#80 - User-centred design: co-creating best of breed edtech with teachers for teachers

Hello and welcome everyone. This week we are in ‘takeover’ mode with Harness,  talking about user-centred design and creating edtech with teachers for teachers.  Educators! Join in the co-development process:

What's in this episode? We look at everything from how investment and growth plans influence edtech design to the good and the bad, to how teachers share information on practical edtech, and we also hear from Harness on their own personal edtech start-up story and why they believe 'a teacher a day keeps the EdTech in play'.

Unio is an interactive lesson delivery and assessment platform, designed with teachers to promote excellence in teaching and learning. Based around shared online screens between teachers and students, Unio makes it easy to personalise learning and assess progress at a glance.

Teachers can:

  • Create an interactive lesson by uploading an existing PowerPoint, Word or PDF.
  • Display lessons and live annotations on all student screens.
  • Assess understanding with self-marking quizzes.
  • Take control of any student’s screen to provide targeted feedback which students can access after class.
