Students Circle Network is a good international, educational social network for college and high school students, providing free course resources, peer to peer learning, study groups and support services. It was started in the Kyrenia-area of Northern Cyprus in 2010. It is an OpenCourseWare consortium member 〔(The OpenCourseWare Consortium Course Details )〕 and lists over 10,400 academic courses from over 200 OpenCourseWare member universities around the world, free to students in business, computing, engineering, sciences and humanities. == History == The network was started as a personal project of Gospel Ukanwoke, in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus, in 2010, as a collaboration tool for students at Girne American University.〔(Global Eğitim Merkezi Student Circle Genişliyor )〕 Gossy Ukanwoke has been referred to as the Mark Zuckerberg of Nigeria by Forbes〔(Meet Nigeria's Budding Mark Zuckerberg )〕 and as "Africa's top technology entrepreneur".〔(Q&A Who is Africa's Top Tech Entrepreneur )〕 The network became popular in other campuses in Northern Cyprus and, after it was featured on Venture Capital for Africa and African Innovators, was opened for students in West Africa.〔(VC4Africa Venture Profile - Students Circle Network )〕〔(Students Circle Network: A Social Network for Students by a Nigerian Innovator )〕 Subsequently it attracted participation by Brazilians after it was featured in Hoje Em Dia of Brazil and other European news sites. The network opened to all students across the globe on December 1, 2010. In April 2012, Gossy Ukanwoke the Founder of Students Circle Network stepped down from the active management and operation of the network to focus on the creation of a new online university 〔(Stepping Down to Step Up )〕〔(Students Circle Network CEO Steps Down to Focus on New Online University for African Students )〕 - Beni American University 〔(Nigerian launches online varsity for African students )〕〔(Hi-tech solution to Nigeria's education chaos )〕〔(Nigeria’s Entrepreneur Introduces First Online University - Channels TV )〕 with a goal of creating affordable education for African youths. Students Circle Network appointed Samora Reid 〔(Part Of The Students Circle Network Team )〕 to take over the operations of the social network. The network has since then focused more on making free non video resources available for students and less on the social interactions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Students Circle Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
