THE SOLUTION
Crafting Connections through Design
Charged with the mission to refine and elevate the TeachConnect brand, Hunted Hive envisioned and birthed a brand package that resonated with the mission 'Teacher owned.’ Stripping away unnecessary complexity, we unveiled a platform that's both welcoming and professionally resonant.
- Design Excellence: A clean and user-friendly aesthetic crafted by our UX/UI designers marries the joy of learning with a touch of sophistication integral to the teaching profession.
- Engaging Conversations: The chat feature mirrors popular communication tools in our daily lives, ensuring a sense of familiarity and ease for users as they engage with their peers.
- Simplifying Interactions: Our team honed the end-user experience by implementing functional designs intuitively recognizable to the teaching community, thus streamlining their online interactions.
TeachConnect's ripple effect in the educational sector culminated in a grand launch officiated by Education Minister Kate Jones on October 29th, 2015. Garnering attention across diverse platforms, from the 'Set Up' blog to the Courier-Mail, the platform underscores the relentless pursuit of knowledge sharing and community strength in Queensland's educational landscape.
TeachConnect stands as a beacon of Hunted Hive's commitment to meaningful design, enriching the learning experience, and fostering a vibrant community where every teacher's voice finds both an echo and an audience.
