Scoolio launches learning platform for homeschooling

To take the pressure off state learning platforms, the Dresden-based start-up Scoolio has now launched its own.

Scoolio has programmed its own homeschooling platform. Teachers and pupils can use it to exchange information, send files back and forth and write tests. "Students, parents and teachers are extremely frustrated," says founder and CEO Danny Roller to Founderella. "Very often we get feedback from our users that the technical infrastructure of their schools is catastrophic and has hardly improved since the first lockdown." In December and January, there were also increasing reports that the Saxon learning platform Lernsax was apparently the victim of cyber attacks. As a result, the official platform of the Ministry of Education was temporarily unavailable.

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

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