Project Overview

Inspire more writing to build better writers!

Write About is an edtech startup that provides educational services to K-12(Kindergarten to 12 grade) students and their teachers. Focusing primarily on innovative writing, WriteAbout meets the needs of students, teachers and managers on a single platform. Our client was interested in launching an educational application. So he came to us to design and build a SaaS platform that could be used simultaneously in thousands of classrooms. To summarize, we can say that writeabout.com provides many benefits that students can find by studying through.

This enables the integration of the different teaching methods, types of feedback, and collaboration needed to provide effective writing instruction. The web app allows teachers to create virtual classes and use code to add students or import students from Google Classroom. Other features allow teachers to monitor each student's writing progress and provide both verbal and written feedback synchronously and asynchronously. Writeabout.com offers some exciting ideas to inspire students to start writing. This review also discusses the educational use of Writeabout.com in and out of the classroom to develop learner autonomy in the context of self-access and in writing.

Good writing is a long process and requires a lot of practice, so teachers can use writeabout.com to teach writing and motivate students to write. By using this method, teachers can access Writeabout.com, a website that helps students improve writing skills.

Our Approach

Inspire more writing to build better writers!

We tailored to fit the client's specific wish list, and we used an agile system to let everyone know where we headed, and when the client already had their website developed but wanted to add new features and wanted to make it robust and dynamic.

We assigned a dedicated PM from the beginning of the project to make sure that it is supervised by someone knowledgeable and to make sure that team is going on the correct path.

Our Challenges

Lack of time and the knowledge of a half developed system leads the team to face such obstacles!

We needed to build a fast, cost-effective and scalable backend infrastructure supported by a front-end experience that could easily be scaled to different devices and use cases.

When we started working on the project, it was already under development, so it was very difficult for developers to understand existing scenarios without reference and continue to work on a half-developed system.

Customization

We provided the customization based on the users to restrict all the users accessing everything. There were different roles like teachers, students, classroom admin and the cs admin. Teachers get an option to create classes manually or they can use google classroom if required to give students proper classroom experience. Teachers can create the ideas and can share it with the students who have access to view the same. Users also have the authority to follow or unfollow ideas and users the same as social media.

The dashboards are customized as per the user role. Each entity will have different dashboards according to their roles. If a teacher creates an account then it will be verified by the admin first before allowing an anonymous entity to enter into the system to make the portal more secure. Students only can login with the teacher code. Teachers have authority to manage the students account and to remove the account if any student is no longer part of the registered school or classroom.
