Distance Learning in Pakistan

Distance Learning in Pakistan

Koshish Foundation has been involved in generating distance learning coursework through two programs:

1. Through Learntive (http://learntive.com/wordpress/)
Learntive has developed math videos (based on Sindh Textbook Board's Class IX and X curriculum).  The math videos are available on Learntive's web site (e.g., here: http://learntive.com/wordpress/?page_id=652) and have been distributed on CDs to government schools, through the Government of Sindh (http://www.riazhaq.com/2013/03/learntive-silicon-valley-nedians.html)

2. Through the translation of Khan Academy basic science videos
Koshish Foundation has recently completed translation of Khan Academy's 1000 basic math, chemistry, and physics videos, and has started work on the next batch of 1000 videos.  Many non-profit organizations (e.g., TCF, DIL) have shown interest in using the translated videos in the schools they operate.
