There are, however, certain fields that seem to require that transformative touch more than others – education is a good example.
There are numerous aspects of this sector that can potentially benefit from automated services and a distributed delivery of services through the power of the internet, something that explains the proliferation of various types of ed-tech startups.
One such startup, Mustard Seed, recently exhibited its platform at the e-tech Expo. According to Samson Chauruka and Kuda Mafutah, the two members of the Mustard Seed team that were at the expo, their system has been designed to offer more than just e-learning.
Mustard Seed is a performance management platform for schools and learning instritutions designed as a school Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform with external access provided to specified stakeholders.
It allows schools to monitor every student and keep track of their performance in academic and non acdemic activities, while providing a solution for human resource monitoring and participation. Depending on the extend of enagement of the systems, these features can be extended to district, provincial and national monitoring.
