Binogi is a multilingual digital teaching aid with short, animated video lessions whose content covers the curriculum for upper secondary school. Students watch the videos on a computer, tablet or mobile phone, either individually or together in class. Each video also includes quizzes, so that both students and teachers can follow up and control the learning.
The videos are short, entertaining and structured so that the students will be captured and want to see the video to the end. Each lesson is knowledge-intensive, but written in a way that does not overwhelm the student with new information and new terms. The language is easily accessible even for students with weak Swedish, which means that the videos suit everyone, while the information-dense but short format means that even students with difficulty focusing for a longer period of time can watch the video attentively until the end. Swedish-born students can choose to listen to English or one of their modern languages for further language training.
Newly arrived young people can choose to listen to their own mother tongue. This means that they can enter the Swedish school from day one. At the same time as they have the opportunity to absorb the content of the lesson in their strongest language, the videos facilitate the learning of Swedish, as the student himself can choose a combination of languages in both sound and subtitle. Over time, students usually switch to listening to Swedish and taking support from the subtitles in their mother tongue. The speed of the films can also be adjusted, for students who want to listen at a slower pace.
