In the last eight years, Shule Direct has reached more than 3 million young learners in public secondary schools in Tanzania, accessing the local Secondary School curriculum, engaging with a virtual teacher and other learners, and testing their comprehension via thousands of interactive quizzes available on the Shule Direct digital learning platforms both online via Shule Direct web and mobile applications and offline via Shule Direct's Desktop Learning Management System that has been licensed in at least 80 secondary schools and learning centres in rural and semi-urban parts of Tanzania.
The success of Shule Direct’s digital learning platforms is synonymous with the involvement of over 50,000 dedicated, self-motivated and highly innovative teachers subscribed on the Shule Direct digital learning platforms.
Shule Direct users have been able to significantly improve learning, this is evidenced through performance scores of the individual learners and user testimonials on how the platform helped them in accessing much needed learning resources.
The Innovation
Shule Direct delivers web and mobile platforms as supplementary and alternative solutions to the knowledge and information divide for in and out of school learners in Africa. We work with qualified teachers to create digitized learning notes, tutorials, quizzes and multimedia content and developing technological solutions to deliver comprehensive curriculums on web and mobile solutions. We offer the entire Primary School and Secondary School curriculum, Life Skills and Financial Education content on a web platform; a mobile application for android and iOS; a Short Messaging Service (SMS) platform; and an offline Learning Management System. Initial early effort in content build and structuring of our digital content repository has enabled us to use it for current platforms and into the future for variety of different platforms and applications without recreating our content. Students and Teachers can subscribe on our online platforms on any mobile device or license our offline learning management system developed exclusively for computer labs in schools.
