How education is created. History Online Science Classroom
We are a young development team called Online Science Classroom.
Our core business is the development of applications for Android and iOS devices. We create Education category products for adults, younger students and schoolchildren.
"So what?" - You say.
Young, developers, applications, training, children - nothing new.
But!
We came to Habr for a reason. Today, exactly a year since we entered the mobile application market. How did we come to this and what came of it?
Online Science Classroom exists since 2002. It all started with the project “Lesson-lesson lessons” for the Brookhaven Laboratory - teaching materials in physics for middle school students. It was very nanotechnological for those years - animated lessons, and not easy, but interactive! And the rather modest capabilities of Macromedia Flash MX 6 (well, you remember, yes?) Were more impressive than the cleaner James Cameron.
')
After that, there were other projects, also educational and also for schoolchildren, already for the Russian-speaking audience - physics, chemistry, geography, history, biology ... In such a simple manner, our employees have accumulated a good knowledge base in various fields of science and formed an idea of ​​interests and needs modern schoolchildren.
Further more. I wanted something new. I wanted to realize something of my own, interesting, addicting, useful. Our team is not only programmers, designers, scriptwriters, testers and teachers, many of them are happy and loving parents. Therefore, the ideas of fun lessons and learning using game elements are very, very close to us.
2010 We are mastering a new segment for us - games in social networks. Released games for VKontakte and Odnoklassniki, but they have not achieved significant success. It was decided to close the project and focus on a more suitable platform for our purposes - mobile.
year 2012. Spring. Our first iOS application, Biology - Plant Morphology, comes out with the apple color accompaniment. To begin with, we chose a ready-made desktop reference application and adapted it for a mobile device. The first promotional video was shot - a vivid example of “how not to do it”, now we see it.
The time has passed, and now our videos look like this:
A year of development - is it much or not? Hard to say. But some success was achieved:
Now we have 9 applications that are presented in the App Store, Google Play and Samsung Apps.
Despite the growing number of software products in different markets every day, Runet does not have a lot of information on the development and promotion of applications in the Education category. And although our experience cannot yet be called extensive, we would like to some degree to fill this “information gap” with the help of articles in this blog.
We plan to introduce the products to our products in order to get feedback from tech-savvy readers.
In addition, we are very interested in discussing the technical aspects - programming, design and marketing. And in the next post we will publish the pencil sketches of the lead designer - this is something! Other than jokes. Do not miss.
For this, allow me to bow to the Friday working-class meeting for afestive glass of cake ,
Always yours
