The conversation
Don’t stand still. Keep moving, keep progressing.
Alnoor has been with the Institute since 1994, when publishing meant desktop publishing and print. Print brought its own problems: the cost of large runs, shipping to users around the world, storing stock, a single chance to correct content before each run, and the risk of copying. Digital became the plan around 2018, and the pandemic made it urgent. The first build of the IIS Digital Curriculum launched with four interface languages.
He sets out what the Institute needed and what it built with KITABOO: user data held in the EU, 11 interface languages including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu, offline apps for rural users, and a subscription portal with access-code cards. Bhavin describes how the project started in 2020 with a stable platform before new features. JC then demonstrates the platform, and the panel takes questions on languages, sales, AI and measuring engagement.
