Mobomo + NUS

At a glance.

How Mobomo and the National University System worked together.
  • Digitized the Sanford Harmony social-emotional learning program, transitioning classroom materials from paper to tablet-based applications.
  • Created a system by which teachers use the content in classroom that students and parents can access at home.
  • Built interactive Storybooks and Quick Connection Cards that support social-emotional learning.
  • Delivered tablet applications that make program materials accessible, intuitive, and easy to use across learning environments.
  • Defined Phase One scope and develop initial wireframes for the application.
the challenge

Modernizing learning without losing human connection.

We built the Ionic cross-platform tablet app for iOS and Android, catering to Pre-K through 2nd grade classrooms. It included Sanford Harmony’s content for Storybooks and Quick Connection Cards, with audio recordings of all Storybooks, the ability to keep a list of classroom ‘Harmony Goals’ for the year, and assign Quick Connections Cards to pairs of students.

 

NUS
The solution

A privacy-first learning platform.

This project was unique because we needed to be careful with the privacy for students. So student names in the Class Roster do not carry over from device to device - the names are only stored locally. This means a teacher needs to use the same device every time they work with a class, in order to avoid re-adding the student list every time.
