Afrilearn Introduces AI-powered Personalisation

Afrilearn, the leading EdTech startup in Nigeria, is set to revolutionize the e-learning industry in Africa with its innovative approach to education. With the backing of the UNICEF Innovation Fund, Afrilearn is introducing a recommendation system to enable African students to find similar videos, courses, and lessons that align with their interests and learning style.

Afrilearn integrates a team of genius tutors, animators, and developers to provide affordable, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. The fast-growing product-led company offers curriculum-relevant video lessons, quizzes, class notes, and a personalized learning dashboard that empowers high school students to study at their own unique pace, in and outside the classroom, via web, app, and data-free Dongle subscription services.

Founded by Isaac Oladipupo and Gabriel Olatunji-Legend, Afrilearn aims to democratize access to quality education for every African child, regardless of background. According to the Head of Growth, Lamide Johnson, “Afrilearn’s e-learning platform offers a wide range of richly animated and curriculum-relevant video lessons, class notes, practice tests, live classes, and a personalized learning dashboard that allows high/secondary school students (Ages 6-18) to study at their own pace. With its cutting-edge technology, Afrilearn can deliver a personalized learning experience that is tailored to each student’s unique learning style and preferences.”

But what sets Afrilearn apart from other e-learning platforms is its use of advanced AI algorithms to create a recommendation system that suggests courses and lessons based on a student’s past behaviours. Using association rule learning, Afrilearn’s recommendation system identifies patterns in a student’s viewing history and suggests related content they may find interesting.

For example, if a student is watching a fraction video, Afrilearn’s recommendation system might suggest other videos on topics such as multiplication or division. This approach not only helps students discover new content they may have missed but it also creates a more engaging and personalized learning experience tailored to each student’s needs.

“At Afrilearn, we believe every African child deserves access to quality education, regardless of socioeconomic background. That’s why we’re leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to create a learning experience that is accessible, engaging, and effective. Our recommendation system is just one step towards achieving this goal, and we’re excited to see the impact it will have on the thousands of students who are already using our platform and those who will join us in the future.” Lamide Johnson adds.

Afrilearn has positively impacted the lives of over 460,000 students in West Africa. Afrilearn’s impressive track record of creating over 3000 animated video lessons, 5000 comprehensive class notes, and 50,000 interactive quizzes has revolutionized the education sector in the region.

Beyond its innovative approach to learning, Afrilearn has become a movement transforming the education landscape in Africa. With its unwavering commitment to improving learning outcomes, Afrilearn is poised to make a lasting impact on the lives of millions of African children.
