mVuli Academy’s own Social Learning Platform, very similar to Facebook, adds a new dimension to digital education by engaging various stakeholders in a collaborative way to enhance the delivery of education for the modern technology-savvy generation of students. When students register on mVuli Academy, a personal account is created giving them their personalised profile, timelines, forums, activities, charts, messages, groups, notifications, etc. They can join study groups and interact with their group members, mentors, tutors, etc. Only registered and logged-in students in Fiji can access the courses.

mVuli Academy uses a professional Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver courses, lessons and assessments. It also generates reports, monitor progress, gives certifications to manage the teaching and learning process. The LMS, coupled with social learning functionalities, provides a very engaging educational ecosystem.

mVuli Academy has acquired the full mCurriculum and Primary Mathematics packages from Learnetic, a renowned European digital education content developer. The course contents and presentations are of a very high standard and challenge the students to get a feel of the international standards in education. The mVuli courses are especially recommended for students who aspire to study and work globally in future.

The mVuli subject packages are assembled in such a way as to give full freedom and flexibility to the students to learn at their own pace and according to their own capacity. For example, the Primary Maths package consists of 12 courses covering grades 1 to 6. Thus, fast learners are not held back from proceeding to the higher level courses while students needing revision have the freedom to access lessons from the lower grade until they are ready to move to the next level.

Each course has a large number of lessons. Each lesson has multiple pages. Each page has texts, audio and video presentations on the topic, followed by activities and self-assessments for the students to immediately find out if they have grasped the concepts correctly. At the end of the lesson, the students get a summary of their performance. Students may repeat the lessons before moving on or return to revise them. All data is saved on the Learning Record System (LRS) which generates infographics and feedback for teachers and parents to intervene if needed to support the student. Detailed performance results are visible at both individual lesson or course levels.

mVuli Academy offers and promotes a group learning environment. Groups can only be formed by sponsors,  registered teachers or group leaders who can then invite their students to join the group and manage their activities. Thus, parents, teachers and sponsors can now form their own online groups to collaborate in the learning process. Students are informed that anyone who uses these social learning features for non-education purposes will be suspended from the groups.

With the above student-centred learning, the role of teachers is changed to learning-guides, mentors, moderators and facilitators of the learning process. Teachers can give assignments from the mVuli lessons to support the classwork in school and follow the performance of the students in their assessment. This will enable teachers to quickly identify which students need additional support and specifically in which topics.
