Solutions for the Planet work with students across the UK to coordinate them to work on interesting ideas that solve global problems.
Solutions for the Planet approached us as COVID had affected their entire business model. All of their work had previously been undertaken in the classroom on a person to person basis and now everything would have to move online and fast.
After we had analysed their processes we designed a system to allow teachers to communicate and work with students. Our solution also allowed students to work together online.
We had to work quickly to integrate new features into an existing website. This meant that there had to be an element of flexibility as well as compromise.
The team worked quickly and effectively by reusing their existing website and adding in functionality. Immediately, all students and teachers were able create online accounts, log in to their team area, upload documents about the project and discuss ideas in team forums. Also, we added a notice board as part of the solution. It was a place where staff could easily communicate new info to all students in one place.
Have you had to move swiftly online to continue trading as a result of COVID? If you need help to streamline your offering and make it more user friendly, please get in touch.
