Edutalkz is an online professional learning platform dedicated to educators. Built on an established and robust digital platform, Edutalkz offers a range of high-quality learning content with multilingual subtitle capability, easy access on any device and the convenience of learning anytime and anywhere.
Educators can register for free access to CPD-accredited talks covering:
- Curriculum support

- Leadership and professional growth
All in one place, on one platform.
This breadth of content, combined with flexible and convenient access, ensures that Edutalkz supports the needs of teachers working across South Africa’s diverse education landscape.
Learning without language barriers
Language should never be a barrier to professional growth.
Edutalkz offers multilingual subtitle functionality across all recorded sessions, enabling educators to learn in the language they understand best. Subtitles are available in multiple languages, including isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sepedi and Afrikaans, with additional languages supported through the platform’s translation technology.
This makes Edutalkz the first multilingual CPD platform for educators in the region.

Designed for scale. Built for access.
Edutalkz is designed to work at scale while remaining intuitive and easy to use.
The growing on-demand library ensures that teachers are never left behind. Miss a session, need a refresher, or want to explore a new topic? The content is always available.
The rationale
Global research consistently shows that teacher quality is the single most important in-school factor influencing learner outcomes. A meta-analysis by the OECD notes that improving teacher professional learning has a greater impact on learner achievement than reducing class size.
Yet, in South Africa, teachers face immense pressure: adapting to evolving curricula, diverse learning needs, and overcrowded classrooms. Edutalkz exists to close this gap by providing a national, scalable solution that equips teachers with resilience and practical tools.
Built on a proven model
Edutalkz is not an experiment; it is built on the robust infrastructure of Medtalkz, a well-established platform for medical professionals that has grown to more than 39,000 registered users.
By replicating this model—which already houses a library of over 1,700 accredited lectures—we are bringing weekly high-quality CPD webinars and expert-led talks to the education sector. We know this model works at scale.
Beyond translation
Research from UNESCO and the World Bank affirms that learning in one’s home language deepens comprehension and improves teaching performance.
By offering content in languages including isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sepedi, and Afrikaans, we ensure that complex pedagogical concepts are fully understood and retained, boosting teacher confidence across linguistic divides.
Vital & scalable
Teachers are often unable to attend in-person workshops due to cost and geographic constraints. Online learning removes these barriers.
- Anytime Access: Live or on-demand viewing creates a library for lifelong learning.
- Mobile First: Optimised for phones, ensuring access in rural and low-resource settings.
- Cost-Effective: Edutalkz remains free to teachers, ensuring no educator is excluded due to financial constraints.
