Edraak is an initiative of the Queen Rania Foundation for education development to deliver free high quality online courses to the Arabic-speaking world. The platform, is built on edX open source technology and features over 76 different courses in various topics covering Business, Health, STEM, Education, Employment skills and more.
As well as offering original Arabic courses developed by QRF, Edraak also gives Arab learners access in Arabic to courses taught and developed at top tier institutions like HarvardX, MITX, and UC BerkelyX through its partnership with edX. All courses are delivered at no cost to the learner, and anyone with an internet connection can sign.
Courses are made up of recorded video lectures, assignments and tests and each has its own discussion forum to ask questions and share knowledge. A completion certificate is issued on successful completion of a course.
More recently, in partnership with Google,org, the site also started offering free open educational resources in Arabic for school-aged learners and teachers designed to align with national curricula in the MENA region.
