Quizac, according to its developers, improves learners’ retention using artificial intelligence to ensure learners interact with topics they should learn and not those they perfectly know already, it also provides a platform for in-class and off-class competition and collaboration.
“At Quizac, we recognized the negative effects of the continuous drop in attention span as mobile phone becomes our new partner, this change has resulted in a detrimental effect on learning,” said Tade Samson, co-founder, Quizac.
To solve this problem, Quizac was built as a platform for learning that motivates rather than bore an individual, with an objective to be the 100 percent learning engagement platform.
