The document discusses a proposed mobile app called School Forum that would allow students to get homework help from other students in their class via an online forum. The app would enable students to ask questions about homework assignments, find out due dates, and access useful websites while at home. A team of students called Pigs Might Fly is developing the app to help other students complete homework on time. Their target audience is high school, sixth form, and university students who sometimes struggle with homework. The document outlines features of the app and marketing strategies like sending letters, emails, and texts to schools to advertise how the app could benefit them.

2. School Forum is for Students who are struggling
with homework. It can be used outside of school
at any time to make sure they get the information
they need from other students to help with their
work

3. The Problem,
You’ve got homework due tomorrow and
desperately need some help from your
classmates

4. How can you get instant help to do your
homework?

5. You could just text a friend, but you cant have your
whole class at your finger tips to help with your
queries.
School Forum gives us a quick, easy way of
getting help.

6. My team, Pigs Might Fly, is developing a mobile app
to help students get their homework done on time with
help from other students in their class whilst at home via
forum. They will also be able to find out due dates and
useful websites on this app.

7. Our users are all students in some form of
education, and tend to have difficulty at
some point or another with homework.

8. There are several other Forums on the app
store, they are generally quick and smooth,
They also had very basic layouts and
everything was user-friendly, but they
weren't very pretty and our aim is to have a
very good looking app which is quick and
easy to use

9. Our main feature is the ability to talk to other students
on the forum.
As a student I want to know how to do my
homework so that I don’t fail
As a friendly person I want to help others with their
homework
As a student I want to know when my homework is
due so that I don’t miss the deadline
As a student I want to know useful websites so that I
can improve my work
As a student I want to know how my peers are coping
with their homework so that I don’t feel bad if I cant do
it

12. I think that this app is definitely feasible, it
requires internet access but most phones have
that already, it must also be able to store the
information other students send in.

13. Our target audience are students in high schools, sixth form
and maybe even university, we are confident that they would
have disposable income as they don’t really have to pay any
taxes or other important charges. We think that school could
also benefit form this app if we could have fundraisers to
help set it up and also give 10%of our income to school.
There are lots of apps currently on the market which I think
would like to reach our target audience so we will have some
advertisements but if the user wants to get rid of the
advertisements they would have to pay to remove them as
installing the app would be free. We are hoping that the
school would be able to sponsor us as well with things like
cake sales and raffle tickets to raise money for the app.
With the introduction of iPad in many schools in the UK there
is an ever increasing demand for online apps that support
education

14. One way we cold get our app across to our
target buyers, the schools of the world, and
get them to buy our app. Is to send a letter
advertising why the app would be an asset to
the school.
We also think that we can
send emails to schools
advertising our app and
telling the schools about
how it wold work.
We could
send texts or phone calls to
schools to inform them how our
app would be useful in their
school. This would help us to fund
the app if the schools bought it
