Case study
A learning platform for 42 community schools, designed for unreliable internet connections and low-cost Android phones shared between students.
The Trust had licensed an international learning platform that assumed a reliable broadband connection and one device per student. In practice, many schools had only a few shared Android phones, and the internet connection often dropped for hours. Fewer than 8% of students were using the platform.
We rebuilt the platform to work offline first. Content downloads whenever a connection is available, lessons work fully offline, and progress is saved on the phone until the connection returns.
Within two terms, 71% of students across the 42 schools were actively using the platform. Average data use fell to 21 MB per student per month, which brought the programme within the Trust’s internet budget for the first time.
“The previous platform was excellent software, but it was built for a different world. NEPSYNC spent two weeks in our schools before writing any code, and it shows in every design decision.”
