Summary

The developer was inspired by their visit to a classroom where they observed students struggling with frustration and hesitation to ask for help due to fear of being judged or watched. This experience led them to design the Student Overview feature, which provides teachers with a bird's-eye view of student progress, allowing them to track individual student performance without having to hover around each student individually. The new feature is designed to be visually comprehensible and easy to use, with colorful icons and highlighting lines to provide contextual awareness. By introducing this feature, the developers aim to make teaching jobs easier for educators and improve student outcomes.
