TpLEARN, previously called “West Africa Open Education Platform” is a free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)platform for teachers and students in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Gambia, Ghana, and Nigeria. Trained and qualified teachers in Sierra Leone use the platform to publish West African Examinations Council curriculum-based course content. Students in West Africa use the platform to learn and collaborate with their peers and facilitators. Students are able to test their knowledge using West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE), Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), and National Primary School Examination (NPSE) simulation exams consisting of past questions from 2000 to 2019.

West Africa Open Education Platform is owned and operated by TpISENT (SL) Limited. TpISENT is a leading professional services company providing ICT consultancy, management consultancy, technology platforms, software development, User Experience Design in Sierra Leone with over 50 years of combined experience.

TpISENT owns the content created by TpISENT teachers (teachers hired and paid). Where TpISENT does not own the content, full copyright details will be provided. The Platform also uses content that is freely available on the internet for anyone to use.
Digital course content is created by trained and qualified teachers mainly based in Sierra Leone. These teachers are hired by TpISENT to create the content. TpISENT trains the teachers on how to create and publish the content.

The platform is primarily funded by TpISENT today. In the future, we expect to receive funding from friends of TpISENT, volunteers, online donors and any funding agency interested in our work
