Tiki is a digital learning resource designed to support students with learning difficulties through structured modules, short films and printable worksheets. Tiki follows the Swedish national curriculum for grades 1–9, simplifying complex topics with exercises that combine text, recorded audio and visuals. Sigma Technology is responsible for the platform’s operation, technical support and ongoing development.
The importance of digital tools for an equitable school system
To provide an equitable education for all students in Sweden, tools that support learners with special needs are essential. Tiki is one such tool—a digital platform offering pedagogical modules, short films and classroom materials specifically developed for students with learning difficulties. Each exercise is clearly structured with instructions, read-aloud text and visual supports, making it easier for more students to follow lessons and succeed academically.
Aligned with the Swedish curriculum
Tiki is aligned with the Swedish national curriculum for grades 1–9 across subjects such as natural sciences, social studies, Swedish, English and mathematics. The platform helps teachers create accessible, engaging and inclusive lessons that meet curriculum goals.
Collaboration behind Tiki
Tiki was developed through a collaboration between Sigma Technology Informatics Solutions and Anders Lidén, the founder and driving force behind Tiki Läromedel. With more than 45 years of experience in education—over 20 of which focused on special education—Anders contributes deep pedagogical expertise and creativity to the project. As a visionary and pioneer in inclusive edtech solutions, he continues to shape Tiki into a resource that not only follows the curriculum but also inspires and motivates students through thoughtful design.
Technical development and support
Sigma Technology Informatics Solutions manages the hosting, support and ongoing technical development of the Tiki platform. The team plays a central role in ensuring the solution remains modern, stable and suited to classroom needs.
Expert perspective on Tiki
Erik Hult, an expert at Sigma Technology Informatics Solutions, comments:
– Tiki is more than a learning platform; it is a lifeline for students who need an alternative way of learning. With digital tools like this, we help bridge gaps and promote equal opportunities in Swedish classrooms.
A respectful and inclusive learning resource
– From the outset, our aim with Tiki was to create something respectful. Respectful of students who need to work step by step at their own pace, and respectful of teachers who want to follow the curriculum and guide students toward their goals. Sweden has a special curriculum for special education, yet many learning materials have traditionally been simplified versions of mainstream content—often presented in a tone that feels childish. With Tiki we chose a different path. We started from first principles and presented content in a factual, age-neutral manner. Thanks to the digital platform developed and continuously improved in collaboration with Sigma Technology, we feel we have succeeded—and the market response confirms it, says Anders Lidén, founder of Tiki Läromedel in Sweden AB.
The future of digital education in Sweden
As Sweden continues to lead the way in digital education, platforms like Tiki become increasingly important for reaching students who are often left behind by traditional teaching methods. With support from Sigma Technology, Tiki is growing as an inclusive, scalable and effective solution for 21st-century education.
