Interview Questions for Eveline Debora Nutuja, Founder and CEO of Kollabrix
Kollabrix: A Revolutionary Educational Tool
Meet Kollabrix, a game-changing platform that empowers university professors worldwide to create engaging and effective course materials. Founded by tech whiz Eveline Debora Nuță, this Norwegian startup is making waves in the educational sphere, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
In a conversation with us, Nuță shared the secrets behind Kollabrix's success and how this innovative platform can transform the way teachers teach and students learn.
Making Education Efficient and Effective
Kollabrix is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that universities buy for their professors. By accessing it via their university emails, professors can input essential information about their curriculum, including course details, collaborators, learning objectives, and parameters like lecture duration. Based on this information, Kollabrix generates a custom dashboard for each course, complete with templates that professors can use to organize and design their classes effectively.
The dashboard serves as a central repository for all data related to the course, such as readings, examples of exams, and course grades. Professors can use the software to create dynamic presentations, charts, and other visualizations using general templates and their uploaded content. They can also adapt general templates to create custom presentations, charts, and visualizations tailored to their unique course material.
Innovating Education in Developing Countries
The idea for Kollabrix was born out of Nuță's experiences in her home country, Romania, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. She observed a significant disconnect between low- and middle-income countries and more developed countries like the United States or Norway, where she resides, in terms of using new technologies and digital tools in the education sector.
Researching the problem further in Romania revealed that professors often lacked the tools and resources necessary to work efficiently, spending much more time than their Western counterparts on simple tasks like creating syllabi due to their lack of digital technology use. Nuță aiming to create a centralized platform that could leverage new technologies and AI to make teaching more efficient, data-driven, and ultimately, more engaging and enjoyable for both students and teachers.
Kollabrix: Unlocking the Power of AI
To make teachers more efficient, Kollabrix offers various AI features, such as generating images and creating course summaries faster and more efficiently. However, one key feature sets Kollabrix apart—the ability to gather student feedback for each class, providing educators with impact data throughout the semester to see what works well and what doesn't.
In many cases, teachers receive vague, infrequent feedback mostly at the end of the academic year, which is not particularly useful for improving teaching methods or curriculum. Kollabrix aims to change this by helping professors make data-driven decisions about what, when, and how to deliver to their students to achieve their objectives.
The Future of Education with Kollabrix
Nuță's vision for Kollabrix is to empower professors in low- and middle-income countries, allowing them to focus on what they do best—teaching—without the burden of doing mundane, tedious tasks. By providing tools that help them innovate, modernize, and digitalize their teaching methods, Kollabrix hopes to raise the quality of education for all, making it easier for passionate professors to deliver engaging learning experiences.
If Kollabrix integrates AI features like personalized learning paths, automated grading and feedback, content creation and curation, language support, and data analysis for insights, it could significantly enhance the teaching experience for educators in developing countries, addressing challenges such as limited resources and infrastructure. The future of education is here, and Kollabrix is at the forefront of revolutionizing the way teachers and students connect and learn.
