Q. Is this Yaaka a Ugandan website/ app? 

Yaaka is a Ugandan made digital learning platform. While most of content and syllabus at the start focuses on Uganda and the country’s official syllabus, our goal is to develop Yaaka into an Africa wide digital learning platform providing authentic country relevant education materials with multimedia and interactive capabilities.

Which kind of teachers put notes and classes on yaaka? 

Any one registered on the website can apply to be a teacher / instructor and once approved can put up courses, create groups for learners, create course products for sale and award academic achievements. While effort is always put in ensuring teachers are knowledgeable in what they intend to put on yaaka, we believe many people can have what others can learn from and the judgement of whether material put up is good or not should be left to the users (learners) through their reviews and comments.

How do you protect copyrights and prevent stealing of other people’s content?

As you can see in our terms of use, all who put up content on Yaaka should ensure they own or are authorised to share the content they put on Yaaka. All people who put content on Yaaka are also required to respect copyrights of authors and content owners.

As an open society and open learning initiative, we encourage all people who put up content on Yaaka and indeed on any web platform to offer it under creative commons license so sharing with attribution is encouraged.

We also believe the best way to protect your content is by putting it here on Yaaka and sharing it with as many people as possible since not only will many people know about it, you will have many ‘soldiers’ to tell you in case your content has been wrongly used.

We also encourage all our users to police ourselves to ensure we are respectful in use of content and in the language used across the yaaka website/app.

When was Yaaka started?

The Yaaka DN platform was finalized for use in January 2015 although development of the platform and multimedia interactive tools within have been in ongoing development since October 2010. “We are very pleased to bring to Uganda, Africa and the world at large an amazing function rich digital learning platform that is great on technology, content and usability. For both our online and offline platform, we shall continue adding more functionality as relevant to the learning and education realities of Uganda and other African countries we spread to,” says Gerald Businge, the Managing Director of Yaaka.
