Circumstance

  What were the circumstances

「Since my daughter attends a private  school, online lessons have started, but the  URLs and meeting links of online lessons,  passwords, and distributed materials are sent  separately for each lesson…which is  confusing even for adults. 」

「My daughter started crying just because  she was late and couldn’t prepare for the  class during interval…」

The Online Age

Students have 6-7 classes everyday and moreover, mails  sent for the lessons, classes are different and are not in any  particular order. In addition, homework will be given after  the class, which makes it a pain to organize these contacts.  It is difficult even for an adult to segregate these many  emails.

In the past, information transfer was carried out in a  physical space i.e. schools and classrooms, but here we are  just reminiscing the functions that the “classroom" has.

Looking at the situation of the students as a whole, and not  each individual, it looks like the situation is as shown in the  figure. As expected, we were convinced that this would not  convey information well.
「That’s why IT doesn’t work. I’ve heard people say, “It  should be a class where people face each other," but just as  analog has its own strengths, IT has their own merits too; is  what we figured and started looking for a solution. 」
