Homeschool Digital Helper

I'm grouped up with a couple of my classmates for a class project. We need to consult on a digital transformation for a business and give them guidance on navigating the change. 

So, we have decided to be a private consulting firm that was hired by a smaller Home School Service Organization to offer them a solution that will help them remain competitive, versatile, and adaptable in today’s technologically driven world.

Our plan is to offer our client a multi-level solution. One that includes having an online integrated platform via the homeschool site and a phone app that can be downloaded by parents and children that can provide a multitude of functions such as:

• Allow for community discussions, etc. that allow families to find easy answers to homeschool questions.
• Allow for a kid’s space for kids to discuss and interact with other homeschool kids of the same age and with the same interests.
• Provide a “spaced practice” or quizzing opportunity for homeschool parents to design, leverage quizzes from other parents, and deliver to their kid’s smartphones for reinforcement and practice of course material they just reviewed, etc.

Provide a schedule and course management tool to track progress along the years. 

This is our opinion and data based on potential research findings would appeal to homeschoolers because there has been an increase in homeschooling numbers sense covid and homeschooling organizations may not have this level of support and innovation that is needed to keep up with the growing community. In addition, this service can provide a better quality of homeschooling by gaining more socialization from other homeschoolers using the app and providing another reinforcement mechanism such as smartphone-delivered micro-learning quizzes to homeschoolers beyond just standard quizzes and tests.

Homeschooler parents are generally more independent than most and might love the idea of being able to create their own quizzes for their kids and being able to share what they have created with other parents, in part or in whole. There is an impression that homeschooled kids do not get the social interactions that traditional school kids get because they are not taking part in traditional educational settings. The platform and app will allow for chat and discussion between homeschool kids to overcome the lack of socialization which is important for development.

Larger homeschool organizations may already have something like this, so our role as consultants is to provide a platform that gives smaller homeschool organizations a competitive advantage by helping them keep up with the larger organizations, and opening this up with pricing models designed to allow for non-regular subscribers to enjoy the same community aspects and spaced practice/long term memory development aspects of the platform/app.
