Mobile Classroom is a groundbreaking Edtech mobile application that offers an affordable e-learning platform for Nigerian public university students.

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Mobile Classroom is a pioneering educational technology (Edtech) mobile application that aims to provide an affordable and accessible e-learning platform for Nigerian public university students. This innovative app offers a wide range of educational resources, including interactive lessons, study materials, quizzes, and forums for collaborative learning. With a user-friendly interface and tailored content, Mobile Classroom seeks to enhance the learning experience for students, addressing the specific challenges and needs within the Nigerian higher education system.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The Mobile Classroom is a mobile application which hopes to address the challenges in the Nigerian University educational system, particularly the recurring "ASSU strike." This strike, initiated by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, stems from disputes with the Nigerian government regarding staff salary payments, inadequate working conditions for lecturers, and substandard learning environments within the universities. The Mobile Classroom aims to reduce classroom congestion and provide monthly incentives for lecturers, mitigating the effects of ASSU strikes and enhancing the overall learning experience for students within the Nigerian public university system.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

Here are three advantages of using "The Mobile Classroom" ed-tech platform: 1. Minimizes the Impact of ASSU Strikes: The platform offers an alternative learning solution, ensuring academic progress during disruptions. 2. Reduces Classroom Congestion: Students can access lectures remotely, leading to a less congested physical classroom, improving education quality. 3. Provides Monthly Incentives for Lecturers: The platform offers monthly incentives for lecturers, addressing issues of insufficient compensation and poor working conditions.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adressera le produit/service de votre projet. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

Mobile Classroom hopes to serve students and Lecturers in Nigerian public universities, by decluttering the classroom through remote learning and giving incentives to the lecturers who often need to go through the horror of nonpayment of salaries for months.

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.01.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

Sometimes these Lecturers go months without receiving a penny from the Nigerian federal government or the Ministry of Education. By providing incentives to them, which also serves as an alternate stream of income, we are helping to keep them floating, pending when their salaries are paid.

10.06 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

As someone who is still studying Mass Communication in the university and has practical knowledge of Digital Journalism which some of my faculty Mates do not have, I bring my faculty Mates together (Males and Females) on Fridays to teach them Photography, Videography, Camera handling and Video Editing. I don't gender discriminate, I believe that as long as you have what it takes to work in a any environment or industry, you should go for it irrespective of your gender.
