EDINTEREST APP-PERSONALIZED LEARNING

Provide a one-line summary of your solution.

EdInterest is an educational app that aims to address the issue of unequal educational strategiess. Focusing on the lack of educational methodologies and strategies, EdInterest emphasizes personalized learning.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

Lack of equal education strategies is the issue that we are attempting to address. Because of the style or manner in which it is taught, a sizable portion of students do not comprehend teaching. Learning disabled (LD) students can find it difficult to understand academic material or fundamental skills. These challenges, which may impair a student's capacity to read, write, spell, think, speak, listen, or perform mathematics, will result in an inability to acquire specialized skills, such as cognitive abilities, socialization, and fact memorization, which are essential for one's own development as well as the development of society and the global economy. Students won't be able to complete these objectives if individualized learning is not prioritized.

What is your solution?

EdInterest is an educational app that is focused on solving the problem of lack of equal education strategies. Since every child learns at a different pace and using different methods of instruction, EdInterest stresses individualized learning and places a focus on the dearth of educational approaches and strategies because every child learns at a different rate and with a variety of instructional methods. Our app encourages kids to employ routine activities to develop their weak areas, which supports each child's internal learning system.

HOW IT FUNCTIONS

A survey to determine the child's interests and talents. The categories for each group will be based on their strengths and limitations, interactive content, news, events, and study groups. With EdInterest, we aim to make learning fun and acceptable for all students while also diversifying each child's learning environment and providing a productive working place for students.

PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES

For creating and designing EdInterest app, we used thunkable.

Who does your solution serve? In what ways will the solution impact their lives?

EdInterest makes students intrinsically motivated to learn. They can choose their own path out of options, and allowing them to progress along their unique learning path through the course content based on their knowledge, skills and learning needs, EdInterest will personalized learning to fit the needs of the students and cultivate methods through practices of everyday activities, to help them improve their weaknesses, and to also provide a productive working environment for students, making it engaging and appropriate for all students. Our target audience is students, and we aim to meaningfully affect the 220 million tertiary students worldwide. On EdInterest, students with weak backgrounds, low self-esteem, and lack of fundamental necessities can develop their learning performance. The learner's personal experience, knowledge and habits are connected with learning methods, so that they can improve their learning performance. We are not attempting to integrate personalized learning into the educational system; rather, we are attempting to use it to benefit students. Consequently, the more time students spend engaging in personalized learning, the greater their accomplishment growth.

How are you and your team well-positioned to deliver this solution?

My team and I conducted surveys, visited both public and private schools, and spoke with students about personalized learning and other topics. We are a group of four girls from different ethnic backgrounds who came up with the idea to address the issue of the lack of equal educational strategies. We also experienced this issue in our various communities, so we decided to address the issue and developed a solution that we are proud to present. Using our knowledge, we were able to comprehend and represent the people we serve.

What steps have you taken to understand the needs of the population you want to serve?

We interviewed students from both public and private schools and held meetings with them. Since we are also affected by the issue we are trying to solve, we volunteered to work with the Nigerian Ministry of Education, and we presently have one partner for education.
