Looking to create software for schools and the whole education system

Hi!

My name is Shaun Moore, I've a software developer living in the UK.

I'm looking to make some software based on a whole life at school please if you could read the features below and I'd love to hear feedback by the people who would like to use this!

Many thanks for your time

Overview: OAFS’ will be an all-in-one system for schools to use, our team will go to every single school and help set-up also we will be on 24/7 callout. This is because the safety and security of the children, teachers and our systems are paramount.

This software will be created with the intention that the school only needs to pay for this monthly/one-off and not pay for any other service as we hope to incorporate everything. This will also be done by collecting data on what schools need and when one school needs it, all schools will get it.

OAFS’ will be designed from the ground up working with the DfE (Department for Education) this is so we have all the security concerns in mind when creating this product as student data will have to be strict control. This means anyone we hire there will be an extensive background check and very limited access to data. Data and the web services will be kept remotely, the database will be kept with a host that is very secure, in one place to not risk multiple exploits. The websites will be kept in multiple to ensure they do not have any downtime.

The design will be simple as, so it is easy for the teachers/students to navigate and not spend time learning, it will be role managed so students cannot manage timetables and teachers cannot submit homework. This will be controlled by an admin role and this will be given to the headmaster and who they see fit needs it.

​

Features:

Schedule system:

Student: Students will see their timetables, homework assigned and stats about their attendance. Assignment submission for students to submit online

Teacher: Teachers will be able to set timetables & homework assigned. They can also upload the latest lesson so students can see their past lessons with notes.

Parents: Parents can see their child(ren)’s timetable and keep a close eye on how they are doing at school and what they can do at home.

​

Virtual Classes: Virtual classes would simply be a built in extension of the system where, if a student couldn’t make it due to being sick or off school, or like we’ve had the pandemic the teacher can display the presentation and voice over the virtual classroom.

​

Online Collection: This could be for school trips and even dinner services, I would like to possibly partner with a leading EPOS(Electronic point of sales) system that has known success rates in EPOS to provide an EPOS system to the school then the students can pay in cash, card or even an issued card from OAFS that the parents can top-up. The parents can also pre-pay online so the student can always eat.

​

Live chat with friends & teachers: This feature would let the parents & children talk to the teacher in a supervised manner. This would be very helpful if the student is stuck with some piece of homework or has some questions. This would all be supervised, recorded and a transcript will be sent to both the parent & headteacher.

​

CV Creator: The main feature we would like to add (relies on lots of schools) we would like or offer automatic CV creation, this would factor in ALL feedback from teachers & would incorporate the tests and results submitted, we would use AI(Artificial intelligence) to automatically write a CV and send the students job/college/university opportunities they might be interested in.

​

Register: This will sign students into every lesson

​

File manager: The students & teachers will have an area to submit helpful material to support each other.

​

Online tests: Online tests, the teacher can create or copy these, and they will be auto marked at the end adding to the profile of the student.

​

Online Report cards: These will be created by the teachers about the students and vice versa for the students to grade their teacher.
