Why we started Acadux:
Nigeria, like most other developing countries, has a deficient education system. The world keeps evolving at a fast rate but her education grows slowly. The students live in a digital world, but they study in classrooms with obsolete resources. As a result, they become disconnected from the classrooms and learning becomes boring. This is evident in the poor academic outputs.
According to UNESCO, 58.3% of pupils in Nigerian classrooms are not learning, and only about 10% of them make it to the tertiary level.
Similarly, several educational technology interventions yield very little results, or in most cases, are out-rightly abandoned. This is mainly because they do not align with the curriculum and they are always difficult for teachers to use in classrooms. Teachers also do not have opportunity for continuous professional development.
In short, students and teachers are subjected to classrooms that do not match up with the digital age, and most schools that use learning technologies do not get visible/measurable impacts from them.
Acadux to the rescue:
Acadux uses advanced technologies for enhanced teaching (improved content delivery and professional development) and smart learning (curriculum-aligned contents for immersive learning). It relies mainly on Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet of Things.
Teachers can push the digital materials for each class to the students, and they can check them anytime anywhere (available offline too). It also overlays interactive digital contents (such as simulations, videos, animations, etc) on several learning materials and objects in the school premises. It simply redefines the way students see their classrooms as everything suddenly becomes interactive. From the reception, to classrooms, laboratories, and even the corridors; everywhere becomes digitized learning spots for students, teachers, and even visitors.
Also, the teachers have 24/7 access to offline courses on pedagogy, technology, and other relevant courses. Similarly, they have access to materials clearly mapped to each class lesson. We use quality open educational resources and we also partner with local content providers.
Acadux changing the world:
Acadux is set to empower the schools by using easy-to-use advanced technologies with direct educational impacts. With it, every school simply gets smart without breaking bank.
