E-DON Advances Digital Education With Indigenous QR Smart Board, 3D Technology
Kuni Tyessi in the Nigerian-led classroom revolution is underway as the College of Education (COE), Ikwo, Ebonyi State moves to adopt E-DON’s indigenous QR Interactive Smart Board and 3D Animation
In a landmark development in Nigeria's educational landscape, the College of Education (COE) in Ikwo, Ebonyi State, is set to adopt E-DON's indigenous QR Interactive Smart Board and 3D Animation and Simulation Software. This move signifies a significant shift from traditional chalk-and-talk teaching methods to technology-driven, interactive learning, tailored specifically for the Nigerian curriculum.
Prof. Benedict Chukwuma Edigbo Mbam, the Provost of the COE, revealed that the adoption of E-DON's technology is a major milestone in transforming Africa's educational sector. He highlighted that E-DON, a homegrown education technology innovator, is pioneering digital education in the country. The QR Interactive Smart Board replaces passive teaching with interactive learning experiences, making lessons more engaging and accessible.
This technology acts as a bridge between theory and practice, particularly in complex and abstract subjects like science, mathematics, geography, biology, and technical subjects. Through 3D visualization, animation, and simulation, these subjects become more comprehensible, exploratory, and memorable.
According to Prof. Mbam, this shift from traditional to digital learning tools is essential to prepare teachers for the 21st century. He emphasized that the goal is to equip lecturers, student-teachers, and ultimately students with digital competence to deliver engaging, relevant, and future-ready education.
Dr. Idonuagbe Akogun, the National Coordinator of E-DON's Electronic Education Initiative, echoed the importance of indigenous innovation. He stressed that Africa should not solely rely on imported technology to solve its education challenges. Through creativity, research, collaboration, and investment in local technology, Nigeria can develop globally competitive solutions that address its unique educational needs.
Akogun noted that the QR Interactive Smart Board and 3D Animation and Simulation Software were developed in Nigeria, specifically for Nigerian learners. He illustrated how these tools can transform learning from mere memorization to experiential understanding, such as visualizing the human heart beating in 3D or simulating the solar system.
E-DON remains dedicated to partnering with educational institutions across Nigeria and Africa to deliver technology-driven, practical, and inclusive learning experiences.
