For many individuals, the word ‘mathematics’ is synonymous with fear and confusion—some just can’t find the formula to understand it. However, there’s a percentage of people who have allowed themselves to be captivated by the pure sciences. Julio Alberto Rios Gallego is among these math lovers: he discovered he could both easily understand mathematical concepts, and explain them to others as an eighth-grader. But, it wasn’t until 2009 that he began to grow an online community dedicated to mass education on the subject: a YouTube channel known as ‘Julioprofe’, with 835,000 subscribers.

Having worked for almost two decades in higher education, I’ve been involved in the implementation of many different IT systems. Invariably there are a multitude of different factors at play when choosing a new system; the needs and profile of the end user, the budget available, the time frame for completion, the in-house expertise and so on.

With industries, job functions, and markets changing so rapidly and technological innovation occurring faster than ever, learning and upskilling is a necessity for employees to remain competitive and for companies to retain their best staff. 

We naturally see the visual first, it’s critical for our design to be dynamic and engaging but still relate to the educational content.

In discussing this magical new tool called ‘the internet’ in 1996 Bill Gates asserted that those who will make money and be successful in the new arena, would do so on the back of content, rather than via hardware which enables it. He said that:
