Introduction
This article aims to introduce the world’s educational solutions module to the world’s latest personal and professional problem-solving site. The article is aimed at those readers who may have an educational problem that overwhelms them and who, therefore, may be looking for a way out of their situation. The reader can be a parent, child, or student.
It is a common fact of life that we all have problems and that we are often frustrated or tend to lash out at our inability to find accessible and reliable information about our problems. This specialized site satisfies this need, as our pragmatic friend to solve our educational problems.
To be highly useful to people, a problem-solving site should combine pragmatic discussions of their personal or professional problems with commercial products that provide more detailed information. Typically, the website will provide free information in the form of news, articles, and tips, directing visitors on what to do to solve their problems. Complementing this, the website will also provide commercial products that discuss in detail how the visitor can solve their problem. This means that the most efficient and visitor-friendly troubleshooting site will be an information-packed business site, as will the world’s latest personal and professional troubleshooting site and its specialized sites.
The approach we have taken below is to describe competitive offerings, customer profiles, problem-oriented solutions, target markets, product offerings, and usability features.
Competitive offers
The following are the main educational sites on the Internet, along with their offerings.
United States Department of Education. It defines the educational policy of the United States and provides information on financial aid, educational research and statistics, grants and contracts, and teaching and learning resources.
Educational Testing Service. Provides a variety of testing resources.
FunBrain.com. Provides educational games for K-8 kids.
PrimaryGames.com. Provides fun learning tools and games for kids.
JEWEL. Provides educational resources such as lesson plans and other teaching and learning resources.
World of education. Provides advice on lesson plans, professional development, and technology integration.
NASA Education Enterprise. Provides educational materials and information related to space exploration.
Educational Spartacus. It is a British online encyclopedia that focuses on historical subjects.
Department of Education and Skills. It is a UK government department site offering information and advice on various educational and skills topics.
Times Educational Supplement. It offers teaching news, teaching, and educational resources and active forums to help UK teachers.
All of these sites are useful in the domains they cover. Its main limitations are as follows:
- They tend to cover only a very narrow segment of the education market.
- They do not take as a starting point the daily educational needs of the typical family.
- They lack a focus problem; that is, they do not formulate the typical learning and educational problems that students, students, and parents face on a daily basis.
- As a result of the previous point, the solutions offered are not as incisive (that is, as focused on the problem) as they could be.
- They do not offer commercial products that deepen the visitor’s understanding of their problem and consequent solutions.
The educational solutions module of the world’s latest personal and professional problem-solving site addresses these problems by targeting a multiplicity of market segments, adopting a customer profile that fits the typical family seeking education, considering needs or specific problems this family may face, offering incisive (problem-focused) solutions to various problems, and offering a range of commercial products that deepen visitors’ appreciation of their problems and the solutions that apply to them.
