Otta's take

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Accessing good quality STEM education is not possible for everyone and is the biggest obstacle in encouraging student uptake. Numerade is an edtech startup looking to directly address this shortfall, democratizing access to high-quality STEM education through online videos and interactive teaching.

While the concept of asynchronous tutorial videos has become common in the edtech realm, with giants like Udemy and Coursera adopting this approach, Numerade sets itself apart with its algorithmic video recommendation system. This innovative approach has the potential to reshape the landscape of online learning, provided Numerade successfully tailors video suggestions to individual user preferences, opening up new horizons in the field of video-based education.

A recent launch that has captured attention is Numerade's Study Group feature. This addition allows students to create and participate in virtual study rooms alongside their peers, fostering collaboration and shared learning experiences. This approach, encompassing curated video content and interactive Study Groups, demonstrates Numerade's dedication to bridging educational gaps and adapting to the evolving edtech landscape. As Numerade continues to pave the way for accessible STEM education, its trajectory remains on e to watch, potentially reshaping online learning paradigms for years to come.
