Lessons that live beyond the classroom
Teachers build courses out of modules, lessons and materials. Students follow them from any phone, and progress is visible to teacher and family alike.
Teaching material that outlives the term
Every teacher has a folder of worksheets, notes and past papers that dies with the school year: shared once into a Telegram group, buried by June, rebuilt from scratch in September. The material is usually fine. It is the container that fails.
Temari gives that material a permanent home. A course is built once out of modules and ordered lessons, with readings, video and quizzes attached, and reused across sections and across years. A single worksheet is uploaded one time and targeted to exactly the right grades and sections; next year it is still there.
Everything is built for the connections students actually have. Pages are light, files are compressed, and a lesson that loaded once keeps working when the network wobbles. A course a student cannot open on a 3G phone in Adama might as well not exist.
capabilities
Courses with real structure
Modules, ordered lessons, readings and video, assembled once and reused across sections and years.
Materials shared once
A worksheet or reading is uploaded one time and sent to the right grades and sections. You never upload it again for the next class.
Progress you can see
Each student's position in the course is tracked, so a teacher knows who is keeping up before the exam does.
Connected to the gradebook
Quizzes and assignments inside a course link to assessment slots, so course work counts where it should.
How a course comes together
- 1
Structure the modules
Break the subject into modules and ordered lessons. Attach readings, videos and quizzes to each lesson. The skeleton is reusable year after year.
- 2
Choose how lessons unlock
Open everything at once, or unlock lessons in order so students walk the path the teacher intended.
- 3
Target the right classes
Publish to specific grades and sections. One course serves every parallel section without a single duplicate upload.
- 4
Watch progress as it happens
Each student's position in the course is visible to the teacher: who finished, who stalled, who never started, well before the exam tells you.
Structure that survives staff turnover
The deepest cost of teacher turnover in Ethiopian schools is invisible: the leaving teacher's materials leave with them, and the incoming teacher starts from a blank exercise book. Temari fixes the ownership: courses and materials belong to the school's workspace, not to a personal Telegram account or a private laptop folder. When staff change, the next teacher inherits a working course, structure and readings and quizzes included, and improves it instead of rebuilding it.
A course is real structure: modules containing ordered lessons, each lesson carrying its readings, video, worksheets and practice quizzes. The teacher chooses whether lessons unlock in sequence, so students walk the intended path, or open all at once for revision.
Assembly is cheap by design: attach existing materials, pull questions from the bank into lesson quizzes, duplicate last year's course and adjust. The second year of a course costs a fraction of the first.
Materials without the re-upload treadmill
The materials library replaces the WhatsApp-group-as-filing-cabinet pattern that every school knows and no school can search. A worksheet, past paper or reading is uploaded once, described once, and targeted to the grades and sections that should see it. Next September it is still there, findable by subject and grade instead of buried under ten thousand chat messages.
Targeting is precise: one file can serve all of Grade 7, only 7B, or a mix of sections across streams, without a single duplicate copy existing anywhere. Update the file and every class sees the new version; there is no chasing stale copies through forwarded chats.
Families see the same approved content as students, from their own portal. A parent who asks "what are you learning this week?" can open the actual lesson, which changes the conversation at home.
Progress you can act on before the exam
Paper gives a teacher one progress signal: the exam, when it is too late. A course gives a continuous one. The teacher's view shows each student's position (lessons opened, quizzes attempted, scores earned) and the class pattern: who finished Unit 3, who stalled at Photosynthesis two weeks ago, who never started.
That signal arrives while it is still cheap to act on. A student stuck on one lesson gets a conversation this week, not a failing mark next month; a whole class stuck on the same lesson tells the teacher the lesson itself needs re-teaching. Practice quizzes inside lessons score instantly with explanations, so students self-check without waiting for marking.
Bandwidth reality shapes all of it: pages are light, files are compressed on upload, and a lesson opened once keeps working through connection drops. A bad network day never counts against a student's progress.
Also in this module
- Lessons unlock in order or all at once, whichever the teacher chooses
- Light pages and small files that open on a weak connection
- Families see the same approved content as the student
- Works alongside exam prep for Grade 6, 8 and 12
Common questions
Does it work on slow connections?
Yes, and it is a design rule rather than a hope. Pages are kept light, files compressed, and the app tolerates dropped connections without losing a student's place.
Can parents see course content?
Yes. Families see the same approved content as the student, from their own portal, so "what are you learning this week?" has an answer they can check.
Do quizzes inside a course count for grades?
If the teacher links them to an assessment slot, yes, and the scores flow into the marklist like any other graded work. Practice quizzes can also stay just practice.
Who owns the material a teacher uploads?
The school. Courses and materials belong to the school's own workspace and stay when staff change, so the next teacher inherits the material instead of an empty folder.
Can we reuse a course next year?
Yes. Duplicate it, adjust dates and materials, and publish to the new sections. The structure, readings and quizzes carry over; the second year costs a fraction of the first.
What file types and sizes work on school connections?
Documents, images, audio and video all work; uploads are compressed and pages kept light so lessons open on 3G phones. Very large videos are better linked than uploaded, and the teacher sees sizes at upload time.
Do students need to be online to study?
Opening a lesson needs a connection, but the pages are small enough for weak networks, and a dropped connection never loses a student's place or quiz progress. They continue where they stopped.
