uLesson Education Launches Revolutionary Classboard Device for Schools
uLesson Education, a leading edtech company in Nigeria, introduced the uLesson Classboard at its inaugural launch event in Jabi, Abuja, on Monday, March 4, 2024. This cutting-edge Classboard represents a significant stride in transforming the educational landscape in Nigeria, offering a dynamic platform to enhance the teaching and learning experience within classrooms.
Two other launch events were held in Yaba and Lekki in Lagos State on Tuesday, March 19, and Thursday, March 21, 2024, respectively. These pivotal launches brought together teachers, school owners and administrators, businesses, and industry leaders across Nigeria, who were among the first to explore the innovative features of the uLesson Classboard.
Classboard merges superior hardware and industry-leading academic content that enables primary and secondary school teachers to teach easily with engaging video lessons and learning resources. This 65-inch 4K display device is pre-loaded with an array of offline-accessible resources, including over 10,000 video lessons, more than 3000 quizzes and multiple visual aids
The launch events served as a platform to showcase how Classboard addresses the evolving needs of the education sector in Nigeria and beyond, emphasising the importance of efficiency and engagement in the teaching and learning process.
Furthermore, teachers, school owners, and industry leaders present at the launches expressed enthusiasm about the potential impact of Classboard on enhancing the overall educational experience.
uLesson K-12’s Chief Executive Officer, AyoOluwa Nihinlola, stated in the Lagos Mainland launch, “Unlike our learner-focused app, the uLesson Classboard was built differently with educators and teachers in mind. We’ve worked with several schools and educators to think about what we can truly do to support the work of teachers in the classroom; that is what is behind this product. We don’t want to take teachers out of the classroom; we want to support how they deliver better lessons and classes.”
In comparing the Classboard with other SMART boards, Iheanyi Akwitti, Senior Vice President, Academics and Curriculum at the uLesson Group, said, “The major difference between the uLesson Classboard and other SMART boards is that this is the first classroom technology device that was built by an education company. The product was built by teachers who are staff of uLesson and by feedback from schools.”
Mrs. Ayopeju Njideaka, CEO of Nurture House, emphasised educators possessing the right attitude, skills, and innovative mindset in addition to having the right tools to successfully drive educational outcomes.
She said, “I don’t call the uLesson Classboard a product; I call it a solution. In fact, it’s a bundle of solutions. But no matter how fantastic a bundle of solutions is, if the person who’s going to bridge the gap between the students and the bundle of solutions doesn’t have the right attitude and skills, among other things, then we haven’t really started.”
Attendees who made commitments for the Classboard had the opportunity to participate in a raffle for a chance to win an all-expense-paid trip to Rwanda or a brand new MacBook. At the Abuja launch, AJEC Schools Kaduna emerged as the lucky winner of the raffle. The Yaba launch raffle winner was Learn, Play, and Grow Learning Centre, while Holy Child College clinched the prize at the Lekki launch.
The successful Classboard launch events marked a significant step forward in uLesson’s commitment to empowering the education community with the best in-class media and technology and reinforcing their dedication to creating positive and collaborative learning environments worldwide.
