Sabaq Blended Learning for Schools (Free)

Use Sabaq in Schools without Internet (Offline)

Blended learning is a powerful approach to education that combines eLearning solutions with inside-the-classroom teaching and significantly improves student learning. It is very popular in first-world countries. In Pakistan, where there is a severe shortage of qualified teachers, Blended Learning can be a game changer for schools.

Sabaq Foundation, a self-funded non-profit, is Pakistan’s largest and most popular free eLearning content provider. Sabaq has over 5 million users and 17,000+ videos for KG-14 grades in Math, Science, English, Urdu, Computers, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, General Math, General Science, etc.

Sabaq also helps schools implement Blended Learning by using its eLearning content in classroom lectures, a study lab for students, a study at home for students, and tablets/mobile phones for teachers. Schools can use this without any internet (offline).

Blended Learning Solution Highlights

Sabaq Blended Learning solution offers Sabaq videos and tests for schools to use for grades KG-14. This solution includes the following components for each school:

  1. Classroom Lectures (TV + Android Box): deliver classroom lectures through Sabaq videos. Also, use practice tests with students to improve their engagement and learning. Regular TV + Android box is sufficient and you don’t need Smart TV.
  2. Study Lab for Students (Android Tablets): provide a study lab in the school where students can again watch some Sabaq videos (to fill learning gaps) and also test their knowledge with practice tests.
  3. Student Self-Study at Home (Android Phones or Tablets): ask students to obtain an Android phone or tablet at home to again watch some Sabaq videos (to fill learning gaps) and also test their knowledge with practice tests.
  4. Teacher Self-Training (Android Phones or Tablets): provide teachers with Android tablets or ask them to use their own Android phones to watch Sabaq videos before each lecture to strengthen their knowledge and also improve teaching techniques. This is especially true if the teachers want to deliver lectures themselves instead of using Sabaq videos for it.

By using the above-mentioned Sabaq Blended Learning solution, you can significantly improve student learning. Your teachers also suddenly become world-class. As a result, your school performance improves dramatically.

Make Teachers More Effective

There is a misperception that eLearning solutions in Blended Learning may take the place of teachers. This is not possible because without teachers there is no education. Teachers manage students in all manners and delivering lectures is just one part of their job.

In reality, Sabaq Blended Learning makes teachers more effective because it is a powerful tool in their hands. Their own teaching knowledge and technique improve and student learning also gets a major boost.

Using Sabaq App for Blended Learning

The easiest way to use Sabaq Blended Learning in your schools is with Sabaq App. Sabaq App allows you to download videos and practice tests upfront and watch them later without the internet (offline).

Here is how you Sabaq App in Blended Learning:

  1. Internet WiFi Router: set up a WiFi Router in your school to provide internet access to all Sabaq Apps. Please note that we strongly recommend that you download all the desired videos and practice tests upfront in the Sabaq App instead of playing them live from the internet in the classroom.
  2. Classroom TVs: make sure one or more of your classrooms have a regular TV (40-inch or larger is preferred). You don’t need a Smart TV or Android TV but that will also work if you have it.
  3. Android Boxes for Classroom TVs: with each classroom TV (regular or Smart), you need to connect an Android box on which you will install Sabaq App. Please note that even if you have an Android TV, we do not recommend that you install Sabaq App on Android TV. Instead, please install it on one of the following Android boxes. Please purchase them directly from the market (the prices are only estimates in August 2023):
    1. T95H Android Box: 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, Android 12, 6K resolution (Approx. Rs 6500)
    2. Danny TV Box (AX-100): 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, Android 9, 4K resolution (Approx. Rs 10,000)
  4. Install Sabaq App: do it for the following: on every Android device (Android box, tablet, or phone) on which you install Sabaq App, it requires you to use a Google email address to activate it. We strongly commend that you create multiple email addresses so you can later track them. Use email address formats like schoolname.classlevel@gmail.com, schoolname.studylab@gmail.com, schoolname.teachername@gmail.com, etc.
    1. Classroom Android box: install it on the Android Box for every classroom. We strongly recommend that you create a unique email address for each class so you can later track who is using Sabaq videos or not.
    2. Study Lab Android Tablets: install it on all study lab Android tablets. Just use one email address for the whole lab.
    3. Teacher Training Tablets: install it on all teacher Android tablets or phones. Use a unique email address for each teacher in the above-mentioned format.
    4. Student Android Phones or Tablets at Home: ask students to install Sabaq App on their Android phones or tablets at home.
  5. Download videos & tests upfront (offline viewing): Sabaq App lets you download videos and tests upfront so you can watch and use them later without any Internet (offline). We strongly recommend that you do this instead of playing videos live from the internet in the classroom. Do the following:
    1. Classroom Android box: Each classroom is usually used for one class only (e.g. Class 7). So, download videos and tests for all the subjects of this specific class. And, if possible, do it for the whole academic year.
    2. Study Lab Android Tablets: study lab is shared among different classes so each Android tablet may not have enough space for downloading all of Sabaq videos (all grades and all subjects). Therefore, download videos and tests for the next 1-2 months. But if there is space then download for the whole academic year.
    3. Teacher Training Tablets or Phones: each teacher may be teaching multiple classes but usually only one subject. So, download videos and tests on his tablet or phone for that subject only.
    4. Student Android Phones or Tablets at Home: ask students to install Sabaq App on their Android phones or tablets at home. And, ask them to download videos and tests for their class and all subjects upfront for the whole academic year if possible.
