How might we simplify and enhance the homeschooling experience for students, teachers, and parents?

How might we simplify and enhance the homeschooling experience for students, teachers, and parents?

With the pandemic, many parents in USA and Europe need support with home schooling. The year 2020 has been challenging for education. The world crisis caused by the spread of coronavirus has impacted the lives of everyone and changed patterns of living. Education has been greatly affected by an unpredictable reality of changing the conceptualisation of home education. Educademy aims to ease the workflow of all stakeholders - parents, teachers, and students by providing personalised dashboards.

Personalised Dashboards

Personalised Dashboards

Separate dashboards tailored for parents, students, and instructors to address the unique needs of each stakeholder. The instructor dashboard focuses on managing assignments, classes, and student progress, while the student dashboard emphasizes access to assignments and resources for independent learning. The parent dashboard enables oversight of their child's progress.

What challenges do parents, students, and educators face during the homeschooling process?

What challenges do parents, students, and educators face during the homeschooling process?

Homeschooling offers tailored educational approaches, enabling students to learn at their own pace, explore personalized interests, and address individual learning needs. Parents often appreciate the flexibility it provides, especially for accommodating travel, family schedules, or unique developmental milestones.

Challenges include maintaining consistent motivation, ensuring socialization opportunities, and managing the diverse educational requirements effectively. Some families struggle with access to structured curricula or resources. Homeschooling also highlights the importance of emotional well-being and adaptability in education, with parents playing a crucial role in nurturing a supportive environment that fosters self-discipline and resilience in children.

The design process progressed from initial sketches and paper wireframes to digital wireframes, with multiple iterations leading to a polished final prototype. The paper wireframes laid the foundation for exploring core functionalities and user flows, enabling quick brainstorming and visualization. These concepts were translated into digital wireframes, where user testing and feedback informed iterative improvements to address usability issues and refine interface elements.

The project taught me to balance user needs with strategic prioritization of features.

The "Educademy" project was an enriching experience that enhanced my ability to balance user needs with functional goals, ensuring the solution aligns with real-world challenges in homeschooling. Conducting extensive research, creating personas, and mapping user journeys emphasized the importance of understanding diverse stakeholders.

The project taught me the value of leveraging user stories to identify and prioritize features effectively. By stepping into the users’ perspectives, I was able to clearly define their needs and objectives, which helped guide the design process. Using the MoSCoW method, I classified features into "Must-Have," "Should-Have," "Could-Have," and "Won’t-Have" categories, ensuring a strategic approach to resource allocation and feature implementation. This process honed my ability to focus on high-impact features first, balancing user needs with project constraints and delivering a meaningful, efficient solution.
