Additional support
Learning Equality has created the Kolibri Edtech Toolkit, a customizable and adaptable set of resources to support understanding of use in a diverse set of contexts, including pedagogical and technical guidance for incorporating Kolibri into an educational program and creating effective learning environments.
Please note that the resources in our toolkit have not been updated to reflect v0.11 features yet.
