Boulder, Co. - Montessori Workspace is a web-based organization software for teachers in Montessori schools, nationwide.
This application was built on Rails. It was a project where form absolutely followed function, as it’s goal was to provide the simplest kind of functionality, while providing a more visual appeal than a piece of paper—which is what most montessori teachers currently use. The program should be intuitive enough for the teachers and administration to hit the ground running. There were interesting developments in the user research, and the interface was molded around the teachers that would actually use the software. There appeared to be two main users—those who might use it day-to-day, and those that might use it once-a-week as a method of compiling the notes they’ve written down since their last update.
