Value for each persona (JTBD)

Refer to EPIC: 

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 

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

Additionally a teacher may also find useful

  1. Explanation resource: Refresh my own concepts and Explain concepts better
  2. Experiential resource: Get students to relate better to the topic through real-life application
  3. 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)
    • ..
    • Chapter n (Topic n)

Enable teachers and students to engage with a textbook using a variety of resources. Some of the possible JTBDs for a teacher, student, or parent are

Value for a senior student

Value for an experienced teacher

Value for a young teacher

Value for a middle school student

Value for a parent (mother)

Resources to enable JTBDs

To deliver these values, following types of resources can be made available using Textbook in SunbirdEd
