A partnership that looks to accelerate the development of digital education in Ethiopia was signed last week between a local edtech company Learning Loop and the Ministry of Innovation & Technology (MInT). After over a year of creating educational content on YouTube and gaining over 160K subscribers, Learning Loop has recently expanded with a new, adaptable platform.
Their app, GlobeDock Academy, offers an interactive space where teachers, parents, and students collaborate, attracting 50,000 users since August. The platform supports students with lecture videos, notes, ongoing quizzes, and a performance-tracking dashboard.
Blen Binyam, Commercial Manager at Loop Learning, hopes to see the company contribute to improving education standards across the country. She recalled how the YouTube videos gained quick traction despite being limited to tools on the video-sharing platform.
“Education has been neglected in technological growth,” Blen told Shega.
The manager points to the importance of having an intuitive interface that allows seamless tracking of a student’s strengths and weaknesses to help provide constructive feedback.
Users can access the platform by downloading it from the Google Play Store or the App Store. While it provides free tutorials, the complete packet of services becomes available through monthly subscriptions priced at 200 birr.
