The Problem

Apart from meeting the teacher in class, students seldom have the opportunity to communicate with the teacher. According to statistic, only 2% of respondents reported being able to communicate with teachers during their spare time, while 90% had little or no communication outside of class.

Currently, the communication between students and teachers and mainly through language, and text. Methods are including in and after class conversations, emails, course surveys.

How might we design a service that helps communication become more effective between university-level teachers and students?

User Research

A questionnaire was conducted among university-level students. We found 37.1% students are having difficulties in learning but only 4.8% of them would put forward immediately.

79% students think the existing communication channels are not effective and professors don't know students' opinions.

Qualitative Interviews

In order to understand educators' wants and needs, I conducted in-depth interviews with university-level professors. This helped me to know more about their daily life and to find out what is the most important aspect in their career lives.

Teachers value students’ opinions very much. Nowadays students only evaluate the course once a semester after the course ends, but teachers want more instant feedback from students to improve the course whenever they see value in it.

Conceptualization

The service should achieve effective communication, helps teachers to understand students better, but also a place for students to share their ideas. Our users are not only students, but also professors and administrations of the school.
