Something to ogle at
OGLE is a touch-screen content kiosk where learners and teachers can access and download education and edutainment rich content for free.

Stanley Edwards, director of Platypus Digital, is passionate about content. Having spent the last 26 years in content production, Edwards has watched the internet increasingly shape the industry. From the trivialities of the Harlem Shake to the highly successful educational videos from Khan Academy, the potential for packaging and distributing this content is immense. This, plus Edwards’ desire to address the education crisis currently facing South Africa, saw the creation of the OGLE Education Kiosk.
“We can’t seem to get basic education content to learners through traditional methods such as delivering textbooks,” notes Edwards. And why should learners sit without books while an abundance of educational resources remain freely available online?
