STRATEGY TO DEVELOP AN ONLINE ARABIC PLATFORM
Increase user accessibility
“Can I afford this?” YES! Offer affordable subscription
Lowers financial barrier to join
Increases number of students that join
Creates recurring revenue
“Does it fit my schedule?” YES! Start anytime - Learn 24/7 and year-round
In-person class model limited where people can join from, cohort model limited when students can join
“Do they offer my level?” YES! All levels of Arabic can join
This includes those who struggle to read (we now offer Pre-Level 1 classes), are a heritage learner, are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced student
Currently, we do not offer for those who cannot read, but we are working on the curriculum for this.
“Do you offer for any age?” NO We offer for most
This includes older learners, and we hope to make it more accessible for younger learners
“Can you offer it at a different pace?” YES! With the platform, one can go at a faster (and perhaps more importantly) slower pace while still accessing live instruction
This is the key and the best of both worlds, as they get the best of self-paced (any pace they want) and the best of live cohorts (live sessions and support).
This is the goal of the A La Carte model
Decrease per-student cost
