Welcome to Castle Rock Research India.

SOLARO is a system that provides an unparalleled level of assistance to students: Student-Oriented Learning, Assessment and Remediation Online. SOLARO supports the high-quality education students receive through their daily schooling with resources that can be used effectively and efficiently by students at home.

Castle Rock has several other products such as CAA (a high-tech product for testing) and Integrity (Test result analysis engine) that can be provided to schools and universities as an add-on.

The most ambitious advancement in education that the company has taken on to date is SOLARO, an acronym for Student Oriented Learning Assessment and Reporting Online. SOLARO is a K-12 learning resource for Math, Science, and English Language Arts that is accessible online, on mobile devices, and in print form. SOLARO provides relevant curriculum-aligned educational content consisting of lessons, activities, practice exercises, quizzes, and detailed solutions. Content, in the form of text, graphics, or multimedia (including audio, video, and animation), is available 24 hours a day in a well-organized, searchable, and highly engaging system.

Students can use SOLARO to study, complete assigned homework, create notes and flashcards, take tests that gauge their performance, participate in discussions on relevant topics, set educational goals, view progress reports, and earn rewards through a built-in incentive program. SOLARO provides a safe, secure, and guided online environment for students as they study course content, work on exercises, and take self-assessments.

The teacher functionality in SOLARO allows instructors to select and review content across various course topics which can then be assembled into homework or classroom activities for students. These assignments may be provided to students in digital form or may be printed off if computer access is not readily available. Immediate scoring and reporting enables teachers to track performance and helps them to determine where further instruction or remediation may be needed at the individual or class level.

A teacher may use the classroom response capabilities of the SOLARO RESPOND application to enhance student engagement by widening class participation. Handheld mobile devices can be configured to transmit responses to questions that the teacher generates. Each student's response can be monitored by the teacher, allowing them to give immediate in-class feedback to every student.

The SOLARO parent interface provides detailed reporting functionality for each child's account. These easy to read reports show the activities that have been completed, explain their child's progress, demonstrate the level of achievement on tests and assignments, and indicate deficiencies which may need to be addressed. When internet connection is not available, reports may be output in print format for parents.
