NewLecturers Shouldn't Be IT Administrators
Hours lost on admin
You spend more time uploading notes, chasing students for submissions, and manually recording marks than actually teaching.
LMS setup is overwhelming
Your institution has Moodle, but nobody has time to configure it properly: courses, enrollments, gradebook setup, mobile optimization. It sits there half-finished.
Students can't access content
Your students are on mobile with limited data. PDFs don't render, videos won't load, and emails go unread.
Live in 48 Hours. Here's How.
You Share, We Build
Send us your course outline, notes (any format: PDF, Word, handwritten scans), and student list (names + phone numbers). That's it.
We Set Up Everything
Within 48 hours, we set up your Moodle course. We upload content in mobile-friendly formats, enroll your students, and configure assignments, deadlines, and your gradebook.
Students Access on Their Phones
Students receive an SMS/WhatsApp notification with their Moodle login. They access notes, submit assignments, and check grades, all from their phones, even on low data.
You Teach, We Manage
Focus on delivering great lectures. Zen handles reminders, deadline tracking, grade computation, attendance logs, and communication.
Everything Your Class Needs
Powerful tools designed for Kenyan lecturers and students.
Mobile-First Content
We optimize your Moodle course for phones. Students read notes, watch compressed videos, and download for offline access, even on 2G.
Smart Assignments
Create, distribute, and collect assignments digitally. Automatic deadline reminders via SMS. No more "I didn't see it" excuses.
Automated Gradebook
Marks are computed, weighted, and organized automatically. Export-ready reports for your HOD or department at the click of a button.

Questions? We've Got Answers.
Moodle is the platform, and it's excellent. Zen is the team that sets it up, configures it, and manages it for you. You give us your content and student list, and we handle everything else. Think of us as your Moodle IT department.
Students can use the Moodle mobile app or access everything through their phone's browser via a link sent by SMS or WhatsApp. Either way, it works great on mobile.
We've built Zen for Kenyan realities. Content is compressed for low data usage, materials can be downloaded for offline reading, and critical notifications go through SMS. No internet needed.
We offer simple, flexible billing options. For institutional plans, we work with your procurement process and accept LPOs.
You do. 100%. Zen manages your Moodle course, but your content is always yours. You can export or delete it at any time.
Absolutely. Our Starter plan is just KES 500 per course for up to 50 students. We also offer a white-glove pilot where we set up one of your course units so you can see the value firsthand.
Yes. We comply with Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019. All data is encrypted, hosted on secure servers, and never shared with third parties.
