Ten Features Makes Quran University Unique
1- Utilizing Asynchronous communication to overcome time barrier
Asynchronous Communication Tool
Time difference between you & your teacher wouldn’t be a barrier preventing you from learning anymore. Thanks to our new invention, our (Asynchronous Communication Tool) would allow you to communicate with your teacher regardless of how far your time zones are.
Tool Objective; facilitates student-teacher communication despite of time-zone differences
- Through such tool, teacher would be able to send homework/assignments to his students & track their performance, providing each student a deadline to deliver the assignment within.
- After a student receives assignment, he/she interacts with the assignment related verses utilizing the study tools, then record his/her recitation of the assignment verses, & upload it so that it would be corrected by the teacher.
- As teacher receives the student’s recording, he/she would mark the location of student’s mistake on the Quran page, then at both text and recorded audio comments. Then teacher would send the report back to the student.
- As student receives teacher’s remarks, he/she would now act accordingly attempting to fix previous mistakes, then resend the fixed new assignment recording.
- Such process would be repeated till the students performance is considered satisfactory by the teacher, where they would proceed to the following assignment.
With Asynchronous communication, day and night differences and longitude differences between student and teacher will not be a barrier to communication between them
