Guide to Building Outstanding Educational Apps
Educational apps have become an integral part of learning in today's tech-savvy world. They're tools that can make learning engaging, interactive, and fun for students of all ages. Building an educational app is a complex process that requires a clear understanding of educational principles, rigorous app development, and effective marketing. The idea behind an educational app often originates from a gap in the education system or the need to make learning more accessible and interactive. The idea then goes through several stages of transformation to become an application that users can benefit from.
Creating an outstanding educational app demands not just a good grasp of technology and design, but also a deep understanding of your target audience, in this case, the learners. Understanding learners and their needs is a critical step in designing an app that serves a purpose and resonates with them. Incorporating elements of design thinking - empathy, ideation, prototyping, and testing - will help ensure the app is well-received by its users. An outstanding app must meet a real educational need, provide a simple and intuitive user interface, and deliver consistent educational value.
Design Match x Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Design Match recently teamed up with the Bill and Melina Gates Foundation to create an equity-driven application to help their partner Secondary Institutions write better RFP proposals. In writing better proposals for software, the institutions have a better chance to procure the best software to engage and help their student population.
This project was completed using Design Match Studio. We matched the total of two designers and four engineers.
