Innovative educational technology changing the game for African students

In an ever-evolving world of teaching and learning, technology is becoming increasingly central to the educational experience. One company at the forefront of this shift is Chronicles Software Development Company Limited, the brains behind the groundbreaking SuccessTAB educational device. This innovative tool is set to revolutionise the learning process for students in Africa.

Co-founder and CEO of Chronicles Software Development Company Limited, Oluwakoyejo Oluwatosin, shared his passion for bridging the learning gaps in Africa, stating: “Our drive is to ensure every child/ student gets a learning tablet. We pioneered the device because of the need to impact learners with an innovative and engaging way to learn interactively.”

SuccessTAB is not just a product of innovation, but also of personal experience. Oluwatosin explained: “SuccessTAB innovation was borne out of my own story. I struggled in secondary school and when I came out of school, I had to start using resources to learn on my own before I could get into the university. My self-efforts made me an A-STAR student with distinction 4.76 and I went on to bag a 4.0 in Computer Science.”

The SuccessTAB educational device comes fully equipped with a wide array of features designed to enhance the learning experience. Oluwatosin highlighted: “The digital learning device is embedded with educational resources covering over 40 subjects from JSS 1 – SS3. It also preloads CBT software with 20 years of WAEC Question Bank; 15 years of JAMB Question; 10 Years of BECE Question Bank; IGCSE Digital Library; and IGCSE Question Bank.”

Furthermore, SuccessTAB has garnered recognition and accolades for its significant impact on education. Oluwatosin proudly shared: “Lagos State gave us the Platinum Award. That is the highest award for innovation in learning engagement in Lagos State. We got that in 2022 based on all our functional inputs to advance teaching and learning.”

The SuccessTAB’s powerful parental control feature ensures a safe and focused learning environment. Oluwatosin emphasised: “The parental control feature monitors and restricts what the learners or the students do on the tablet. We also have a special-purpose browser that enables and ensures that the students cannot browse unauthorised or unadvertised content.”
