Learning with Smart Apps: The Amal Approach

Digital education emerged in 1999 and has transformed how children learn. Discover how smart apps like Amal make Arabic learning engaging and effective.

The Digital Education Revolution

The term digital education was first used in a professional context during a technology conference in 1999, marking the beginning of a revolution in teaching and learning methods. A large part of this revolution is attributed to the enormous development in artificial intelligence technologies and digital applications that have erased geographical distances and opened new horizons for the free exchange of information.

This massive knowledge explosion has changed the way we live, work, interact with others, and the skills we need to thrive in this new reality. Unfortunately, many educational systems still operate under outdated assumptions about information scarcity. Our educational systems were built around libraries and teachers who transfer knowledge. But the rise of computing power, electronic devices, the internet, and digital collaboration platforms has moved us into a world of information abundance, creating a gap between education systems that could not keep pace and the skills and expertise currently required.

Why Smart Apps Matter for Children

Perhaps the most affected by this gap are children who cannot access high-quality, up-to-date educational materials. Without innovative learning platforms that create new opportunities for knowledge and provide easy, seamless access to information, society risks losing essential skills. This is why the Alphazed team developed the Amal app for teaching Arabic to children both in the Arab world and beyond.

How Amal Works

Using the latest available technologies and tools, we developed Amal as an unconventional educational app for children ages three to eight. The app relies on artificial intelligence and Bloom's American methodology for language teaching, which classifies educational objectives into levels organized by complexity, helping children learn across three domains: cognitive, emotional, and psychological.

By combining this methodology with AI that detects children's pronunciation errors through listening and dialogue, along with over 30,000 carefully curated educational elements, Amal encourages children to analyze challenges and puzzles within games and use logical approaches to solve them. This strengthens their abilities and knowledge while teaching them correct Arabic pronunciation in as little as thirty days. Amal regularly delivers new, dynamic content covering cultural, scientific, and social topics to increase children's awareness and introduce them to the world around them. The education revolution begins with unconventional methods. The education revolution begins with Amal.
