1.0 Introduction
1.1 Company background
Say’un–Tech Is an IT Consultant Company that provides easy design solutions by developing, implementing,
and maintaining them. This company strives to help people around the world with difficulties with their new
solutions. It believes in the humanity and the goodwill of the people that they are always ready to help. The
Company’s mission is to provide easy-accessible tech and solutions to the ones who need it most. Their vision
is to see that everyone gets their basic needs with or without their help.
Families who are suffering from country problems such as war, political issues or inequality could be the ones
who don't get the basic needs a human need. They suffer from poverty and are unable to provide even basic
education for their children. To be a part of this world and grow along with it, a minimum knowledge would be
required for an individual for him/her to discover where their interest lies so they can have a proper future. And
of course, every child has a right to education. But many developing countries do not generate enough financial
resources to build schools, recruit teachers and buy study materials. [ CITATION Hum21 \l 1033 ]
Taking the initiative to level up the education sector in Yemen (YAAQOB BAWZER
TP052619)
After more than 15 years of war that afflicted Yemen from March 2015, education in Yemen has been directly
affected in 2015/2016 because of that more than two million Yemeni children forced to leave school. And that
the continuation of the conflict in the country - would lead to the collapse of the education sector in those areas
and threaten the future of an entire generation. The warnings (“UNICEF”) proved correct. However, this
dilemma has not yet received the appropriate response from the international and local community. The collapse
of the education sector in the territories, although devastating, is not surprising, as it is an expected consequence
of the ongoing conflict and represents one of the implications of the war on the entire infrastructure of the
country - although this sector was suffering even long before the outbreak of the conflict (UNICEF, 2021).
About two million Yemeni children cannot read or write in the Arabic language due to the ongoing conflict.
This places a great burden on the government, schools, and institutes to combat illiteracy. Due to inadequate or
no access to schooling, a whole generation of Yemeni children faces an unknown future. (UNICEF, 2021).
Providing children of rural areas with same education and opportunities as children in urban areas.
(Kholla Sikandar TP057748)
Rural areas of Pakistan do not get enough attention form government when it comes to educational
development. Hence, most of the villages only have one school each and that too in the worst condition. The
students don’t have furniture to sit on and no books to read from. They study from the only source which is;
black board. The teachers teach the very basics and continue teaching same course for two to three levels of
grade. Such environment and condition limit the education, ability, and future of the children. After several
demands and pressure from education sector, the government provided with tablets to each school, equal to the
number of students enrolled. The system running on the tablet is not very efficient hence, we introduce a new
application for children to use. The application provides with digital books for level 1 to level 8 students which
can be accessed once students login and can study from there. The books are recommended by the ministry of
education which are widely studied by school students in urban areas.
Continuing to use traditional methods of education rather than adopting modern ones (Galal Sultan Ali
TP054495)
The use of traditional methods in teaching methods without considering new methods such as research, critical
thinking, and creativity, and this is due to the presence of many teachers who are incompetent or unqualified
mainly, especially in light of the low acceptance rate in colleges of education and teacher institutes, which
means that the teacher is responsible for educating an entire generation. He is basically uneducated, and has not
achieved high school grades (2019 ,)حنين
There are many things to note down in the world we are living, especially now during the covid-19 pandemic
and various factors like war, malnutrition, problems in the health sector etc. ln spite of factors like war and the
covid-19 pandemic, it is wasted time when children fail to go to school. Inability to access education by school
children, according to educators and educational analysts, could have negative consequences for students,
especially those who are educationally at risk. (Johnson, 2020). With government mandates requiring higher
expectations, such as the introduction of remote learning, educational analysts have predicted that if the children
continue without education, the pass rate is likely to decrease and maybe some could dropout. (Adam, 2019).
The aim of this problem is to develop and remote learning application for children that are being affected by the
above stated issues.
One of the biggest problems faced by children today is poverty which leads to further problems such as
homelessness, hunger, and behavioral and emotional problems. Lack of food, education, and health is another
problem faced by poverty ridden children. Not having enough food leads to starvation hence, causing weight
loss and malnutrition which further leads to diseases and less social activities. While lack of education gives rise
to unemployment, gender inequality, Labour, and marginalization. Lack of education also cease mental and
spiritual development of children which leads lack of confidence and voice and exploitation hence making a
poverty trap. Poor health care also leads to further problems such as physical restrictions and mental health
issues.
Furthermore, Child Labour is another problem. There are many risks involved with child Labour such as
diseases, injury, health issues, trafficking, and slavery. One out of eight refugees are children who don’t have
any rights or freedom, they don’t have basic facilities such as education and their future are not secure. Children
also face abuse of different kinds which causes depression and complex trauma leading to poor peer relations
and social isolation. It can also cause drug reliance. Hygiene is another big problem related to children now
adays. It can accumulate bacteria which can lead to parasitic diseases such as diarrhea which can cause lack of
cognitive development and environmental enteropathy.

3.1.2 Nearpod
Nearpod is a company that blends virtual reality and augmented reality technologies with conventional lesson
plans in the classroom to provide a more engaging technology-based approach to learning. Nearpod's lesson
plans incorporate 360-degree images and videos, as well as a PowerPoint-like presentation for students to use in
conjunction with the 360-degree photos and videos. Additionally, students may be required to respond to
questions through their laptops or tablet. Nearpod VR demonstrates how a classroom of the future could look,
with lesson plans improved by VR and AR technologies and students excited about using this advanced
technology (nearpod, 2021).
Teaching Arabic is the process of communicating knowledge and providing children with experiences, skills
and elements Linguistic as well as language sciences, so that children can acquire the Arabic language, and this
requires having a method or method that leads them to their goal. Therefore, the practitioner of the teaching and
learning process is not aware of the great importance involved in the teaching aids in providing the experiences
from which each child takes what achieves his goals and arouses his interest. Among the modern educational
methods is the technology of augmented reality, which is: the technology that combines virtual objects in the
real world, and the user can interact with virtual objects at the same time, as it allows the addition of two-
dimensional and three-dimensional shapes and the inclusion of audio and video files and information. Arabic
LA (learning App) product aims to employ AR technology in learning Arabic language and Arabic language
topics and skills that children can learn using this technology. Augmented reality technology is one of the
modern methods of learning that is widely applied in the field of education, including Many characteristics as
previously explained. This technique will be used to learn some topics in the Arabic language, as shown in the
following table:
Diagram No. 1: Steps to employ augmented reality technology in learning the Arabic language.
Sourcing planning
Gathering the resources
2- Sourcing planning
The unit of study will be chosen to learn the Arabic language that the Ministry of Education is currently
teaching in Yemen. A unit is a chapter in any books, but in Yemen, a chapter is referred to as a unit in the book
given by the ministry of education of Yemen. The main source in the selected unit is some texts and videos that
are allowed to be viewed using augmented reality technology and some other resources such as videos available
on the Internet and Bilingual dictionaries, whether printed or Electronic.
Using the Internet to search for the appropriate videos, 3D shapes, images, and graphics that will be used to
employ the augmented reality technology. It shows in its final form in the following table2 :
7 Singing all the reference video The skill of The use of reference nouns in
names listening the sentence
8 Review the topic of Pictures and The skill of Learning Arabic numbers
numbers. Sounds listening
and the
skill of

3.3.3 Function
Learning the four skills of the language Reading, Writing, listening, and speaking
1- In this function, Augmented reality technology encourages children's reading habits through short stories
designed with this technology provided by the Arabic LA (learning App) application.
2- Arabic LA (learning App) application offers a new way of learning how to write the Javanese alphabets.
3- Arabic LA (learning App) application is augmented with audio, video and other interactive content that
supports listening skill.
Within Arabic LA (learning App) application, children can choose which skills they want to learn. Suppose the
child chooses to learn a reading skill. In that case, they can learn this skill in a new way in the form of small
stories using augmented reality technology to encourage the reading habit of children with the help of
augmented reality technology. If the children choose to learn the listening skill, they will learn it in an enjoyable
way because of the audio and visual accessories integrated into Arabic LA (learning App) application that uses
augmented reality technology and in terms of writing skill, this application offers a new way to write the
alphabets. The application also offers an additional feature, which is translating language phrases into other
languages.
4.2 Place
The second element explains how the product will be made available to consumers, or how it will be delivered.
Since the application is aimed at illiterate children in Yemen, it will initially be deployed there. After receiving
positive feedback from the industry, the application aims to extend its reach to other countries and institutes,
announcing its presence as a novel method of teaching the Arabic language on a global scale. The demographics
indicate that the intended users are Yemeni children between the ages of 5-8 who wish to become literate in the
Arabic language.
4.3 Price
The product will be marketed as a technical solution in teaching languages. We came up with the idea of and
creating an app that utilizes augmented reality technology to assist children in learning the Arabic language in a
novel way and to help Yemen reduce its illiteracy rate. Teachers in schools and institutes can use the application
also. The revenue created by these augmented reality apps will come from the purchase of the app and Paid
Subscriptions to AR content inside the app, as well as from occasional exclusive offers available to schools and
institutes. The price of an augmented reality app will between $30 for schools and $500 for individuals.
4.4 Promotion
The software will be promoted on tv, online, and on the company's Facebook and Instagram pages, and via
schools and institutes. The app will also be marketed via phone to the targeted schools. Employees will contact
specific institutes to spread the announcement about the new app and will happily invite them over to try it out
if they are interested.
The method of Force Field Analysis was used, as it gives a concise description of the current forces that drive
and resist change. The powers that inspire reform revolve around the fact that augmented reality teaching
benefits children dramatically because it maintains their attention, allows learning fun, and may improve
children's understanding of language material. Meanwhile, respondents to the survey mentioned the
application's restrictions, such as structural constraints, such as the need to cover a certain volume of material in
a given period of time, which often add to the difficulties of implementing new technology and developments,
as well as the powers opposed to reform. As seen in the study, the majority of forces are in favor of the
proposed concept, totaling 27 points, while the forces opposed to the idea equal 17 points. Having said that, the
fact that the forces for change outnumber the forces against change means that the proposed idea is viable.
STRENGTHS WEAKNESS
- Accurate representation of real-world - Children may fail to use the app because they
situations did not have the required skills. (R1)
- Interactive - Utilizing virtual reality in schools necessitates
- Increases information acquisition. (R5) the creation of a certain resource base. For
- Increases children curiosity. (R8) instance, not every child possesses a
- Complements the latest wave of children's smartphone capable of running augmented
lifestyle. (R10) reality apps (R5)
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
- being able to Learn Arabic vocabulary using - delivery of the products. Distribution and
designed flashcards with augmented reality investment are inextricably related. Without
technology that can bring excitement and sponsorship, it is difficult to collect funds for
motivation for children. (R7) interactive app. (R6)
- It is applicable to all schooling and training - children must be taught about how to use
centers. (R9) augmented reality, which takes time and
- Technology is becoming more affordable and energy. (R1)
accessible. (R6) - Since augmented reality is still in its infancy,
- It promotes active learning. (R1) companies are having enough rooms for
your content. This will change as they
become more known. (R10)
The second method used to decide to choose whether or not to pursue the new idea is the SWOT analysis,
which evaluates the idea's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. According to the findings tabulated
in the study above, the new idea's strengths include increasing knowledge retention and the children's interest by
the use of the application, which was also recommended by survey respondents. Concerning the proposed
smartphone application's weaknesses, a few technological problems have been overlooked. For example, using
augmented reality in schools necessitates the creation of a specific resource base. For example, not every child
owns a smartphone capable of running augmented reality applications, as respondents also noted. The
application's shortcomings could be overcome by considering the respondents' recommendations and being
more careful when designing the application's functionalities in order to guarantee a smoother user experience.
In terms of external considerations, there is space for expansion of the suggested idea, such as additional
functionality and features that increase the application's usefulness, thus attracting more buyers. Opportunities
bring with them threats, which are present in the proposed solution. The severity of existing threats can be
mitigated by using technologies like data analytics to obtain visibility into user behavior, enabling the business
to respond appropriately. To summarize the SWOT analysis's findings, the strengths and opportunities
overshadow the weaknesses and threats. Hence the idea may be pursued further.

7.1 Survey
A survey was conducted on the proposed app. A total of 10 students from Asia Pacific University has provided
feedback to be used for evaluating ideas.
Table 4 Respondent's details
In operations and strategic planning, competitive analysis is an evaluation of existing and future competitors'
strengths and weaknesses. This report offers a strategic framework for identifying opportunities and challenges
from both a strategic and tactical standpoint. In order to promote efficient and effective plan development,
execution, evaluation, and modification, profiling brings together all applicable sources of competitor analysis
under one structure. (Pahwa, 2021)
3.1.1 YogoMe
It is indeed common knowledge that learning can be enjoyable when combined with a game. YogoMe, is a
Mexico City-based studio, has jumped into this trend and is producing some amazing learning experiences for
children of all ages. Their games are aimed at elementary and middle school students, but children as young as
five and as old as twelve will benefit from using their software.
Yogome reportedly has 30 App Store apps and 11 Google Play apps. Manolo Daz and Alberto Colin came up
with the idea for Yogome in 2010. From 2010 onwards, they expanded the studio to 40 employees, including
on-site communication specialists for multilingual support and curriculum experts to ensure that the education
goes along with the fun.
The game is divided into eight worlds that cover eight different topics such as math, science, and programming.
Parents may also participate and use the YogoMe Parent Dashboard to monitor their children's progress and
even give them tests. (Miracle, 2016)
3.1.2 Remind
Remind is a software application that helps schools keep in touch with parents. Remind allows you to send
messages in real-time to all parents, a specific group of parents, or even an individual, all from your phone or
device. This is useful for sending a short message to parents informing them of any last-minute scheduling
changes or any other school related matter. (McDonnell, 2021)
Fast - Messages can be broadcast to the whole class, a specific group of people, or an individual in real time.
You can plan of time and connect illustrations and other files to your announcements.
Accessible - Remind is flexible because it allows communication and sharing of information between all types
of devices. Messages can be translated into more than 90 languages before sending them to ensure that they
reach the intended recipient.
Effective: To find out who has read your texts through delivery receipts.

A computer/mobile application with a user-friendly interface for distance learning. This application will display
previous discussions between students in the same grade, teacher-assigned assignments, and their weekly
schedule. It's usually used when there are scheduling problems, emergencies, or, as is the case now, disasters
(COVID-19).
Messaging, recording, video chat, and file sharing are among the main features of the LearnFast application.
This application has no limit on the number of students that can join each class.
LearnFast will be cloud-based unified communications (UC) offering, and it competes with similar products,
such as Slack, YogoMe and Remind. As a school remote learning app, LearnFast enables local and remote
students to collaborate on content in real time and near-real time across different devices, including laptops and
mobile devices. LearnFast will integrate with other content developers, including Exchange, PowerPoint, and
SharePoint.
Since it keeps separated classmates linked and collaborating, LearnFast would be particularly useful for remote
interaction. The COVID-19 outbreak has forced schools all over the nation to use various remote learning
applications.
LearnFast will be implemented across entire Zimbabwean schools, not just within specific grades. LearnFast
may be able to take the place of email for internal contact between teachers, parents, and students in some
instances.
Features
User Interface
Figure 1.0 above shows the main page of LearnFast application. The user is able to check the recent discussions
when they open the application. On the top left corner of the screen is a menu bar. When the user clicks on it
there are several options to choose from such as joining a class, starting a conversation with your peers,
assignments tab amongst other options. In addition, if the child has any problem, he or she can post the question
up for discussion with other classmates which makes learning more enjoyable and social.
Marketing identification is the method of categorizing potential users of LearnFast application based on their
likelihood of using the application for remote learning. In terms of the services and products that make up a
LearnFast business model, the marketing strategies are complex. Identifying why a consumer may choose to use
LearnFast application despite all the substitutes available, segmenting the entire market based on common
characteristics, and selecting the most viable, profitable market sector as the main demographic for your
marketing mix are all part of target market identification. (Lake, 2020)

Product
The idea behind this innovation is that children spend more time on social media platforms. Therefore,
developing an application that supports both remote learning and also the social side of children can be a good
implementation.
Price
There is no cost associated with purchasing LearnFast application. All you need is an internet connection to
download the app, create an account, and begin your remote learning experience.
Promotion
The app will be promoted across all social media channels where most children spend the majority of their time.
It will be promoted in schools, on television, and through posters to raise awareness. As part of the deal, 100
mobile devices will be given away for free, along with LearnFast application for remote learning.
Place
The remote learning app will be available on both the Playstore and the Appstore, so it will work on both
Android and iOS devices. Downloads for all types of computers will be available on the company's website.
For obtaining a detailed summary of the forces operating on an organizational development issue, as well as
their nature and strength, a Force Field Analysis is vital. (Lewin, 2021) This approach is used to determine
whether or not a company will proceed with a change in the current product, as well as the strength of the
factors supporting or opposing the reform.

Post-Improvement
SWOT analysis is planning methodology that was developed at Stanford in the 1970s. The term SWOT stands
for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, and it is a formal preparation process for evaluating
those four elements of an entity, initiative, or business venture.
A SWOT analysis is a basic yet effective method for optimizing an organization's strengths, strengthening its
vulnerabilities, mitigating risks, and maximizing opportunities. (GUREL, 2017)

people can connect.
Decision:
The SWOT analysis is an essential approach used to decide whether or not to pursue the proposed concept. This
method evaluates the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of designing a remote learning
application. The impact of the suggested concept outweighs the weakness, as shown by the findings tabulated in
Figure 3.0. To provide users with a better performance of the application, the shortcomings could be mitigated
by taking into account the suggestions made by the respondents. Threats accompany opportunities, which are
present in the suggested ideation. The severity of the current threat can be reduced by implementing new trends
in technology. As a result, LearnFast application can be developed further.

The main objective of the application is to help the primary and secondary school children of rural areas get the
education which the children in urban areas get. And help them in their development by providing good
education. When provided with quality education, children can grow up to be compatible among peers and can
have bright futures ahead.
A lot of students in rural areas of Pakistan do not have access to proper education due to lack of resoources and
materials available in schools. Those children are restricted to study just from black board or have to share old
torn books with more than one student. The government of Pakistan announced to provide tablets to one school
in a village equal to the number of students enrolled. So that long term cost of buying books can be reduced to
almost none.
Considering that, A software application is proposed. It will provide books according to the curriculum that the
ministry of education has implemented. The application will be unique to level of class form level 1 to level 8.
The students will be able to access their course book on the application and read and study from them during
and after classes. Students can either login directly to access their book or they can first choose their level and
then login. There is also fun exercises and games which are assessment based on the students’ curriculum.
Teachers also have access to the application. Where they can manage assess students’. The application can be
used according to the timetable.

Market identification
4.1 Product
Within the application students can access the books they are unable to get access to otherwise. They can either
choose their level or login to their account. Where they can see a list of books of their course. The students then
can choose from the books to read according to the timetable. Children also have a library which they can
access at anytime other than classes and read storybooks of their choice. For younger students there is an option
of getting help through games and videos in studying. For elder students, there is an option of fun assessment.
The teachers can monitor and manage through their accounts.
4.2 Place
The application is aimed at the young children of rural areas of Pakistan who do not have access to adequate
education and resources, particularly, books. Provided that government of Pakistan has distributed tablets in the
schools of each village, the application is built to work on those tablets. Once successful, it is aimed to
introduce the application to a wider audience, where all the students of Pakistan can access books and any kind
of books they are unable to find.
4.3 Price
Since the application will be working on the tablets provided by the government, the fee is also payable by the
government only because the sole purpose of the application is to ease the education system for students of rural
areas, hence it is not aimed to get those families pay for the application where they could rather pay for books.
The average subscription rate of educational applications range from $2.99 to $15 a month.
4.4 Promotion
The application will be promoted through school teachers and officials to the students and their parents to
participate in implementing the product. Banners and posters can also be used in villages to popularize the idea
of digital books. The idea could also be advertised through TV but we do not need to target a larger population
and costs will also be extra, so specific promotion will be used.

Conclusion
According to the report's analysis, the study delivered and demonstrated the integration of technology
knowledge, investigative capabilities, critical abilities, and innovative thought by the students' suggested
proposals. Both group participants accomplished their assignments effectively with the use of creative thinking
skills to identify the challenge, analyze possible responses, and select the right solution. To create the product
concept, identify the possible customers, and refine the proposal, techniques such as idea creation, sales
strategy, idea estimation, and idea refinement were used.
Implementing and deploying these solutions proposed by group members is projected to strengthen the
company's reputation and serve as a significant growth catalyst in the future. Although the costs of introducing
the proposed products can be quite high due to the technologies used, the many advantages they provide users,
such as increased productivity and earning their loyalty, render it worthwhile.
In general, the idea evaluation techniques used to test these projects resulted in the effective implementation of
the ideas. The survey findings indicate that the typical consumer is pleased with the announcement of the new
solutions and services, including the fact that they have some challenges and weaknesses that can be addressed
by the collaborative efforts of the programme development staff to ensure that the proposals are implemented in
a manner that meets customer needs.
