People normally pay for value, and value can be offered by anyone. Therefore, postponement of a skill or ability of a learner to a later date could only mean postponement of their potential earnings.
Since the inception of CBE, learning has totally changed in our institutions. Gone are the days where learners took part in a knowledge based academic pipeline, which encouraged mastery of content. Mastery of performance and learner centered approaches seem to be the way to go, as we have seen a lot of innovation on many things by students.
Now, when people do or create something valuable, they should be able to display it to the world and get the feedback either directly or simply by peeking onto the works of others and seeing what to improve upon. This platform is what Mara is offering to both the learners and schools.
Mara is an ecommerce platform that allows learners to be able to post their creations and sell them to the world. Once a school creates an account on Mara, they are able to add their learners, and even enlist their own products, or products for their individual learner accounts. Learners can even enlist digital creations like music, e-books, poetry, apps etc. on top of the handcrafted goods.
We aim at encouraging more learners to build and innovate endlessly, and increase their entrepreneurship skills while getting real money in return. A learner can simply get paid for doing the things they do in their leisure. This will increase good habits for them from a young age, which will surely pay off as they grow older.
We encourage schools to enlist themselves on Mara, and give their learners the opportunity to get returns from their work, as well as getting some money for their schools from the activities that they dedicate their resources to. Get started today on Mara by SDVEN.
