The EdTech landscape is rich with innovation, and that’s exciting news for education. With so many options available, schools have more opportunities than ever to find tools that truly fit their needs. At Obelus, we’ve developed a thoughtful 5-question framework that guides our partnership decisions and helps us identify solutions that create meaningful, measurable impact in classrooms 🎯
Why a Framework Matters
Choosing the right educational technology is a significant decision. Schools invest time, resources, and trust into these tools, and every learning community deserves solutions that genuinely support their goals. Our framework helps us focus on what matters most: real outcomes for students and educators.
The 5 Questions We Ask
We value platforms that can demonstrate their impact through validated studies and measurable results.
- BOOKR Kids: Digital Library and Reading App, for example, has shown a 45% improvement in reading comprehension through European university research.
- Matific: Gamified Math App delivered an 18% average improvement across curriculum areas during Ghana’s nationwide pilot with over 33,000 students. When evidence supports the promise, everyone benefits.
Seamless integration into existing educational frameworks makes adoption smoother for teachers and students alike. We prioritize solutions aligned with international benchmarks like CEFR, PISA, and national curricula across the MENA region.
- Twin Science & Robotics: STEAM for Sustainability App aligns with NGSS, UK, and IB standards while connecting learning to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Great technology supports educators rather than adding to their workload. We look for platforms with intuitive dashboards, real-time progress tracking, and meaningful data that helps teachers personalize instruction.
- BounceTogether: Standardized Psychometric Assessment for Wellbeing offers instant reporting that helps identify students who may need additional support early on.
Academic growth flourishes when paired with emotional and social development. We appreciate solutions that recognize learners as complete individuals.
- Amazing People Schools: Character Strength–Based Approach builds resilience and emotional intelligence through inspiring role models, nurturing the character strengths that research connects to higher life satisfaction and stronger outcomes.
The MENA region encompasses wonderfully diverse educational environments. We seek platforms that work across devices, support multiple languages including Arabic, and function both online and offline. Accessibility ensures that quality education reaches every learner.
Partnerships Built on Shared Values
This framework reflects how we think about educational impact at Obelus. When we partner with an EdTech provider, it’s because we’ve seen their commitment to the same outcomes we care about: empowered teachers, engaged students, and thriving school communities.
Education is a collaborative journey. By being intentional about the tools we bring to our partners, we hope to contribute to learning environments where every child has the opportunity to succeed 🌱
