There has been enormous interest and investment in the potential of educational technology to improve the quality of teaching and learning in Nigeria, especially during the heated period of the global pandemic.
A lot of Nigerian schools have become more digital than they’ve ever been, and the Edtech market has seen a great surge in revenue over the past couple of months. The more the market grows, the more stiff competition becomes for some of these Elearning companies.
This article highlights two very significant Elearning companies amongst others that have made favourable impressions on their users.
Gradely
Gradely is an online learning company with a learning solution that aims to make every student a successful learner. Developed in 2019, Gradely has since been providing valuable elearning tools and contents that can support the learning process of every student.
This online learning platform thrives with the usage of artificial intelligence which provides real-time data and feedback on students learning progress allowing parents and schools to notice each student/child’s learning gap and fill those gaps in more efficient ways.
Gradely eliminates the barrier that prevents schools from delivering quality education to students.
Benefits of this Platform
Accessibility
This is by far the greatest benefit that Gradely offers to students. It doesn’t matter the part of Nigeria the students are, they will be able to connect with their teachers as long as they have internet connection.
Artificial intelligence
Gradely uses AI to monitor strengths and weakness of every student. The result of this determines the type of tutoring, and questions that will be recommended for the child. Students will be able to learn at their own pace, unlike the traditional method of teaching. No child will be left lacking in any way.
Parental engagement
With the way Gradely works, parents will be able to monitor their children’ learning progress, unlike conventional way where they have to wait till the end of the term. If their children are performing poorly in a particular subject, they will be able to get help as quick as possible.
Comfort
This is also another huge benefit for everyone who subscribes to this platform. Students and teachers will be able to connect from the comfort of their home. The environment that teaching takes place has a lot to do with how fast the students will understand what is being taught. Since the home is the safest place for the child, they will be able to assimilate new knowledge faster.
Feedback
With Gradely , students can take regular tests to assess their performances. Their teachers and parents are able to track their performances and find out their academic progress in real-time.
On-live tutoring
Gradely makes it possible for students to get connected with tutors that take them on a subject. Based on the children’s weaknesses and strengths, they are connected with professional tutors.
Google Classroom
Google classroom is another online classroom hub where teachers and learners connect at any time and from anywhere. It is a learning management system that makes teaching paperless and very effective. Unlike other sites where students get corporate training, Google classroom is mainly for academics.
With this platform, students and teachers can share documents, and assignments when necessary. There is also a room for assessment and constructive feedback. Furthermore, it has lots of resources that can equip students with the right technological skills. Some of the benefits that students enjoy with Google classroom are as follows:
Sharing
One great benefit of Google classroom is Google docs. Documents shared among students and teachers can be saved online and accessed at any time. It also helps to organize and personalize documents in Google Drive folders. It means that teachers can communicate easily with students.
Inclusive
Google Classroom is for students as well as teachers. This means that teachers can join and hold their meetings and share information without having to step their feet in physical class rooms.
Accessibility
Google Classroom is easy to use and can be accessed via mobile phones, computers, and tablets. Teachers can add as many students as they want, and can also post videos, attach files and much more.
Engagement
Technology is one of the best ways to get full engagement from students. Google Classroom makes it easy for teachers to engage students and catch their attention. A teacher can start a conversation with a student and have others joined in the conversation too. They can share ideas, ask questions and answer.
Gradely vs. Google Classroom
Even though it seems that Gradely and Google classroom are both online learning websites, they are different in a few ways. According to the CEO of Gradely, the major problem that Gradely wants to solve is the absence of contents. Online learning platforms like Google classroom only have to connect learners with educators. There are only but limited content available for teachers on the websites that can facilitate their teaching. However, with Gradely teachers can choose from thousands of contents that aid teaching.
Gradely has already curated question pool for teachers, making it easy to set homeworks, exams, quizzes, etc. This tool makes Gradely one of the best online learning websites available for schools.
