“Allversity is offering the people of Nigeria the opportunity to learn for free from a laptop, computer or smartphone device. Smartphone usage in Africa is expected to reach 40% by 2017.
“All it will take to start an education revolution is the accessibility of good content — and Allversity aims to enable emerging economies to create and innovate solutions with the rest of the world, ” the organization stated.
It noted that Nigeria is following the trend in e-learning which is on the rise in the country.
“E-learning Nigeria provides online testing and education materials for learners at university level, which has proved invaluable for distance learners and those without the time to go back to university or college.
“But there is an accessibility gap for users in low-resource areas in connecting with practical learning materials designed to help them meet the unique challenges they face. This leaves a large part of the population uncatered for by the e-learning sector — namely the majority of Nigerians who do not go to university, but would like to continue their education beyond the primary school level.”
