Production Technology

The methodology of "design thinking" was used to create several concepts which will serve the teachers in the most efficient and intuitive way. A group of four educators were included in several brainstorming sessions to generate the most accessible and varied solution for communication with the students.

Design Challenge

The challenge for the student-designed product was to create a platform that had to comply with the most stringent accessibility regulations, since its users were on a wide spectrum of disability: from vision or hearing impairment to autism. Issues such as typography sizes, contrast, and color choices were carefully selected and followed by a number of user testings.

Project Duration

The project started in December 2015 and finished in January 2017.

Operation Flow

The product flow consists of three steps: First, the teachers create in the desktop app customized lessons for their students. Then, the students fill the assignments through their tablet app. The students perform the tasks at school or at home, and send the teachers the filled assignments. The teachers receive a report for each student and class, and the extensive data is summarized in a clear and efficient dashboard for the school administrators.

Research

The research objective was to define the personas of the product and understand the accessibility standards. The methodology used was qualitative interviews with special needs teachers, psychologists, and school administrators. Data collection was done on 15/40 of the relevant population. Participants were special needs students and teachers and the key insights that there are three personas and three different platforms to consider. The results of the research created an empowering product for teachers and a powerful and meaningful tool for communicating with their students.

Inspiration

The inspiration for this product came from interviews and observations of special needs students and their teachers. Knowing that special education teachers had little time to create a lesson assignment, it was necessary to design a clear, intuitive, and efficient interface. In addition, because the students were on a wide spectrum of disabilities, it was important for the product to be accessible, functional, and minimalistic as well as aesthetically and appealing.
