Learning anywhere, anytime

The J29 Learn Portal

Cohort based online course delivery, built into j29.co.za rather than licensed from a platform vendor. Learners get an access code, learn on whatever device is in front of them, and every lesson and assessment they complete is recorded against their name.

How a cohort runs

Four steps. No app to install, no learner account to create, and nothing that only works on one kind of device.

1

The cohort gets its code

J29 issues one code per cohort, with a start date, an end date and a cap on how many learners may redeem it. Your programme team hands it out as people enrol, or we do it for you. Separate cohorts stay separate, so a corporate programme and a public intake never mix.

2

The learner enters it once

Name, email, code. No password to forget and no account to recover. The same code and email opens the course again on a second device, so a learner can start on a phone and carry on at a desk.

3

They learn on the device they choose

Phone, tablet, laptop or a shared PC: the lessons and the progress are the same on every screen. Short video lessons, a practical exercise in every module and a quiz that marks itself. Learners pick up where they left off.

4

You get the participation record

Every lesson completed, every exercise submitted and every quiz score is recorded per learner. That is the evidence a funder asks for at the end of a programme, captured as it happens rather than reconstructed afterwards.

The evidence

What gets recorded

Progress is captured per learner, per lesson, as it happens. Nothing depends on a learner remembering to mark themselves complete or a facilitator filling in a register afterwards.

  • Which lessons each learner has completed, and when
  • Quiz scores per module, marked automatically
  • Practical exercises submitted for each module
  • Last active date, so a stalled learner can be followed up
  • Capstone submission and completion

Set up per cohort

The record is shaped to your programme, not the other way round. Before a cohort starts we agree which milestones matter to you, how often you want a progress report, and what the final participation record needs to show, whether that is for a funder, a programme sponsor or your own board.

The programme data sits in J29's own systems and can be exported in full at any time. No third-party platform licence or seat fee is built into the price of a cohort.

Mobile first, never mobile only

Built for how the learning actually happens

A course that has to work on a phone in a taxi and on a laptop at a desk, for the length of a programme and long after it.

A phone, not a classroom

Every page is built for a small screen first. Lessons are short enough to finish between other work, and progress is kept so a learner can stop and come back.

Laptop, tablet or PC

The same course opens in any modern browser, with nothing to install. A learner who starts on a phone in the morning can carry on at a desk in the afternoon, and their progress is already there.

A weak signal, not fibre

Video quality adapts to the connection. A learner on a poor signal gets a lower resolution stream that keeps playing rather than a high resolution one that stalls, and uses less of their data doing it.

Closed to everyone else

Course pages are checked on every request before anything loads, and the video itself will only play on j29.co.za. A link shared outside the cohort does not open the course.

What the Learn Portal gives your programme

Cohorts

One code per cohort, with dates and a cap on redemptions. Your intake stays separate from every other, and you decide who gets in.

Reporting

Lessons, quiz scores and exercises recorded per learner as they happen, shaped to the milestones your programme needs to evidence.

Cost

Built in house, so there is no third-party platform licence or seat fee built into the price. Cohorts are scoped to your programme, and the data is yours to export.

Access

Phone, tablet or laptop, on a weak signal or a good one, with nothing to install and no password for a learner to lose.

You bring the cohort, we bring the platform. From the first access code to the final participation record, J29 runs the course, tracks the progress and reports it back to you in the format your programme needs.

The Learn Portal: common questions

What is the J29 Learn Portal?

J29's own online course platform, built into j29.co.za. A cohort gets an access code, learners study on any device, and every lesson, exercise and quiz is recorded against the learner's name.

Do learners need an account or an app?

No. A learner enters a name, an email address and the cohort code. The same code and email open the course again on another device, so someone can start on a phone and carry on at a desk.

What does the participation record show?

Which lessons each learner completed and when, quiz scores per module, exercises submitted, the last active date, and the capstone submission. It is captured as it happens and can be exported in full.

Does it work on a phone with a weak signal?

Yes. Every page is built for a small screen first, and the video quality adapts to the connection so it keeps playing rather than stalling.

Is there a platform licence or seat fee?

No. The portal is built in house, so no third party licence or seat fee is built into the price of a cohort. Cohorts are quoted for your programme and the data is yours.

Is the online course an accredited qualification?

No. AI Made Simple is a practical short course (10 modules, 42 short video lessons, an exercise and quiz in every module, and a capstone) with a participation record for each learner. J29's accredited training is delivered separately as an accredited MICT SETA training provider.
