OUR PLATFORM

An online educational social network. The system includes a structured and organized framework for monitoring progress and enables collaborative work with content tailored to the participating groups. It combines synchronous meetings and asynchronous activities within a defined and pre-planned process, with the flexibility to join at any stage.

OUR GOAL

To promote collaborative, multicultural learning based on the TEC model — the most comprehensive framework for intercultural dialogue within Israel’s education system — through the use of advanced technologies. Our platform bridges language barriers and physical distance, enabling sustained interaction and joint creation between students from diverse sectors.

The platform includes several key features:

01

Collaboration

Participants work together on predefined tasks (assigned by the teacher or facilitator) and progress through them as a team. The task set may include writing assignments (individual or group), audio-based tasks (recording and listening), and video-based activities.

02

Creativity

The platform supports collaborative creative work — students work in groups on assignments that integrate text, images, audio, and video elements.

03

Language

To promote accessible and inclusive multicultural collaboration, the platform allows each participant to write in their native language (currently Hebrew, Arabic, or English).
Texts are automatically adapted into the reader's preferred language. The system detects each user’s native language and displays content accordingly.
There is no need for external tools like Google Translate — the system includes integrated translation tools.

04

Remote Learning

The platform supports both synchronous and asynchronous activities.
While tasks are shared, participants can complete them individually, at their own pace and convenience.
The platform is accessible from any computer or mobile device.

05

Guided Process

Our advanced system enables structured progression through a combination of joint, independent, and personal tasks — all forming a cohesive, meaningful learning journey.
Each participant experiences both individual and group development.
