In such a digitalized and interactive world, schools were left behind.

The solution creates value and provides a feedback loop among the three main parties involved in the educational process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Students<\/u><\/strong> have their own playlist \u2013 a personalized to-do list where they can find assignments, communicate with teachers and submit their work.

Through the software, teachers can assign interactive educational models based on each kid\u2019s needs, track attendance and provide feedback. According to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edtechroundup.org\/uploads\/2\/6\/5\/7\/2657242\/edgenuity_dream_classroom_report_033116_final.pdf\">Teacher\u2019s Dream Classroom Survey<\/a>, 70% of teachers feel that technology \u2013 via their own online resources &#8211; enriches the classroom experience<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[iv]<\/a>. Because the tools streamline tasks, educators can spend more quality time with students, review their progress and provide them with feedback.

Instead, it operates its own schools. It started in 2014 with a single San Francisco classroom with 20 students<a href=\"#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[v]<\/a> and now runs eight schools in California and New York<a href=\"#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[vi]<\/a>.

To do so, AltSchool will have to overcome some challenges and adapt key elements on its current operation:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Scale x Cost reduction (the chicken and egg situation)<\/strong>: different from products, a fundamental property of digital technology states that once an investment in network and\/or infrastructure is made, there should be no (or minimal) incremental cost in extending it to a new user<a href=\"#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[vii]<\/a>. Thus, it is natural to expect a higher cost during the launch phase, as AltSchool is still working on developing and improving its tools.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Organizational Components as enablers to value creation<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>People<\/strong>: recruiting high quality teachers, adept at technology and who relate to the company\u2019s vision will be crucial, despite expensive (some teachers at AltSchool earn about $100,000 a year). AltSchool will also have to hire software developers and engineers, roles that don\u2019t exist in conventional schools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Culture<\/strong>: should reflect AltSchool\u2019s enablers for growth, such as excellence, collaboration, innovation and autonomy to educators to personalize teaching.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Critical Tasks<\/strong>: integrating technology with the world of lived experience will be key to provide students with complementary learnings. AltSchool already ensures that the majority of the work is completed off screen<a href=\"#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[viii]<\/a>, but it could go beyond and develop in-group experiences to incentivize collective learning and interaction among kids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Formal Organization<\/strong>: AltSchool should develop processes and establish incentives focused on its platform improvement and students\u2019 performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>Kids may learn\u2026 but are they safe?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>While working on scaling its business, AltSchool needs to carefully assess important risks to its operation. Security and data privacy are important hurdles for digital models, according to a study on Industrial Internet of Things<a href=\"#_edn9\" name=\"_ednref9\">[ix]<\/a>. With a great understanding of children\u2019s behaviors, activities, preferences and passions, AltSchool is developing a unique database that will potentially attract several companies.<\/p>\n<p>To mitigate the risk, AltSchool should leverage its expertise in technology to protect its company from external threats. It is crucial that it develops strict safety controls to avoid external attacks and that it only uses data to the purposes of the school experience or to any other that the parents may agree with.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Capture-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15513 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Capture-5-300x79.jpg\" alt=\"capture\" width=\"300\" height=\"79\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Capture-5-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Capture-5-768x202.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Capture-5-1024x270.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Capture-5-600x158.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/Capture-5.jpg 1847w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>What\u2019s next? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>By focusing on delivering its customer promise on a safe environment, AltSchool will be able to lead the educational transformation we have all been waiting for.
