The needs of students in Saudi Arabia have inspired Darisni, the region\u2019s first smart-device platform that instantly connects students with qualified tutors, to revise its offering in order to better meet its users\u2019 needs. This has resulted in the platform\u2019s expansion, including new subjects, exclusive video content, mock tests, and more.<\/p>\n
There are more than 130,000 registered Darisni users in Saudi Arabia, who have, to date, accessed close to 140,000 lessons. With such high demand in the Kingdom, Darisni organised focus groups in order to better understand the needs of Saudi students, and to learn about their needs and challenges. The feedback gathered from these groups, in addition to analyses of data gathered through the app to determine trends and patterns, has led Darisni to introduce new features that provide a more thorough educational experience to its expansive database of student users.<\/p>\n
In addition to Mathematics, English and Arabic, Darisni now offers Science as a tutoring subject, including Chemistry, Biology and Physics. The app also sports a new interface with an intelligent home screen that gives the student user a snapshot overview of their activity and learning, as well as providing exclusive videos produced and published by Darisni, tailored to curricula followed by students in the region. Additionally, Darisni now offers affordable monthly subscription plans.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the additions to Darisni, Noor Boodai, Founder and CEO, said: \u201cWe have worked closely with students to determine what will benefit them the most. Every student is unique and has a different way in which they absorb and learn, therefore we addressed this challenge by expanding our offering to be more aligned with the needs of today\u2019s learners \u2013 which are not necessarily being met by traditional education methods.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boodai explained how the traditional method of teaching is designed for mass learning, and follows curricula and syllabi that were developed to educate students decades, if not centuries ago. \u201cEducation today needs to be more personalised and targeted towards the development of individuals, with a focus on how they can contribute to society. E-learning, such as Darisni offers, enables students to learn at a self-paced level, giving them the opportunity to access and understand information in their own manner. By aggregating student behavioural and performance data, Darisni uses its deep understanding to the advantage of students, providing custom content that allows them to carve their own unique educational path.\u201d<\/p>\n
The needs of teachers are addressed by Darisni, too. \u201cWe understand that teachers are important in the education ecosystem, and we have studied their needs when it comes to delivering effective learning,\u201d said Boodai. \u201cTo facilitate a better experience for them, we are actively working on an interface that provides the tools and resources needed by educators to facilitate more effective and efficient collaboration between teachers and students.<\/p>\n
Darisni can be downloaded for free on iPhone, iPad, and Android smart devices. School and university students can use the multi-subject platform to connect with subject specialists, who will then assist them with the learning and understanding required to answer their questions. Darisni offers monthly complimentary hours to enhance the learning process and encourage students to discover this new technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
