The digital academy for Nigerian sport
SportIQ (Sport + Intelligence Quotient) is a proposed national sports education and professional development platform in partnership with the National Institute for Sports.
More than an e-learning app
SportIQ combines a learning management system, a professional certification academy, a sports science knowledge hub, a research repository and a national sports workforce database on one connected platform.
It serves learners across Nigeria, accommodates different levels of digital access and supports professional standards that can be benchmarked against national and international frameworks.
One national platform. Every sports profession. Continuous learning. Verifiable qualifications. Measurable impact.
Design principles
- Integrated learner records across courses, assessments, practical experience and qualifications
- Mobile-first and low-bandwidth access, with offline learning where feasible
- NIS control of academic standards, course approval and qualification rules
- Practical assessment alongside online learning
- Privacy, security, accessibility and interoperability from the outset
- Phased delivery: a credible core first, then evidence-led expansion
