SA StartUp SOCO_ED Seeks To Provide Adaptive EdTech Solutions
SA StartUp SOCO_ED Seeks To Provide Adaptive EdTech Solutions. SOCO_ED was born out of a well-established digital marketing agency that has developed and executed numerous software and content-focused marketing strategies for various local and international brands.
With this background, SOCO_TECH has identified a need for a localised, end-to-end edtech service provider which offers its customers a turn-key solution for the deployment of their online learning services. As a South African business, the company’s initial demographic market focus is Southern Africa, with prospects to grow into other international emerging markets through strategic partnerships in the not too distant future.
SOCO_ED is a custom-built platform that is a fully adaptive EdTech solution. It can be scaled to work for any team or organisation, no matter its size. It is also flexible enough to work for any industry, whether you are a school, college or corporate business. The platform does not only allow for remote learning but also comes with a host of features like user profiles, hosting of learning materials, online quizzes, reviews, live class sessions (built-in Zoom API), posting and sharing of articles, and much more.
The company is also thrilled to announce that it has been accepted into the Amazon Web Services (AWS) EdStart Programme! AWS EdStart is a programme that helps eligible startups, educational institutions, and non-profits access AWS resources and technology in order to develop cloud-native solutions. Through this programme, participants can get access to training courses, technical guidance and best practices in cloud computing. The history of the programme goes back to 2016 when it was established as an effort to bridge the gap between educational institutions and the world of cloud technology. Since then, AWS Edstart has grown rapidly and now provides support for thousands of organisations all over the world.
