“We believe lecturers should teach, not troubleshoot. Zen exists to remove every barrier between great educators and their students.”
The Problem We Saw
When COVID-19 hit, Kenyan universities and TVETs were mandated to move online. The problem? Most institutions didn't have the infrastructure, the tools, or the support to make it work.
Lecturers were expected to configure complex LMS platforms on their own, with no training or support. Students with feature phones and expensive data bundles were expected to access platforms designed for desktop computers with broadband.
The digital divide didn't close. It widened. And the lecturers, already overworked and underpaid, bore the burden.
