon we will roll out the subject courses for kids specific needs based on LearnDash. We thank all our followers, kids, their parents and teachers for their continued support. We also thank LearnDash team for the support and helping us with the right suggestions and guidance.

Plants Are Good At Math


Plants are good at math


According to scientific research plants do complex arithmetic calculations to make sure they have enough food to get them through the night.

According to scientists at Britain's John Innes Centre plants adjust their rate of starch consumption to prevent starvation during the night when they are unable to feed themselves with energy from the sun. They can even compensate for an unexpected early night.

During the night, mechanisms inside the leaf measure the size of the starch store and estimate the length of time until dawn. Information about time comes from an internal clock, similar to the human body clock. The capacity to perform arithmetic calculation is vital for plant growth and productivity.
