Professional development that fits in a teacher’s pocket.
kolab. is a mobile app giving Foundation Phase teachers access to over 2 200 CAPS-aligned professional development modules, anytime and anywhere, on their mobile phones. With funder support, connectivity comes through routers at partner schools, so data cost does not block access.
Three ways kolab. changes how teachers develop.
Learn at your own pace
Bite-sized modules across Maths, English, Pedagogy, Life Skills and more, structured around the CAPS curriculum and short enough to complete between lessons.
Think deeper, teach better
Every module is built on Harvard Project Zero thinking routines, frameworks that develop reflective, confident teachers who understand the content they deliver. Teachers engage with the material, question it, and apply it in their own classrooms.
Works with what you already use
kolab. integrates with the KZN NECT Planner and Tracker, the daily planning framework teachers already work within. It works as a digital teaching assistant inside the system they already know. Less preparation, the same compliance.
kolab. doesn’t add to a teacher’s workload. It makes the work they’re already doing easier.
