Opon Imo- "Tablet of Knowledge" Launched By Osun Today

 

Today in Osogbo, Osun State, the state government launched ‘Opon Imo’ – the Tablet of Knowledge – “a standalone e-learning tablet that provides senior secondary students with the learning materials required to prepare for school-leaving examinations.”

Each tablet (it resembles an iPad) is pre-loaded with more than 50 textbooks, a set of tutorial questions, past questions, and education-based games. (For those interested in learning more there’s a Frequently Asked

Questions page on the website – www.oponimo.com – which tries to address a lot of the queries that might arise from the public).

The state government says it has a plan to distribute 150,000 of these devices. The government says the project is “expected to radically democratise access to learning, regardless of means, location or status.”
