WE KNOW IT
CAN SCALE UP TO MILLIONS OF USERS IF NEEDED , BUT IT ALSO HAS A HUGE AMOUNT OF FEATURES AND SERVICES WHICH WE HAVE YET TO UTILISE . designed for all grade levels and the content is interactive and motivating for all students , with a variety of activities that have accurate and distinguished technical designs .
“ The Alef Platform had a great influence in supporting our students in our schools during the remote teaching period and facilitated the teaching process by watering down the material for the students on one hand and helping the teachers to track and follow up on their students ’ work on the other hand ,” he said .
According to Al Majdoub , the Alef platform has also had a significant role in supporting the Arabic language and elevates the students ’ level in Arabic .
With more than 400 schools using Alef Education ’ s AI-powered digital education platform , the education provider plans to rapidly scale its offerings to ministries of education and private school operators across the Middle East and North Africa ( MENA ), with the GCC countries the primary focus .
In a post-COVID-19 world , Alef Education believes that the rapid rise of digital will also open up new markets and territories in the sphere of e-learning .
“ We are saddened by the pandemic and the catastrophic impact it has had globally , but we are excited about the importance countries , ministries and school districts will place on adopting a digital-first strategy for the education sector across the MENA region ,” Khan said .
The added benefit of strong security
For a company dealing with user passwords and personal information , security is a prime focus .
Khan explained that Alef Education prides itself in having a secure platform that comes with enterprise-level products .
Alef Education uses Auth0 Logs to monitor authentications performed by its users and identify suspicious activity .
“ We are able to see abnormalities in user authentication by using the logs from Auth0 . This allows me and my team to gain the trust of students and teachers alike , connecting multiple e-learning tools in a single platform while protecting user data ,” he said .
Moving forward , Alef Education has plans to continue growing with Auth0 and the vast authentication solutions it has in its stable .
“ We know Auth0 can scale . We know it can scale up to millions of users if needed , but it also has a huge amount of features and services which we have yet to utilise , everything from multi-factor authentication to being able to detect breaches ,” he said .
He explained that the company aims to use Auth0 to integrate more e-learning tools .
“ The more platforms that we add , the more we want to make sure that , for our users , we minimise the amount of complexity to just have one single username and password . Auth0 is helping us develop our educational ecosystem . Instead of worrying about security , Alef Education can focus on transforming the education sector .” �
