Technology helps you on your learning journey, anywhere, anytime, TheStudentCampus co-founders say.

What elements have contributed to the increasing popularity of EdTech?

EdTech is playing a crucial role in the technology-driven future of education. In 21st century education, technology enhances learning, pedagogy and instruction and can be leveraged to promote greater cross-cultural engagement and understanding not just in a typical educational setting but also in an enterprise’s learning environment.

Educational entities and enterprises are ready to make the digital shift happen and we’re proud to be the EdTech players driving this change.

When was TheStudentCampus launched and with what aims?

TheStudentCampus was officially launched in 2013 at Collide Conference in Las Vegas. Following the success of our first two companies, TheStudentCampus co-founders brought together our passion for education, our combined decade of business experience and our team’s technical abilities to design and develop a powerful combination of learning management and virtual learning tools rolled up in one versatile, intuitive and dynamic learning solution.

What niche in the market is TheStudentCampus designed to address?

TheStudentCampus is the perfect learning solution for both academic and corporate clients. While in the academic model there is a particular focus on primary, secondary and tertiary years, the corporate model vastly incorporates enterprises in a variety of industries and businesses looking to engage and invest in their employees.

TheStudentCampus is for any school or business which is looking to take full advantage of technology to enhance learning experiences. It is renowned for its outstanding UI/UX and its stellar support which includes feature walkthroughs, in-app intelligent help backed by a content-rich help centre, and a world-class support team.

In what ways did you attract funding?

We were proud to confirm €1.25 million series A funding in less than three months. We were aware that due to the high risk in emerging ventures, venture capitalists can be very picky so we made sure that we pitched only when the solution was ready to impress. Our venture capitalists were looking for deep domain expertise, that is, a team made up of talented industry professionals who have in-depth knowledge of a key industry and management who have insight, drive and can take the brand to incredible new heights.

Businesses are increasingly acknowledging the importance of continuous learning. How does TheStudentCampus help businesses invest in the growth of their employees?

In order to stay competitive, companies need to be learning organisations, develop a culture of learning and invest in their future by empowering their employees.

Employee engagement is crucial. TheStudentCampus inspires business leaders to continue to develop their employees’ skills, show the importance of collaborative learning spaces, discuss the potential of empowering employees through learning, and assist in the development of effective learning strategies.

Thanks to our all-in-one hybrid learning solution, employees get to continue their learning journey, anywhere, anytime on any device they like, while management gets to keep a bird’s eye view of all that is happening regarding training and development within their organisation.

Particularly, TheStudentCampus’ reporting product is extremely popular with enterprises of all sizes as it gives assigned managers the opportunity to evaluate, monitor, track and understand the strengths, weaknesses and potential merits of each and every individual within their department or company. Anyone in the corporate world will find that TheStudentCampus is an outstanding technology which presents an endless list of tools and products which they can pick and choose from according to their objectives.

Can schools also benefit from your learning environment?

TheStudentCampus is taking learning to a new level and is inspiring enriching learning experiences all over the world.

Millennials expect technology in the classroom so schools need to be future ready and rethink learning spaces, optimise learning environments and prepare students for the real world.

Thanks to TheStudentCampus, educators can now design customised lesson courseware, plan and implement online tests and instil in students a joy for learning through gamified content while selected administration members may complete tasks such as the management of users, classes, schedules, events and communication through an intuitive user interface. The school management team can track student progress, evaluate learning experiences, foresee any future problems and reward students for their effort.

The list of opportunities is infinite. Above all, TheStudentCampus inspires and brings together educators, schools, policymakers and guardians, encouraging them to collaborate, motivate and mentor tomorrow’s leaders, today’s students.

What are your short- to mid-term plans?

Our 2016 world tour has taken us to all corners of the globe. We’ve been invited to participate in a number of prestigious international conferences and expos to present how technology has the power to enhance learning experiences. We’re in the final stages of finalising our first international resellers and while as anticipated, the international exposure and momentum for TheStudentCampus continues to increase rapidly, we’ve also carved out time to present our solution to the local academic and corporate arena and have secured a number of prestigious entities to the ever-growing list of brands.

The demand for innovation and rapid delivery means enterprises want agility, are looking to become more efficient and cut costs – this is what TheStudentCampus confidently delivers. E-learning is definitely the rising star and when integrated with the rest of our learning solution, will offer exciting new opportunities to content creators who will have the opportunity to take their entrepreneurial spirit to the next level and share knowledge-based on their own personal vision of what learning should be like, be it gamified content, recorded or live sessions. Thanks to our incredible team, e-learning is sure to turn heads in a big way and TheStudentCampus will continue to dominate the EdTech arena.
