Randolf Owusu, the creator of Africa’s newest operating system launched late last month, has plans to establish an online school to tutor up-and-coming developers.
After launching his Anansi operating system, he says, his next challenge is to educate developers across the world.
“I have a project coming up later this year. It is an educative platform that would bring students, scholars, lecturers and everyone who seeks education or information together,” he told HumanIPO.
“It will also allow the sharing of educational resources to help less privileged students around the world to also have access to world class educational resources,” he said.
This has been his plans since HumanIPO interviewed the 22-year-old university student earlier this year.
In March, Owusu hinted to HumanIPO that his Anansi operating system would have 6,000 educational materials embedded.
The young developer also started a YouTube channel that has video tutorials for developers. He hosts topics such as HTML introduction tutorial and Java tutorial. He in addition has an account on GitHub where developers can follow and collaborate.
Apart from these, he hopes to launch a dedicated platform for learning.
“This platform will make learning fun and interesting. Students around the world can now form online study groups, with field relative students from different educational institutions around the world,” Owusu said.
More organisations in Africa are adopting the Internet technology to disseminate knowledge. Association of Chartered Certified Accountants announced this week they will be embracing the online route to offer learning to employees.
