Unbord is a space for learning and teaching; a place where you can create content, design a learning experience step by step, collaborate with others, and track learning progress. In Unbord, learning does not have to be limited to a video, a file, or a quiz. You can combine several different activities around a topic; for example, explain a concept with a wiki, demonstrate it with a video, practice it with a quiz, and review it with flashcards.
Learning is not just about having access to content. For effective learning, we sometimes need an explanation, sometimes practice, review, discussion, feedback, or an opportunity to see our progress. Unbord brings these elements together in one environment so that learning does not become a collection of scattered tools. You can use each part based on the learning goal and people's needs; there is no required order for using the features. The idea for Unbord grew from the experience of the Fekrooneh team working with schools, teachers, learners, and educational organizations; an experience that showed that designing education is not limited to creating content and that the learning experience, interaction, and progress tracking also need to be considered.
In Unbord, each feature is designed for a part of the teaching and learning experience:
Suppose you want to design a learning path about the "water cycle." You might first explain the concepts of evaporation and condensation with a wiki. Then, add a video to demonstrate the process, use a quiz to check understanding, and finally use flashcards to review important concepts and terms. If you want, you can also get help from Nuro: ask it to create content based on a text or resource; prepare a lesson plan for a topic; or help a learner think and learn better through an educational conversation.
This is just one example. In Unbord, you do not need to use all the tools in a single learning experience. The choice of each tool depends on what the learner is expected to do at that stage: read, watch, practice, review, or discuss.
A user can have different roles in different Unbord environments. For example, they may be a learner in one learning path and work as an instructor or content creation collaborator in another. Role determines what you can do and what data you can see in a learning path or class. For example, a learner's access is not the same as that of someone responsible for creating content or tracking a class. Subscription determines which features, capabilities, or limits are enabled for your account, such as access to certain tools or content creation limits. Therefore, role and subscription are not the same concept: role relates to your presence in an environment, while subscription relates to the features enabled for your account.
