Learn to be your best.

  • Test knowledge

  • Study smart

  • Hit targets

For Schools

Efficient and effective teaching

  • Social and safe

  • Adaptable and relevant

  • Real-time performance and progress reports

Koloso allows schools to access a dashboard where they create and manage their own group account, issue login credentials and see the performance for the school, for each grade, class and student.

This structure means that all students can play Koloso, engage with their friends and classmates, and participate in teams and competitions in a safe environment.

Koloso adapts to every school’s chosen curriculum and class teaching plan. Daily quizzes and other games draw on a database of thousands of questions relevant to what is going on in class at any one time.

The Koloso schools’ dashboard analytics allow teachers to track aggregate and individual progress towards learning objectives.

Koloso for schools is currently available in Zambia, and has been priced to be as accessible as possible, with schools having an option to pick from 3 tiered subscription packages, lowest being a US$1 per student user per term.

For Players

Hit your learning targets

  • Define objectives and monitor progress

  • Be part of a learning community

  • Achieve learning goals

Koloso allows you to monitor progress towards your own learning objective – whether it is linked to achieving exam success at school or to learning skills you need for work. By taking a two minute quiz every day, you will test your knowledge of the techniques that you need to learn to achieve your objective. As soon as you finish the quiz you can see where you got answers right or wrong, and how well you are progressing towards your target.

With Koloso, you are never alone. You can link up with your friends, family, classmates or colleagues to share your achievements or congratulate their progress, make teams or play in competitions.

Most of all, Koloso helps you to work smarter by telling you exactly where to focus your effort to achieve your learning goals. Koloso won’t do the learning for you, but it is like a personal training buddy offering encouragement and rewarding progress along the way so that you really can learn to be your best.

For Parents

Help your child to be their best

  • Engage and encourage

  • Access additional support

  • Witness the difference

Koloso allows parents of children attending a Koloso registered school to engage with their child’s learning journey from the very first to the very last day at school. Understanding your child’s individual learning objectives and seeing their progress will allow you to encourage and support your child on their journey towards achieving their full potential.

As a parent, you will have access to the same real-time performance and progress report as your child and their teacher. You will see where they are doing well and where they need to improve, so that you can target your support for your child in the most effective way. Our online resources directory will point you towards free and paid learning support resources aligned with your child’s individual needs.

And the more your child engages with Koloso, you will see exactly how they are progressing towards their personal learning targets and preparing for exam success.

  • Work on project Koloso started in October 2022, and we loaded our first test version of the Koloso mobile app to the Android Play Store and the iOS App Store in March 2023.

    The second version of Koloso incorporating user feedback was in the stores and ready for more intense user-testing in August 2023.

    In June 2023 we successfully completed an angel investment round, allowing us to accelerate product development and refinement, and setting us on the path to significant fundraising and expansion in mid-2024.

    We are initially concentrating on serving schools and students in our home country of Zambia, but our intention is to expand internationally in the region starting in 2024.
