User Research
Challenge
How can we design a product which can help teachers organize their plans more conveniently and allow easy communication among each other? Are there already products for this & what can we learn from them.
Solution
Create an easily accessible app which doubles as a planner and a central hub for assignments. Which sends written info to other commonly used school apps.

User Research Take-Aways
-
Many of the older teachers are not as tech-savvy as the younger one, hence will likely require additional UI assistance.
-
There are planning apps available in the market, but none of them are directly targeted towards teachers. Meaning this is an untapped market.
-
Education is often affiliated with growth, same with the color green. So Ideally try to implement it into our color scheme.
-
Prioritize inclusive design due to the cover both teacher markets
UI Design
How do we incorporate inclusive UI design to give all teachers a comfortable user experience. Along with encourage them to continue using our app to communicate.
Challenge
Solution
Minimize navigation to avoid information overload by loading the planning screen immediately after logging in. Have the calendar visually display planned dates, unplanned & possible overlapping assignments. Utilize soft colors along with green to symbolize growth.
