Project Examples

Requirements

Differentiated Math Instruction Research Project

Description: A school in Thailand, is interested in expanding its capacity for progressive lesson design and deeper differentiation within the realm of mathematics. Over the course of the last five years, math scores in elementary schools have shown significant decrease, specifically after the pandemic. They are interested in student-centered lessons that ask meaningful questions that target open-ended responses, allowing all students to share mathematical thinking, develop number sense, and authentically allow for transformational and transferable knowledge.

Deliverable: Students will research and create a distinct shift in lesson design, including introducing flexible strategies to students to differentiate instructional design allowing for “productive struggle” and a student-centered approach to increase student confidence, student engagement and student math strategies to allow for life-long math discourse.



LMS Platform Research

Description: A school is seeking an LMS that can meet its needs for :rapid growth in students, innovative teaching practices, and more effective leveraging of technology to create a best-in-class Fellowship experience. A deliverable will include a report that will outline several potential LMS platform options and a comparison to the currently utilized system. The goal of the project is to research and provide information and recommendations for a new LMS platform for use in future program semesters.

Deliverable: The students produced recommendations based in research and beta testing of 2 platforms. Report included realistic sense of options for new LMS platforms from a functionality and budgetary standpoint to enable the organization to enter the budget creation cycle, with a well-informed position on integrating a new platform and lead to a more effective learning experience for students.


User Acquisition Communications Plan

Description: A life management app that helps people make time and space for personal goals & good habits in the midst of busy lives. The company has focused on college students as the first target market -- intending to help students balance school work with extracurriculars, beat procrastination, and build healthy lifestyle habits. The focus of this project is to create a plan to spread the product in schools through the help of channel partners such as student groups or organizations that have a presence on chapters across the countries. Sponsor is also interested is exploring if product can be rolled out to larger segments of the student body with the support of a university president or provost.

Deliverable: Students produced a proposal for the company to acquire new users (students) and how to make a compelling case for universities to help pilot the product campus-wide.
