Digitizing Education Nationwide
The goal was to create digital textbooks used throughout the Republic of Croatia to replace traditional books. The content needed to be interactive, engaging, and accessible on tablets for students of all ages.
Replace traditional textbooks with digital alternatives
Cover complete curriculum for all subjects and grades
Create modular content usable standalone or as complete courses
Ensure accessibility across all Croatian schools
Modular Interactive Learning
We developed digital educational content aligned with the curriculum for each subject and grade. Content is structured modularly—several modules cover the curriculum of each grade, with each module usable independently.
Curriculum-Aligned Content
Content covering the complete curriculum for individual subjects and cross-curricular topics per grade.
Modular Architecture
Flexible modular design allowing complete grade coverage or standalone module usage.
Interactive Elements
Short interactive content with multimedia elements focused on cross-curricular topics.
Tablet-Optimized Experience
Touch-friendly interface designed specifically for student tablet devices.
How educational content was reshaped
Replacing textbooks isn't just a format swap — pedagogical structure and engagement model had to change in parallel.
