Case Study: Learnpedia achieves distraction-free, secure tablet learning with 42Gears SureLock

Learnpedia makes preparation for professional entrance exams fun with interactive digital content and 42Gears products

Learnpedia, an edu‑tech company from Hyderabad that offers the JEE-Study Mate platform (750 offline sessions delivered on DVDs and tablets) to prepare students for IIT‑JEE, faced widespread misuse of its tablets—students downloading apps, browsing the web, playing games, and risking malware and high data usage. To ensure tablets were used only for learning materials and supportive educational apps, Learnpedia selected vendor 42Gears and its SureLock device lockdown product.

42Gears deployed SureLock across Learnpedia’s Android and Windows tablets, using password‑protected settings and advanced lockdown controls (disabling Safe Mode, USB access, and app installs) to restrict devices to authorized content. The 42Gears solution secured the tablets, stopped misuse, and increased students’ focus on course materials; Learnpedia reports students are now limited to approved apps and praised 42Gears for SureLock’s ease of use and strong support.
