Accessibyte
Accessibyte is a special edtech company that creates fully accessible learning and productivity tools for students of all abilities. Their platform contains home user, teacher, and self-voiced, visually-enhanced applications. Accessibyte has apps that allow typing, studying, games, and skill-building, ensuring all learners, with or without a disability, can take part in education and independence.
The company contacted us to upgrade their site and online presence to make it more modern, interesting, and in line with their mission. They sought a platform that would not only showcase their readily available applications but also streamline the onboarding process, empower teachers to manage their students more effectively, and deliver a seamless learning experience.
Business Challenges
Accessibyte is a company with an inspiring vision, but its previous online platform made it harder to deliver on that promise. There were also challenges of accessibility, usability, and scalability in both schools and individual users. We identified the five key challenges as follows:
- Accessibility Gaps: The old platform was not well compatible with the rest of the assistive technologies, which was unmanageable to the users depending on the screen reader, magnifiers, or built-in voices. This undermined the central promise of universal access.
- Teacher Onboarding Issues: Teachers found it a problem to manage student caseloads effectively. The process of creating accounts, managing seats, or creating one-click logins was overly complex, causing confusion among educators during setup.
- Limited Personalization: Visual settings, sound effects, typing goals, and the level of accuracy were different needs of students. The previous platform did not give the teachers the necessary flexibility to easily customize these settings.
- Weak Product Storytelling: Accessibyte’s communication about its product was poor, as it failed to clearly explain how each app could simplify studying, aid in skill-building, or enhance classroom integration, despite offering a rich suite of apps.
- Growth Scalability: With the growth of schools and the increase in the student population, the infrastructure that had been there before could not cope with the new requirements. Regular upgrades and the increasing traffic led to bottlenecks that constrained the growth potential of Accessibyte.
Solutions
To overcome these challenges, we concentrated on creating an accessibility-centric platform with better usability, teacher-centered products, and scalable architecture. All the solutions were not merely meant to be problem-solving but also to uplift the learning process of all users.
- Accessibility-First Design: The accessibility-based framework was developed on the basis of which we recreated the platform that is compatible with screen readers and voice navigation with the ARIA labels and personalized visual settings.
- Centralized Teacher Dashboard: The updated dashboard enables teachers to oversee all students in a single location, and to create single-click logins, change passwords, and assign seats on the fly – making it easier to onboard and manage daily classroom activities.
- Flexible Student Settings: We implemented user-friendly customization options in which teachers have the ability to change visual settings, sound, typing speed, and accuracy targets. This enables teachers to make learning experiences personal to individual students.
- Stories That Engage: We introduced clarity in product pages, storytelling content, and how-it-works demonstrations that show how each of the applications, Typio, Braillio, or Quick Cards, will help the person learn, become more accessible, and learn skills of life skills in a meaningful manner.
- Tech That Grows: The backend system was scaled to support larger classrooms, future growth of the institution, and constant upgrades. This allows Accessibyte to handle increasing demand while keeping performance strong.
