Closed Course is a course that is created by teachers and taught in a closed community. This course type is ideal for teachers who want to use the platform as a learning tool and have their own students either through an institution or a locality.

Closed Course is also ideal for teacher who want to use mElimu as an Activity platform where they can give assignments, collaborate through forums, messages and live classes.

We are providing four types of closed courses which a teacher can create on the platform and earn by engaging more students in courses. These courses are Crash Course, Short Course, Medium Term Course and Full Year Course. The difference in these courses is the maximum length that these courses can be setup for. Each course has a different platform fee, which you can check here.

mElimu is a Social enterprise and wants teachers to use our platform for free where students can access the learning through any modern web browser. The mobile application is not free.

You can setup a fee for the course which will be collected through mElimu Payment Gateway. mElimu will deduct the payment gateway charges and the platform fee and remit the rest of the money to your mPesa or Paypal account.

Eg: If you have setup a Medium Term course for {amount4000} and a student registers and pays you will receive {amount4000} - {amount500} (mElimu Platform fee) - {amount40} (mPesa Payment Gateway fee) = {amount3460}
