The country’s education sector is set to
receive a boost with the introduction of the 2016 version of Cinfores
BrainFriend, known as BrainFriend Platinum, an e-learning and exam
preparatory software.
The company said that software would
not only set the stage to revolutionise the ailing education sector in
e-learning, but was in line with meeting the Sustainable Development
Goals of giving access to and enhancing qualitative education.
The Managing Director and Co-Founder of
Cinfores Limited, Mr. Ibifuro Asawo, said that Cinfores had championed
change in the education sector through its products and services in
e-learning, schools/campus administration, scholarships management,
among others.
“Consequently, its various
stakeholders’ engagements with students, teachers, school
administrators, at both the federal and state levels as regards
BrainFriend, has been reassuring and impressive,” he said.
“This is so because the software has
the capacity to provide enhanced education and give access to education
to both disadvantaged and underserved children of school age, across
board,” Asawo said.
He added that as a proven tool for
enhanced academic success, Cinfores had already sold over 500,000
licences of the software in both public and private schools, as well as
homes, and with a few state and national project deployments.”
“Over seven Original Equipment
Manufacturers have signed up to bundle it along with their devices, in
addition to the existing list of OEMs that have been bundling the older
version of the software,” he said.
Asawo said that the 2016 BrainFriend
Platinum, which was billed to commence shipping soon, had many features,
including over 70,000 questions/answers/explanations based on the
national curriculum.
“It also has 59 subjects, including the
three major Nigerian languages, and five vocational subjects. It also
carries the new national curriculum for schools in Nigeria, e-books to
guide students and teachers, video lessons and animations on themes and
topics in various subjects, educational games, career guide for students
and teachers, and aptitude test items, among others,” he said.
Asawo said that BrainFriend Platinum was
a deviation from the traditional teaching methods, but designed to
complement the traditional teaching and learning processes.
“It is an enhancement on the previous
versions of BrainFriend as the videos, animations, documentary drama and
educational games are all new features that take teaching and learning
to a whole new level.
“These features were designed to reinforce teaching while making learning more fun and simpler,” he said.
He stated that both corps members and
graduates without education background could effectively deliver quality
lessons to pupils and students of different learning levels using the
software.
Asawo said that the 2016 BrainFriend
Platinum could also be used to bridge the gap for children in Internally
Displaced Persons’ Centres or refugee camps who had been cut off from
the structural school setting due to the causes for their displacements.
