In the 10th episode of EdTech Founders from EdTech Garage we interview Robin Guerit, the co-founder and Chief Experience Officer of Flowchase, based in Belgium. The company is helping English learners speak confidently through blended-learning tools for pronunciation instruction. They are working with both higher education institutions and corporations.
We talk about: What's missing in language learning, how to best support teachers, the sales cycle with higher education institutions, finding partners to create content, having a truly user centered approach, collecting data to improve the experience and more.
Outtakes from the conversation:
"The teacher can't really give personalized feedback to their students, because they are too many in class. And they have limited time. But, also they don't have the same problems so they need really personalized and individual feedback to get better."
"So the competitors are usually working on speech recognition technology, so they have activities where users can read one word or one sentence, and they give one percentage…we saw that it was not that pedagogical to have that approach, because you can't give enough information or tips to students to be better."
"We really created a service for teachers. So when they start with us they have a workshop so they can understand everything in the project to introduce the tool to their students. They have everything ready in their toolbox…they usually use Flowchase as a flipped classroom approach."
