How DAS uses Orangedox to Organise Teaching Resources

About DAS (Dyslexia Association of Singapore) 

The Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS) is a leading social service agency dedicated to supporting individuals who learn differently, including those with dyslexia.  

With 12 learning centres across Singapore, DAS provides specialised assessment, intervention, education and outreach services to help learners access the support they need to achieve their potential. Across its programmes, DAS works closely with educators, families and the wider community to build a more inclusive learning environment.

The Challenge 

As DAS continues to support a wide community of learners across multiple centres and programmes, access to well-organised teaching resources is an important part of ensuring consistency and quality in lesson planning. 

Before adopting Orangedox, DAS did not face a critical issue with sharing sensitive documents externally. Instead, the organisation identified an opportunity to improve how internal teaching resources were managed and accessed. 

There was a growing need for a centralised platform where teachers’ worksheets could be stored, organised, and monitored. In particular, DAS wanted better visibility into how frequently resources were being accessed and downloaded, as well as a more efficient way for educators to locate materials for lesson planning. 

Why Orangedox 

To address this need, DAS explored several digital platforms. Orangedox stood out as a suitable option due to its ease of use, intuitive interface, and clean presentation. These features were helpful for educators who required a simple and efficient way to access teaching materials. 

Integration with Google Drive was also a key factor in the decision-making process, as it allowed DAS to seamlessly connect existing resources with the new platform without disrupting current workflows. 

How DAS Uses Orangedox 

Currently, DAS uses Orangedox primarily to store and share teachers’ worksheets across its learning centres. These resources support lesson planning and classroom instruction, enabling educators to quickly access materials when needed.

The platform is used by teachers across different departments, creating a shared space for collaboration and resource discovery.

The Results 

Since adopting Orangedox, DAS has seen a meaningful improvement in resource accessibility. Teachers now have a centralised platform where they can easily browse, download, and utilise worksheets to supplement their lessons. This has been helpful for educators who need quick access to materials or are looking for ideas to enhance their teaching. 

While formal usage data is still being collected, early observations indicate that the platform has made it more convenient for teachers to support their lesson planning needs. 

Recommendation

DAS would recommend Orangedox to other nonprofit and educational organisations looking for a user friendly and efficient way to manage and share resources. Its simplicity, integration capabilities, and accessibility make it a valuable tool for supporting collaboration and resource sharing among educators.
