The mission of Teach for Romania is to provide teachers with the right means and tools to establish a solid connection with students.
In partnership with the UiPath Foundation, they came up with the initiative of a SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) web application that our team of web developers had the honor of transforming from an idea to reality.
Edustart is offered free of charge, and it represents their way of bringing their know-how to the educational system.
Our client needed a platform to incorporate tested and substantiated solutions by their team of education professionals, focused on measuring and improving the socio-emotional skills (SEL) of students by class groups.
Teach for Romania is an education leadership program that seeks systemic changes in the educational process. It involves providing competent staff, trained to achieve an inclusive high-quality educational process, to schools located in vulnerable communities.
Their leadership education model inspires and grows teachers who encourage self-esteem and confidence in children living in disadvantaged areas.
Teach for Romania in partnership with the UiPath Foundation laid the foundations of a project that helps teachers assess the SEL levels of each class of students and adapt the teaching activities so that all children can develop the socio-emotional skills (SEL) needed to thrive in society.
We welcomed their initiative with open arms and with great enthusiasm, and we gathered together the necessary details to start working on Edustart.
The intended end-users are both students and teachers as well as school principals and institutions involved in public or private education in Romania. With this in mind, the main objective was to build an application as intuitive as possible, to allow simplified access and different data flows according to roles and permissions.
Based on our client's brief, we defined together the milestones and we selected the optimal alternatives for carrying out the general tasks in order to deliver results.
We made sure all our client's organization values will be found in the concept of the new platform.
The next step was to allocate a development team, plan the project stages together with the project manager and assign the respective tasks.
In order for our team to be able to respond quickly to any required changes, it was agreed that the deliverables would be evaluated continuously according to the planned stages, from monitoring and testing, until launch day.
The continuous communication flow between the project manager, the development team and the client as well as their detailed feedback are the main factors that led to a successful completion of the application.
Working with the teach for Romania team was a great experience. They were always prompt in replies, they knew exactly what they wanted from this application from the very beginning and they were very receptive to our suggestions and ideas to improve functionality. The end result is a powerful and intuitive web application that will hopefully be of great help to both students and teachers.
As a web designer in this project, I enjoyed working on the Edustart showcase website and learned a lot from it. The Teach for Romania team provided quality feedback and together we managed to create a clean, attractive and, most importantly, easy to use application.
In order to create a versatile platform, we chose to develop the application in Laravel, and for the design and UX part we used technologies like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, PHP.
Our collaboration with Royalsoft was an excellent one, with delivery of results beyond expectations. We noticed the orientation towards the usability of the product, the speed of response and the proposal of very pertinent solutions adapted to our needs.
