Alef launches new hypermedia,
immersive K-12 education solution
Demonstration of Alef K-12 solution.
Alef, a privately held education technology company, launched its
technology-enabled education solution at a school in Abu Dhabi.
More than 240 students began an education journey that has been
36 months in the making.
Alef is essentially an innovative and immersive multi-lingual
learning-science framework with in-house hypermedia content
powered by cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence. Its
design adopts natural language processing, advanced data science,
and technology-enhanced content to deliver a system that engages
students and encourages self-learning, with the aim of equipping
them with the skills necessary to successfully navigate the world of
the future.
Alef fundamentally evolves the role of the teacher in the
21st century classroom, shifting the education process from the
familiar teacher-centred model to a learner-centred data-driven
model. With Alef, the teacher takes on the role of an expert
facilitator, aided by an innovative and immersive ecosystem
powered by groundbreaking technology and artificial intelligence.
Alef’s technology carefully synchronises with a school’s
curriculum enabling students to learn at their own pace and have
access anywhere, anytime; and develop secure in the knowledge
that they are supported by a community of teachers, who can
make individualised decisions to ensure that each student meets
their short and long-term goals.
Alef’s educational design uses concepts like thematic
interdisciplinary learning – where children learn to make
connections between different fields and subjects; experiential
learning – which encourages learning through experience and
experiment; customised remediation strategies – which respond
to the individual abilities and knowledge level of each student;
and metacognition – where a student is encouraged to understand
their own thought process.
“Alef’s launch is the start of a journey to bring about an
overhaul of the status quo to usher in a new paradigm in
education. Given the rate at which technology and industry
continue to evolve, it is unclear what future workplaces will look
like, let alone understand the skills required of their workforces,”
said Dr Saleh Al Hashemi, Alef’s CEO.
