What
Design ways to improve learning outcomes for primary school students attending classes online amidst the Covid pandemic. Due to a lack of face-to-face engagement, younger students are having trouble learning, & retaining information. We aim to discover the pain points resulting from distance learning and through these findings, prototype a system that will provide better learning outcomes and a more engaging schooling experience for students & their teachers.
Who
Primary school children taking classes online. Their teachers.
Research
I set out to gain insights on how learning had changed for primary school students. During this process, I conducted 8 interviews with 4 primary school parents & 4 primary school teachers.
Solution
Introduce gamification into live class sessions, as well as in between classes. Have students create personal avatars to promote self-expression and on-screen socialization/ collaboration between students.
