SYL Multimedia, a leading ICT innovator based in Ile-Ife, announces a strategic partnership with Poodll, a globally recognized provider of AI-powered language teaching tools. This collaboration introduces cost-effective language laboratories to Nigerian universities, blending SYL’s expertise in localized educational technology with Poodll’s advanced solutions integrated with Moodle, the world’s leading open-source learning management system.
SYL Multimedia, renowned for creating AI-powered BotBoards and enterprise data analytics platform DatumWare, focuses on solving real-world challenges for African indigenous communities through accessible technology. Poodll stands out as a groundbreaking tool to extend Moodle’s functionalities for language laboratory setups. As a certified Moodle plugin suite, Poodll adds AI-driven features like interactive audio and video recording, instant pronunciation feedback, automatic subtitling, and pre-built bilingual courses—enabling seamless speaking, reading, and assessment activities right within Moodle assignments, quizzes, or HTML editors. These capabilities transform standard Moodle environments into full-fledged language labs, supporting device-agnostic submissions, privacy-compliant storage, and efficient bilingual content delivery, all without needing separate hardware or software. Widely adopted by universities and language schools worldwide, Poodll addresses key limitations in traditional setups by providing universal playback, editable captions, and speech recognition tools that boost fluency and engagement.
This partnership delivers cloud-based labs featuring real-time assessments, multilingual support, and customizable learning paths, addressing barriers such as high implementation costs and limited infrastructure. “SYL Multimedia aims to make world-class language education accessible to every Nigerian student,” states Oluwatosin Bukun-Joseph , CEO of SYL Multimedia. The initiative targets universities in Osun and Lagos states for initial deployment, with SYL’s reliable hosting services ensuring zero downtime and 24/7 support. This effort supports Nigeria’s push for digital literacy and global competitiveness, offering educators tools for seamless assessments and students immersive learning experiences.
