Issues that various researches have shown:
THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
Passiveness1
• Insufficient efficiency of the educational system1
• Not enough interest1
• Very small percentage of students that continue their studies1

Our starting hypothesis:
Each student has their own preference when it comes to education
The goal of education is to acquire permanent and practical knowledge
which can be used and connected to other areas
Professors and teachers don't have enough time to dedicate themselves to
individual students
Workshops and classes could be much more efficient by introducing
technology into them
Technology is seeping into classrooms and the education process

How can YTM – Classroom 2020 contribute to solving
these issues:
Student motivation
Professors don’t have
enough time
Students who
underperform and their
needs
System inefficiency
Frequent testing
enabled and the
introduction of
multimedia content
The system gathers
data about students
and creates reports
Adjusting the level of
help and liberating the
professors’ time
The application does
most of the tiresome
processes for the
professor
The student is expecting
a test and is paying more
attention in class
The system adapts
according to an individual
student
The student can acquire
great help from the
system
Professors can dedicate
themselves to upgrading
their lectures
