Overview
O.L.E. Nepal is expanding its library of interactive and multimedia learning resources contextualized for Nepal. We are creating hundreds of new lessons for E-Paath, which already has over 500 interactive learning modules that are designed to align with Nepal's national curriculum. Catering to specific subjects and grade levels from 1 to 8, E-Paath modules are available in Nepali and English languages. We are also adapting interactive E-Paath lessons in Nepali Sign Language (NSL).
Additionally, we are developing new animated stories for our Hamro Ramailo Kathaharu (HRK) platform, and adapting them to English, Maithili, Nepal Bhasa and Tibetan. A total of 60 interactive animated stories (and print-ready story books) and supporting gamified activities in Nepali, English, Tibetan, Nepal Bhasa (Newari), and Maithili, which include 10 new stories sourced locally from the participating language communities, will be accessible to learners. We are also adapting these stories for Nepali Sign Language users.
Furthermore, we are creating skills-based courses with interactive lessons for language learning, coding, financial literacy and other subject areas.
