Snapplify expands into Australian education market
Global edtech company Snapplify will launch free e-library technology, educational resources and time-saving teaching tools in Australia.
The firm has also expanded across Africa and the UK, where Snapplify has offices.
Research suggests that Australian teachers' work has not only intensified in recent years, but that they have higher workloads and fewer resources than their global counterparts.
"Our edtech solutions have been built to address challenges faced by educational institutions — meaning that we have focused on increasing access to top-quality content and resources; ensuring that educational materials can be accessed offline; empowering schools with integrated literacy intervention tools; and perhaps most importantly, saving teachers time so that they can do what they do best: teach,” said Snapplify CEO Wesley Lynch.
"Snapplify's technology is widely applicable and already being used by thousands of educational institutions (primary to tertiary) across 25+ countries."
With increased access to content and teaching resources, over 100,000 teachers are using Snapplify's solutions to promote reading, build 21st-century skills and save time.
Snapplify's edtech solutions allow educators and institutions to:
- buy and sell teacher-created resources via Snapplify's Teacha! resource marketplace for teachers and parents;
- run a free digital library alongside integrated, science-backed literacy and reading-skill development programs;
- ensure student access on- and off-campus, and enable students to read and learn offline, on any device;
- increase accessibility of learning materials with accessibility features, including text-to-speech, large-print and dyslexia fonts;
- utilise analytics to spot gaps and inform teaching strategies;
- centralise user management with single sign-on solutions, while supporting the institution's existing active directory systems through identity management;
- make e-learning adoption easier by integrating with their favourite tools: from Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams, to Moodle, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Blackboard and hundreds more LMSes.
