THE PROBLEM

I approached the subject out of a personal inconvenience that my son and I have been dealing with for several years.

Most schools use dedicated apps, but still,

publish the materials on WhatsApp.

Parents and students deal with endless chats in the various WhatsApp groups to find out schedules, homework, etc.

In addition, students avoid being helped by others while doing homework.

Students do not keep a diary and have

difficulties managing time.

RESEARCH

I wanted to check whether students use the targeted apps to find the necessary information.
And are they interested in being helped by friends with their homework?

CONCLUSIONS

1. Students don't use the targeted apps but only WhatsApp.
2. Using WhatsApp is not convenient enough.
3. Teachers do not update the system with information.
4. Most students want to be helped by friends while preparing homework.

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS

Finding out why users don't like the existing options.

I focused on why the 3 major apps that allegedly give solutions to the identified problems are insufficiently used.
At the same time, I tried to find the advantages of WhatsApp that make it very popular among teachers and students.
