What if schools talked to everyone who cares?
Most school tools are built for one parent and one inbox. This prototype explores what it looks like to treat supporters — parents, guardians, grandparents, counselors — as first-class users with real relationships, preferences, and a view of their own.
The concept
Supporters aren't learners — and the experience should reflect that
A supporter is any non-learner adult with a stake in a learner's progress. They're not doing coursework. They're trying to understand what's happening, spot problems early, and know when to act.
The supporter–learner link is its own entity, carrying relationship type and per-relationship preferences. Two adults watching the same child can hold completely different alert settings.
Why it matters
The gap between a learner's network and what tools show them
A single learner might have a parent who wants every alert, a grandparent checking in weekly, and a school counselor tracking attendance. Today they all get the same generic email digest — or nothing.
This prototype asks: what does each of those experiences look like if designed deliberately, for that person, for their relationship to that learner?
Explore the prototype
Three supporters. Three scenarios. Each designed to demonstrate a distinct slice of the experience.
Marcus enrolled 8 months ago and was moving steadily through the 22-course program. He's stalled on Course 7, hasn't logged in for 12 days, and has 3 assignments overdue. Demonstrates the alert surface and what a parent sees when a learner's momentum fades.

Lucia is on Course 20 — almost done, just started electives. Each has different per-learner alert settings. Demonstrates multi-learner management across very different program stages.
