What Dithutong is
Dithutong is a freemium online learning platform for people in Botswana who want to learn, teach, and earn. It provides self-paced courses through online streaming in mixed formats, with categories such as Digital Marketing, Teach Online, and Video Production. The service runs on Android and the web, with a responsive design intended for mobile viewing, but courses cannot be viewed offline. Students can pay by credit or debit card in Botswana Pula (BWP). A full refund may be requested within 24 hours of purchase when no more than 20% of a course has been completed. Courses may include completion certificates, although Dithutong describes them as non-accredited and not formally recognized by educational or governmental bodies. Instructors can publish courses without an upfront fee, choose prices, offer free courses, and create promo codes. They retain course ownership and may remove courses. Dithutong charges commission on sales, with its commission structure still being finalized, and currently pays instructors by bank transfer.
