Understanding the
users

Research

I interviewed some teachers to empathize with them about their work . I found that teachers find it hard to check assignments on the spot due to time bound . I also found that teachers sometimes lose any student’s assignment written on paper ,when they carry along with them at office , home or somewhere else to check and grade. While grading assignments they make a progress report to submit to the principal ,which is time consuming for principal to evaluate and make results .

Research

They all want any guide to help them find reliable food access .
