Digital Management Platform

Zhiyuan Education focuses on STEM courses for primary and secondary students, designed to the standards of the nine-year education system, and around real scenarios and a rigorous learning process it builds interdisciplinary self-learning drive, technological literacy and social-practice ability. To bring STEM education into schools, the company commissioned a digital management platform.

Project background

The delivery chain for a STEM course is longer than ordinary training: courses are scheduled by school and grade, materials and tools have to be prepared in advance, assessment happens before and after class, and parents want to see how their child is doing. Once these steps sit in different tools, an institution cannot keep hold of them as it grows.

Platform components

The platform combines teaching support, marketing channel management, pre- and post-class assessment and home-school linkage, with subsystems for course management, delivery management, business service, student assessment and the maker education mall.

Teaching and home-school

Teachers manage courses on the platform, prepare pre-class materials and post-class quizzes quickly, and interact with parents to move a student’s learning forward together. The assessment system tests students regularly, helping students and parents understand progress and improve results.

Channels and the mall

A marketing channel management system is built in, helping the institution promote courses and raise market share; the maker education mall gives parents a convenient way to buy the tools and materials a course needs.

Outcome

• Course, delivery, service, assessment and mall subsystems work together on one platform, so data no longer breaks between steps.
• Preparing materials and quizzes is standardised, cutting the load on teachers.
• Regular assessment results are visible to parents, so progress has evidence behind it.
• Channel management and the mall are connected, so promotion and parent purchasing share one entrance.
