- The ratio of children to daycare workers is relatively small, so and the daycare workers can must make custom submissions for each child
- Parents will be able to keep up with the flow of updates as they come
If the ratio of children to daycare workers is small, the daycare workers would be able to go through the list of kids multiple times a day filling out the new custom information each time. Furthermore, if parents can keep relatively on top of all of the updates as they come, they would not need to organize or filter updates and they would benefit from the simplicity of an all inclusive timeline.
...
- Each page for the daycare worker has only one functionality, making it easy to know where to go for what
- Selecting children and adding information for each child consists mostly of just searching for the child and inserting the necessary information
- The parents' site consists of just a Feed page where all updates appear in a timeline and an Analysis page where they can visualize the data
Disadvantages:
- There are inconsistencies among how data is submitted among the different pages in the daycare worker's app
- The daycare workers cannot see how the parents get their information, so it delays learning about how their actions affect the parents' feeds
- The parents might not know what is best to analyze in the Analysis section and thus the feature would be uselesswould not know how to take advantage of this feature
Efficiency:
Advantages:
- If there are relatively few children per daycare worker and detailed updates are necessary, the modularity of the pages makes it easier to customize information for each child
- All new information pops up to the top of the parents' feeds, so they can always get the most current updates
...
- No real options for daycare workers to update children's information in batches. So if the information is the same for many of children, entering the information child by child would be inefficient
- The parents have no way of organizing or filtering the parents' feeds, if there is too much information it would get cluttered quickly
- In logging the daily report information, the daycare workers need to go through all of the children multiple times (once per feature to enter)Going through and sending custom information child by child might take too much time if there are too many children
Safety:
Advantages:
- Before sharing information, the daycare worker can undo anything that they changed with single clicks
- Tasks are modularized so that daycare workers are forced to do only specific tasks at a time, limiting confusion
- The daycare worker can easily review all of his entries before submission
Disadvantages:
- The daycare worker has workers have no way of seeing what his/her actions cause the parent to see
- They daycare workers have no way of deleting or undoing shared messages
