What are the high level benefits and challenges?

To add a dose of reality it is probably worth thinking about the potential benefits (Business model type stuff). We can revisit this quickly just to ensure we have not missed anything...

Benefits (Value proposition):

  • Increased Happiness (fun)
  • Increased learning capability
  • Shared collaborative learning
  • Increased cultural empathy
  • New friendships
  • Secure and safe

Relationship (based on value proposition)

  • Entertainer
  • Teacher/teaching assistant
  • Facilitator
  • Cultural expert
  • Friend
  • Nanny?

Challenges

  • Cost for third countries (affordability)
  • Simple usability (6-10 year olds)
  • Available hardward (cheap computers)
  • Knowledge transfer (learn-ability)
  • Parental consent
  • Educational acceptance/consent
  • Security
  • Accessibility

Challenges could lead to a RAIDs log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies)
