THE MAKING OF SKADEPT
A Boxtonium Group initiative, SKADEPT is an innovative Learning Management System that was designed to use intelligent technology as a means to improve/streamline academic and administrative methodology in schools.
Educators, the world over, emphasise the need to focus on student's mastery of skills to succeed in higher education and careers - this was primarily the driving force behind the creation of SKADEPT.
Having noticed the paucity of skill/proficiency-based learning in K-12 schools, we were determined to create a learning management product that addressed this very need. SKADEPT is a tool that enables institutions, teachers and learners to seamlessly integrate teaching and learning outcomes with skill/proficiency targets and relevant feedback.
Another aspect that demanded improvement is the considerable teacher-effort that goes into regular paperwork and recording. With SKADEPT, all these processes have been automated to enable the teacher to use her time more productively in researching and implementing modern teaching methodologies.
