Teaching Application Development

To research, ideate, and build a system which is able to make everyday tasks easier for teachers. The system should also be able to provide content which can help them in their professional development. Since the problem statement was quite open-ended, We followed the design thinking process. The process helped us gain insights on different “whats, whys and hows” throughout the different phases of the project.

Understanding the Users

User Interviews: Telephone interviews of around 14 teachers were conducted. Tasks involved creating a non-leading and open-ended questionnaire, interviewing and discussions, and analysing the information found out in the interview.

Personas: To make use of these insights further into the design process, user personas were created. User Personas helped us empathise with the target audience and guide the decisions in further stages of the project. A persona consisted of Bio, Devices, Goals, Motivations, Frustrations, and Technological knowledge.

User Stories: User Stories are actionable statements which can be useful to ideate features in earlier stages and also to provide the development team a rationale behind why these features were created when the integration begins. Over 50 user stories were created for teachers, some of them are as follows:

The Ideation

Brainstorming: Creating, discussing and noting down various concepts, Features, and expected flows.

The Composition

Wireframing: Creating wireframes for multiple solutions and discussing them with the team and the stakeholders
