Nigerians would experience immense technology disruption in the education and business sectors this year, as it’s expected to shape how students learn and businesses interact with their staff and partners, says Mrs. Terae Onyeje, the co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Wowbii Interactive.

Speaking at the Wowbii Interactive CEO EdTech Outlook for 2020 event held in Lagos, she said 2020 will witness continued technology disruption in the Enterprise space, and even more so in EdTech.

“In Nigeria, we are seeing a more aggressive push towards the emergence of a digital economy, which will lift the impetus for educational institutions, enterprises, policy formulators and decision makers to explore technologies that will transform learning.

“These initiatives will directly impact the EdTech sector and will see policy makers and the whole ecosystem of gatekeepers to knowledge radically refocusing a range of technologies to support learning and teaching,” Onyeje said.

While noting that previous years have witnessed the rising awareness, refocusing and deployment of EdTech solutions across public and private institutions, she said increased workplace mobility is also leading to the redesign of today’s enterprise workspaces.

She added: “To give Africa her pride of place at the forefront of learning technology, Wowbii is enabling Educators and Learners leapfrog to the fore of global learning best practice. We are delivering an explosive combination of lifelong learning by layering interactive learning applications and curricula using the native tool of the youth (tap n swipe hardware).

“Our front-of-classroom devices and all-in-one desktops give educators creative options to manage learning areas; completing the robust interactive experience.

“Today, we are proudly motivating learners to deliver improved outcomes; empowering educators with immersive experiences that make them love teaching again and enabling institutions transform the education ecosystem.

“To effectively deliver 21st Century learning, the interactive learning experience we offer must reach the schools in the lower income bracket, where about 80 percent of the Nigeria’s learners are.

“We are therefore really excited about our new solution that brings affordable interactivity to the classroom – reinforcing our success in offering open, futuristic technology that connects legacy learning technologies. We plan to announce the new addition to our stable of solutions this quarter.”

She further explained that, “in the Enterprise, we are transforming business workspaces to 21st Century environments; creating immersive engagements by seamlessly connecting our technology to legacy Unified Communications systems.

“Easy-to-use technology that delivers phenomenal collaboration and communication options for the modern business are some of the reasons why large enterprise businesses prefer the Wowbii experience.”

She cited examples of organisations using its Wowbii learning and enterprise solution technologies to include MTN Nigeria, Charles Dales School, Port Harcourt and Greensprings School, Lagos, among others.

It will be recalled that Wowbii Interactive is Africa’s first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of interactive flat panels (IFPD). With a mission to ‘transform the way Africa works and learns,’ Wowbii delivers application bundles on their IFPDs in enterprise and education to achieve end-to-end 21st century communications solutions, the EdTech firm said.
