Quipper Raises $3.6m For Its Fun Take On E-Learning
There are lots of different approaches to the amorphous market of 'e-learning' but only a handful ever feel much like fun. I think amongst the best of these are sites like MangaHigh which teaches Math, or Moshi Monsters which has subtle learning tasks for kids.Another which works well is Quipper, which, in a Q&A format, helps people learn things in a sort of game format. Today it's announced that it has raised $3.6m (2.3m) of Series A funding led by Globis, the Japanese VC. The round has been two other investors: Atomico, the London-based VC firm led by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrm and Benesse, a major Japanese education and publishing company.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Re0-nVcJuRs/
