For schools and universities

How Olayn Education works

The Islamic Studies books, with practice online. Students read in the Olayn Reader app and practice in the browser. Teachers assign, mark and follow every student.

For teachers

Assign

Pick a lesson, practice or homework, set the due date. Quizzes are coming.

A looping demo of New assignment: the teacher picks Lesson 2, then Homework, presses Assign to Section 1-A, and “Assigned to Section 1-A” appears.

New assignment.

Automatic marking

Matching, multiple choice, true or false and fill-in answers mark themselves the moment a student checks.

Answered on the page, marked by Olayn’s server.

The review queue

Tracing, drawing and writing wait in one queue, oldest first.

A score, a comment, then Save and next.

The gradebook

Every score in one table, a color band per lesson. Arrows and edge shadows show more lessons to the side; a picker hides the ones you do not need.

Your own questions

Coming: add questions to a lesson for your class. Safeguards: a pledge before the first one, the book’s activities can’t be edited, and a report button for students.

Several questions at once.

For students

Read in the app

The week’s pages, in the Olayn Reader app.

The student's home on a phone: this week's lesson, with Read and Practice.

Practice, with a second try

Instant feedback: how many parts are right. A second try after 30 seconds, then the right answers.

A looping demo, sped up, of a matching question her teacher added, on a phone: the student matches three animals to the surahs named after them and presses Check; “Not quite, 1 of 3 right” and a hint appear; during the wait she changes two matches, tries again, and it reads “All right, 3 of 3”.

Sped up.

Marks

Scores and the teacher’s comments, as soon as they are saved.

The student's Marks: each activity's score.

Tracing, drawing and writing: the teacher scores them. Any score can be changed.

The Reader app and page protection

Book pages open only in the Olayn Reader app, never in the browser. The browser shows the course: assignments, questions, answers and grades.

A looping demo on a Windows desktop with a browser and the Olayn Reader open: a screen capture is taken, and the capture shows the browser but nothing where the Reader’s window is.

Screen capture

On Windows: a capture shows nothing where the Reader is.
  • Windows leaves the Reader’s window out of screenshots, screen recordings and screen sharing. Measured on 18 September 2026.

  • The path is Android’s FLAG_SECURE setting, under which screenshots and recordings come out black. Claimed once it passes its tests on two phones.

  • No claim yet.

Security

The Reader turns off copying, printing and saving. Every page carries your school’s mark, and every page opened is recorded against the account that opened it. A leaked copy traces back to the school and its access record, and access can be revoked.

Joining and seats

With a code

Coming: the school adds its own students and teachers.

A looping demo of joining: a student types the class code RAHMA-BBAQ, then her name, Aisha R., and gets a username and a PIN; and our admin page for Sample University, where a purchase of 50 books gave 50 student seats, goes from 49 to 50 of 50 seats in use, and an alert comes in: Sample University needs more books, 1 student waiting.

Joining takes a seat from the books bought.
  • A student types the class code and her name, and gets a username and a PIN.
  • A teacher joins with an invitation code; the school’s owner with an owner code.
  • Codes leave out letters that look alike (0, O, 1, I, L). A teacher can switch hers off or make a new one.
  • Student: class code

    A student types the class code and her name, and gets a username and a PIN. Codes leave out letters that look alike (0, O, 1, I, L). A teacher can switch hers off or make a new one.

  • Teacher: invitation code
  • Owner: owner code

Seats come with the books

The school buys from us, and each book gives a seat.

  • 1Student setOne student seat for a term. The Textbook with the Activity Book.
  • 1Teacher’s ManualOne professor seat that stays, for every class the professor teaches.

A student in two classes of the same book uses one seat.

What a school gains

  • Less marking by hand. Answers that mark themselves are marked at once; the teacher scores only tracing, drawing and writing.
  • Practice that asks, not only rereads. Answering questions after reading helps students remember longer than reading again [1].
  • Feedback on every try. The count of right parts at once, and the full answers when the tries end.
  • One place for every mark, with comments students read.
  • Book pages kept in the Reader app.
  • Seats that follow the books. One seat for each book bought, by term, and a professor’s seat that stays.
