What specific problem are you solving?
eLearning and AI have transformed the way we learn. However, according to the United Nations, there are more than 2.6 billion people worldwide without access to the Internet. Furthermore, UNICEF reports that two-thirds of the world’s school-age children—or 1.3 billion youth aged 3 to 17—do not have internet connection at home.
Even in “developed” countries like the US, this issue is still prevalent. FCC data shows that 19M Americans—and nearly 1/4 of the population in rural areas—lack access to fixed broadband service.
The digital divide is complicated to solve. The cost of broadband is out of reach for many families. High-speed internet lines are scarce in rural areas. The need for a computing device in addition to the internet for digital learning makes the situation worse. Emergency situations and geopolitical conflicts that affect internet access are frequent.
Additionally, there is a lack of learner engagement and outcome-oriented training content.
There is an undeniable need for an affordable, accessible, engaging, and scalable solution that addresses the concerns that are a daily reality for half of the world’s population. Such a solution can have a long-lasting impact on education and training so that no one is left behind.
