Think Academy — One Connected Service for Families, Students, Teachers and Operations

Think Academy provides personalised coaching for students from Years 1 to 13 across core subjects and New Zealand secondary curricula. As the education service grows, parents, students, teachers and the operations team each need tools that fit their part in the learning journey. We are building four connected products across iOS, Android and web, so every group has a clear place to work without staff having to run four separate systems behind the scenes.

01THE CHALLENGE

One education service, four very different ways of using it

Parents, students, teachers and the operations team do not need the same screens or tools. Parents and students need clear mobile experiences, teachers need to work from both a computer and a phone, and operations needs a dedicated web workspace. The challenge is to make each product useful for its audience while keeping everyone part of the same service.

  • Parents and students each need a mobile experience designed around their own role
  • Teachers need the same familiar experience across web, iOS and Android
  • Operations needs a dedicated workspace rather than family or student screens reused for internal work
  • Information and changes need to stay aligned, so staff do not maintain the same records in several places
02OUR APPROACH

Four focused products that work as one service

We are creating a separate product for each group and making sure the four experiences stay connected. Familiar navigation and wording make the service easier to learn, while each group can focus on the information and next steps relevant to them.

03What We're Building

What We're Building

For parents

  • Dedicated iOS and Android apps created as a parent experience
  • A clear family experience without student, teacher or internal tools getting in the way

For students

  • Dedicated iOS and Android apps shaped around the student experience
  • The same familiar experience on iPhone and Android phones as the learning service grows

For teachers

  • One set of teacher tools available on web, iOS and Android
  • A familiar way of working whether teachers are using a computer or a phone

For operations

  • A web workspace for the team that keeps the wider service running
  • Room for internal work without crowding the apps used by families, students and teachers

Four products that stay in step

  • Each group sees information and actions suited to its responsibilities
  • Navigation and wording stay familiar across the four products
  • Changes are planned across phone and web so every group moves forward together

Projects serving several audiences benefit from one clear delivery plan. See how we approach custom software development in Auckland.
