Sterio.me To Launch In Nigerian Operations
Sterio.me, a Mobile learning Technology for Primary/Secondary Educators in Africa, is set to debut in Nigeria as Technology has increasingly changed the way we learn.
For Africa, specifically, Nigeria, with the rapid increase in the use of Mobile phones and the growth in Mobile Internet, technology enhanced learning will no doubt offer great opportunity for the nation.
One of such Technologies set to empower and improve learning for Primary and Secondary Schools in Africa is Sterio.me which is to be launched in Nigeria soon.
Sterio.me, the revolutionary educational technology founded on the StartupBus Africa by Christopher Pruijsen as the Chief Executive Officer, Dean Rotherham (Product) and Danielle Reid (Design), is now looking for partners in the quest to advance the Nigerian front.
According to Christopher Pruijsen, Sterio.me engages learners outside the classroom, to reinforce in-classroom learning.
“A ‘Sterio’ is an interactive audio lesson, which is per-recorded by the Educator and delivered via an sms-triggered inbound voice call to the learner, in order to reinforce in-classroom content.
It is such that every lesson contains 10 minutes of audio content and questions, and teachers receive instant feedback on learner performance, saving them hours each day on marking assignments.
“The Learning platform is completely free for both the Educators and the Learners, and the data collected will be shared freely with local and National Governments and ministries,” he said.
The team at Sterio.me has a proven track record of success, and co-founded StartupBus Africa, FounderBus UK, Shopbeat.co.za,Capsule.fm and now Sterio.me.
The team also is part of the prestigious World Economic Forum Global Shapers, Sandbox Network and Kairos Society communities, and has been invited to pitch as Grand Finalists at both the Harvard Africa Business Conference and Mobile World Congress competitions.
In Tanzania the company has secured Mr. Ezekiel Oluoch, the deputy Secretary General of the Tanzania Teacher Union, as well as Mr. Joseph Mmbando, retired former director of the Ministry of Education, as advisors.
The sterio.me team seeks partners from Nigeria to make this project a huge success for Nigerian pupils and students.
