Scope with context
Digital projects for education
Define how learners, educators, and administrators use the product together.
What your scope should answer
Four areas decide most education scopes. Answer each question before you ask for proposals.
- 01Courses and learning journeysHow do learners move through a course, and where do they start?
- 02Assessments and progress trackingHow is progress measured, and who needs to see it?
- 03Content authoring and accessibilityWho creates the content, and how will you make it accessible?
- 04Institution and learner permissionsWhat can institutions, educators and learners each see and do?
Constraints to resolve early
Age-appropriate privacy, content migration, and unreliable connectivity can affect the first release.
Look for relevant experience
Ask prospective partners to explain a comparable workflow, the tradeoffs they made, and how they tested real-world exceptions. Validate references and the actual team’s availability.
A practical first step
Map one important journey with your operational team. Document current steps, exceptions, data sources and the smallest useful improvement.
