Accessible AI iBook set to redefine Nigeria’s learning experience

A significant step toward modernising education, strengthening teaching, and empowering millions of learners nationwide with high-quality digital tools has been taken by Accessible Publishers Ltd with the launch of its first AI-powered digital textbook designed specifically for Nigerian schools.

The Accessible iBook, created by Ibadan-based Accessible Publishers Ltd and led by its forward-thinking Chairman/CEO, Mr Gbadega Adedapo, is set to place Nigeria’s educational sector on the map and advance it into a new era.

As explained by Mr Adedapo, the AI-powered digital textbook “is an innovative tool for schools, which supports the Federal Government’s desire to deliver equitable, inclusive, and technology-driven educational outcomes across all states.”

“It blends the full content of curriculum-approved Nigerian textbooks with powerful Artificial Intelligence features that make teaching and learning easier, faster, and more effective. With its flexible digital format, students and teachers can access notes, videos, assessments, and revision tools anytime, whether in the classroom or at home.”

Highlighting some of the major features of the iBook, the chairman said: “The iBook has an AI Lesson Planning Assistant, which automatically generates detailed lesson notes for teachers across all subjects. This reduces teacher workload, improves consistency, and ensures that even schools in underserved or teacher-short communities receive quality instructional support.”

While the groundbreaking feature of the book, according to the publisher, is the AI Question Generation Engine, which produces curriculum-aligned test and examination questions automatically, he noted that these questions support preparation for BECE, NECO, WAEC, and internal school assessments, helping schools maintain high academic standards nationwide.

The platform also includes interactive learning activities such as drag-and-match exercises, auto-graded quizzes, instant-feedback practice tasks, and student self-assessments. These activities make learning more engaging and help students build deeper understanding through active participation rather than passive reading.

Each digital textbook contains a chapter summary section that presents key points in simple, clear language. This helps students revise quickly, especially during examinations or when revisiting topics independently at home. Importantly, the Accessible iBook is built to suit Nigeria’s unique learning environment. It functions effectively in areas with low or unstable internet connectivity, allowing schools to download learning materials for repeated offline use.

Apart from strengthening Nigeria’s digital learning agenda by offering 24/7 learning support for students and productivity tools that simplify teaching, it also provides standardised curriculum content across schools as well as scalable digital resources for primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary levels.

He added: “To help students absorb and retain knowledge, every topic and chapter includes definitions and chapter summaries, thereby simplifying complex ideas into digestible points. The innovative question bank and multiple-choice question creator allow educators and students to generate customised questions and quizzes, facilitating active learning and robust exam preparation.

“The inclusion of an analytics dashboard is also a game-changer, providing real-time insights into users’ interactions with the book. This data empowers teachers to identify students’ strengths and areas needing improvement, fostering a more targeted teaching approach.

“Furthermore, suggested videos and real-world examples within the book bring lessons to life, linking theoretical concepts to practical applications. This multimedia integration enriches the learning journey, making it more engaging and relevant.

“What truly sets this AI-powered book apart is its interactivity. Users can communicate directly with the iBook, asking questions, requesting additional examples, drafting lesson notes, summarising topics, and assigning tasks, all tailored specifically to the Accessible Publishers textbook content, which is curriculum-compliant. This unprecedented level of interaction transforms the reading experience into an active dialogue, supporting learners in mastering subjects at their own pace.”

This tech innovation by Accessible Publishers Ltd positions Nigeria at the forefront of educational technology in Africa. By merging artificial intelligence with publishing, the company has created a powerful tool that promises to revolutionise education nationwide, benefiting students, educators, and the wider academic community. This bold step demonstrates a visionary commitment to leveraging technology for educational advancement, setting a new standard for Nigerian publishing and learning.

The innovative iBook is a sequel to AccessStudy, developed a few years ago, and is part of the foremost publisher’s desire to advance the frontiers of educational innovation.

AccessStudy includes a nation-ready computer-based testing (CBT) engine, built to mirror interfaces used in major examinations. Schools can create tests, mock exams, or practice sessions while the system automatically marks and analyses each student’s performance. This helps learners become confident with digital examinations and supports schools in embracing modern assessment methods.

AccessStudy also simplifies school operations through its digital administrative tools, including attendance tracking, communication dashboards, and real-time progress monitoring for teachers, principals, and state education officers. These tools reduce manual workload and enable data-driven decision-making at classroom, school, and state levels.

Parents benefit from smart alerts and performance updates, allowing them to stay actively involved in their children’s learning. Meanwhile, government authorities gain access to aggregated learning data that highlights regional strengths, identifies gaps, and guides policy development.

By combining AI technology with Nigerian curriculum content, AccessStudy strengthens teaching, boosts student performance, and bridges educational inequalities across the nation. It stands as a powerful solution for building a digital-first, inclusive, and high-performing education system for Nigeria.
