Victoria EdTech Summit: Meet the exhibitors - Quitch

Tell us about the company 

Quitch is a EdTech company based in Melbourne, Australia. Our platform is a content-neutral gamified mobile learning platform that challenges your students in a fun way! Educators curate and structure ‘quizzes’ and invite their students, via a free app on their mobile phones, to compete for prestige, points and badges. Quitch was built by an academic, Gráinne Oates, CEO and founder, that was facing challenges with her students to engage with the content. In today’s digital era the education sector is struggling to keep students engaged in learning and are lagging in technology innovation. Quitch provides real-time data on learner performance allowing for early intervention, is simple-to-set up and use, and can disseminate content in bite sized ‘chunks’. The students can learn anytime, anywhere and the educators have access to the personalised analytics with real-time feedback.
