Yaaka Digital Network www.yaaka.cc, is a multi-award winning learning and training platform offering online and offline learning materials input and access, interactions as well a set of tools for digitalising teaching and learning online and offline.
Yaaka is like www.coursera.com, Khanacademy.com , Udemy.com, EDX.org, but in addition to offering country and or particular institution relevant academic content and interactions, Yaaka is a four in one product for digitalising learning and teaching. It consists of:Â
1. The web app www.yaaka.cc where trainers and learners can signup for accounts to input and access learning materials in text, pictures, audio, video and graphics at their convenience on any gadget that can access the internet and a web browser. It is built as a market place of learning materials and a social network for learning with interactive features for groups, discussion forums, friendship, selling of courses, metered learning, quizzes, assignments, content drip feed, online and off line courses, live classes etc.
2. The Yaaka offline app: which enables people to access www.yaaka.cc as an offline app on their gadget so one can learn anytime anywhere without needing access to the internet. We can install (at a fee) Yaaka offline on any computer, phone or tablet of sizable memory (60GB, 4GB RAM). 3 The Yaaka tablet computer https://www.yaaka.cc/product/yaaka-tablet-with-uganda-syllabus-apps/ which comes with www.yaaka.cc pre-installed. People who purchase the Yaaka Tablet Computer can learn offline for free and go online as and where they choose.
4. Yaaka Plus for Institutions where we deliver a networked Yaaka installation for a fee to an education institution- which networked Yaaka can be accessed by any number of learners and trainers connected to the same LAN or wireless network at any campus/ learning venue (not needing internet). We can optionally provide good branded tablets for schools ($100) who want learners and trainers to access learning and teaching at a central location at the institution on digital gadgets as well as on an online (off internet) platform.
Additionally, we offer Yaaka DN as a mobile app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.yaaka.www.twe and provide world class digital pedagogy training in partnership with Makerere University https://www.yaaka.cc/course/dp-digital-pedagogy-for-teachers-lecturers-tutors-and-trainers/
We have the most comprehensive digital learning solution, the reason Yaaka DN has in the past three years been recognised in national and international awards, including UCC’s Annual Communication Innovation Awards 2015, Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Foundation awards 2016 and the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation 2017 (organised by UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering UK).
We are unique because of our outstanding development of technologies that take advantage of digital learning and training beyond the internet, as the latter is a finite resource that can be ‘stressed’ with more users, especially at the same time- Technologies that transfer online technologies to offline access, and back online while maintaining interactivity.
We are looking for financing to improve our online and offline apps, to build a superior set of tablet computers and phones as well to undertake market outreach activities, including installing in government and private education institutions, providing online learning facilitation to subscribers or availing Yaaka content and learning facilitation free. We can with your help develop this product that is taking better advantage of digital technologies to provide better practically rewarding teaching and learning platforms and tools.
We as Yaaka/ Ultimate Multimedia Consult have a workplan for developing relevant academic materials in multimedia formats (text, audio, video, images, graphics, animation) as well as curate those relevant and available online for each African country that we avail both online www.yaaka.cc and offline tools for that particular country. We can explore other markets together.
