Value for each persona (JTBD)

Refer to EPIC: SB-11947 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Vision : To enable teachers to be able to teach in a better way, and students to understand topics in a better way & prepare for exams.

Goal: Provide access to resources to enable teachers (to teach) and students (to understand topics, prepare for exams) by providing a bouquet of resources.

To enable better teacher preparation, provide

Lesson Plans: Engage students in a systematic way with variety of teaching ideas
Curiosity Questions: Pique students’ interest while initiating a new chapter
Focus Spots: Explain confusing topics in an easy manner
Learning Outcome Definition: Know expected outcomes of the chapter
Marking Scheme Rubric: Know scoring rules and weightage for the chapter

Additionally a teacher may also find useful

Explanation resource: Refresh my own concepts and Explain concepts better
Experiential resource: Get students to relate better to the topic through real-life application
Practice Q-A Sets: Give diverse practice beyond textbook

Objective: These resources can be provided in a well organised manner by leveraging textbook on Sunbird. A textbook containing these resources would be structured as below

Textbook
- Chapter 1 (Topic 1)
  - Teach
    - Lesson Plan
    - Curiosity Questions
    - Focus Spot
    - Learning Outcome Definition
    - Marking Scheme Rubric
  - Learn
    - Explanation resource
    - Experiential resource
  - Practice
    - Multiple Choice Question Practice Set
    - .. (other practice sets)
- Chapter 2 (Topic 2)
