Zamtel e-Tuition
Case Study
Zamtel e-Tuition
Partnered with Epiphani to develop and deploy Zamtel- an e -Tuition application, It’s a digital platform that enables real-time collaboration and communication through virtual whiteboards. It allows users to brainstorm, plan, and create content together, fostering creativity and productivity using the Zamtel tablet e-tuition app.
The Challenge
Engagement and Interaction is lost with online Learning- Instructors cannot see what students are doing
- Other options allow student to see each other and disrupt
- Engagement loss = Motivation loss
