Almadrsa
An e-learning platform for schools.
An online school platform bringing courses, materials and student progress into one place for a school's teachers and students.
Schools that went online during the pandemic mostly ended up with a mix of a video call link, a WhatsApp group and a shared drive. None of it survives a change of teacher.
Almadrsa gives the same activity a structure that outlasts the term: courses hold their material, students have progress, and nothing depends on somebody still being in the right group chat.
Problems worth solving
Teachers will not learn a new tool mid-term
Any platform that asks a teacher to restructure how they already work gets used for one week and abandoned. Adoption fails on effort, not features.
The model mirrors what a school already has, a course with its material and its students, so nothing needs to be rethought to start using it.
What came of it
- Courses, materials and student progress in one Arabic-first platform.
