Design 1 – Online chat
This interface is extremely simple and efficient. It could be used in tiny screens

  • The first image shows the initial screen. This is what Teacher Tammy would see after logging in. She would now see that she has a new message from Busy Brenda. 
  • After clicking on Brenda’s conversation, her history of messages with Brenda would be displayed. This is shown in the second image. Teacher Tammy would reply to Busy Brenda. She would be able to text her regarding Sarah’s progress/grades/behavior or to share with her educational material.


Design 2 – Social Network
 
This design would allow teachers to communicate with their student’s parents and it would also provide them with a platform to keep track of their student’s grades, behavior, and overall progress.

  • It would have a messages page where teachers and parents would be able to send messages to each other. Busy Brenda could use page to schedule a conversation with Teacher Tammy.
  • Furthermore, teachers would be able to share their student’s grades, and comments about them with their parents. At the end of each day, Teacher Tammy could write about Sarah’s progress and share her observations with Brenda.

Design 3 – Personalized Communicator
 
In order for this interface to work, Busy Brenda would initially choose whether she prefers to be reached by SMS or by Email. The day Busy Brenda would find out about Sarah’s math failure, she would either send an SMS or an Email to Teacher Tammy. This program would collect all the SMSs and emails sent by Teacher Tammy’s student’s parents.

  • After logging into the interface Tammy would see all the new notifications, as shown in the first picture. She would see a message from Brenda attempting to schedule a conversation. She would type her response and then click send. The program would know whether to send it to Brenda’s email to by SMS to her phone.
  • In order to keep Brenda updated about Sarah’s behavior and grades, or share educational tools with her, Teacher Tammy would type a new message to Busy Brenda, who would definitely receive the message as she would receive it via her prefered mean.
  • No labels
