Scoolio launches learning platform for homeschooling

In order to relieve state learning platforms, the Dresden-based start-up Scoolio has now directly launched its own.

Scoolio has programmed its own homeschooling platform. There, teachers and students can exchange ideas, send files back and forth, and write tests. "Students, parents and teachers are highly frustrated," founder and CEO Danny Roller tells Founderella

. "Very often we get feedback from our users that their schools' tech infrastructure is disastrous and has barely improved since the initial lockdown." In December and January, there were also increased reports that Saxony's learning platform Lernsax was apparently the victim of cyberattacks. Because of this, the official platform of the Ministry of Culture was at times not usable at all.

Scoolio's learning platform is supposed to be free of charge. Schools have to register via schulen.scoolio.de. This means that the start-up now offers a web-based platform in addition to the previous organisation app for pupils. The two can be linked together.

Just in December, Scoolio closed its third round of funding and received one million euros. The start-up's investors are RBB Management, SIB Innovations- und Beteiligungsgesellschaft and Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen.
