AI learning Progress insights Classroom support

To understand how teachers manage their daily classroom activities, we spoke with educators across different classroom contexts. The goal was to uncover how they currently handle attendance, assignments, and communication, and identify gaps in their existing workflows. These conversations helped us move beyond assumptions and understand the real challenges teachers face in their day-to-day routines.

Teachers switch between registers, notebooks, and messaging platforms to manage different tasks, breaking their workflow.

Attendance and assignment tracking often require duplicate effort, making simple tasks time-consuming.

There’s no quick way to get a clear view of student progress or pending actions in one place.

Updates to parents are often inconsistent or delayed due to reliance on manual methods.

To address these challenges, we designed a unified classroom management experience that brings attendance, assignment tracking, and communication into one place. The goal was to reduce context switching and manual effort by creating a clear starting point for daily tasks, simplifying key actions, and enabling timely communication. By surfacing important actions and insights in a single view, the solution helps teachers stay organized and manage their classrooms with more clarity and less friction.

Core Modules

The product is divided into four main modules so teachers can move from overview to action without leaving the same workflow.

Module 01

Assign

A focused classwork flow that helps teachers create, organize, and manage assignments from setup to final review.

Designing this classroom management system made me realise that the real challenge isn’t feature complexity, but the number of decisions teachers make every day. The product needed to support performance tracking, attendance, assignments, behaviour, and communication without overwhelming them.

A key learning was the importance of clear mental models. Structuring the experience into a simple flow—assign → track → understand → act—made the system more intuitive and easier to navigate across modules, whether it was tracking performance, monitoring attendance, or communicating with parents.

I also learned that data is only valuable when it drives action. Highlighting insights like “Needs Attention” isn’t enough—teachers need clear next steps, whether it’s following up on low attendance, assigning extra practice, or reaching out to parents.

Finally, this project reinforced how information hierarchy and small UI details like status tags, filters, and visual cues play a big role in reducing cognitive load and helping teachers quickly move between tracking, insights, and communication.
