TeachAids (pronounced /ˌtiːtʃˈeɪdz/) is a nonprofit social enterprise that develops global health education technology products for HIV/AIDS, concussions, and COVID-19, based on an approach invented through research at Stanford University.[1][2]
The TeachAids software for HIV education, their first area of focus, has been cited as a model health intervention.[3][4] Since the materials bypass issues of stigma, they allow HIV prevention education to be provided to communities where it has previously not been allowed.[5][6] In other communities, the tutorials provide the highest learning effects and comfort rates of any tested educational approach.[7] Their HIV products are animated, interactive software tutorials, developed for individual cultures and languages, and incorporating the voices of celebrities from each region. In India, these include national icons such as Amitabh Bachchan,[8] Shabana Azmi,[9] Nagarjuna[10] and Sudeep Ssanjeev. In Botswana, they include musicians Scar, Zeus, and former President of Botswana, Festus Mogae.[11]
TeachAids operates globally, with its software in use in more than 80 countries.[4] Its materials are made available for free under a Creative Commons License,[12] funded by sponsorships, grants, and donations. Backers include Barclays,[13] Cigna,[14] Covington & Burling,[15] Google, Microsoft, UNICEF,[16] and Yahoo!.
