Hello!
My name is Natalie Dajbura I was born and
raised in Bolivia a country located in South America. My objectives are to find
a job that I will be passionate for. Over the past years, I have developed very
important skills such as independence and perseverance. To be very honest the
only thing I know is that I want to do something business related. My idea is
based in problems that occur repetitively to students. The problem was that
many students forget their assignments in canvas. The idea is to create an app
that will be synchronized with canvas that will constantly remind students
their assignments due. This would be an advantage for many students that take
online courses. However, nowadays most assignments are turned in on webpages
like canvas. I know students would pay for the app because I’m a student and
most students have forgotten their assignments. Moreover, the past interviews proved
me that this is a major problem for students and many of them told me that they
would definitely buy the app .The app has to be very effective and easy to
manage. Also, the price has to be in a point where the consumers will be
willing to pay for because the whole point was to help students not take
advantage of their problem. I think this elements will fit together because a
huge problem students face everyday. As a student, I know that many of them
have activities like work, other courses, or are even part of an organizations
and they need to manage their time wisely. However, this app helps students
manage their time, and at the end the procrastination days will be over. Since
this is a good idea, there may be also competition; however, there are always
ways to be better for example innovating is a good idea.
Natalie, I am really surprised that Canvas doesn’t already have a setting for creating email or text reminders! I am not sure how much people would pay for this, though, because for a class that has a quiz due every Sunday at nine, you can always set your own reminder on your phone. Maybe something you could add to this is personalizing the reminders because for some assignments you need more time to complete them if you forgot. Good luck with this!

Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI have to say your idea is very good, I would definitively give it a try. I personally forget everything so I'm constantly writing what I have to do, and it would be awesome to have everything on my phone, since I carry it everywhere. You should consider a free trial before students are willing to pay for it. Please feel free to comment on my own Idea Napkin http://cabuawad.blogspot.com/2016/03/idea-napkin-no-2.html
