Intel has launched its education app, the Intel Explore and Learn Marketplace, in Nigeria, designed to give free and low cost educational content access to people of all ages.
HumanIPO reported earlier this month Intel had launched the education app in Kenya for use by parents and children, with a previous launch also taking place in South Africa.
The solution provides interactive learning materials including, books, exam papers, videos and podcasts for students of all levels starting from elementary to more advanced stages.
“Intel Explore and Learn Marketplace solution seeks to provide a resource hub where learners can find relevant content to boost their studies while at the same time give content providers a platform to share information,” Cidgdem Ertem, the regional sales director for Middle East and Africa at Intel, said.
“We have seen how technology can drive clearly improved learning results and assist teachers by providing access to information and quality engaging content.”
Ertem said Intel is aware of the education systems’ challenges around the world and is working towards creating innovative and affordable solutions to curb these challenges.
Bunmi Ekundare, country manager at Intel West Africa, said: “At Intel we focus on the best ways to deploy the emerging technologies to ensure it is relevant to all stakeholders involved.
“This is why we have collaborated with Rancard, an African based organisation that provides cloud-based software for mobile content discovery and delivery to deploy this platform”
He said Intel will continue to seek out partnerships and collaborations with the government, education institutions and content creators to solidify it steps in digital education and access.
