About Teach32
Teach32 is a gaming and learning console that offers a unique solution for interactive and digital education. Through wireless communication and by using a tablet, keyboard or mouse, a maximum of 32 children are enabled to interact with a digital school board. Both collaborative and individual education is facilitated in this way. Teach32 offers an open ecosystem where 3rd party developers can create their own content.

When we got involved with Teach32, the available software was made up of a collection of experiments and prototypes. While it worked (most of the time) there were a number of areas that desperately needed improvement, including a more user friendly interface, an increase in performance and robustness and the ability to allow 3rd party developers to (easily) create content for the platform.
The user friendliness of the system was significantly improved by the development of a specialized dashboard, much like you find in the latest game consoles. The dashboard allows teachers to very easily manage the children’s user accounts and configure, for example, which tablet is used by which child. The usability was also improved by standardizing the startup sequence of Teach32 enabled applications and games.
An absolute must-have feature of a system like Teach32 is that the interaction is always smooth and responsive, even when 32 children are interacting with the console. To achieve this we redesigned the entire framework from the ground up, making use of various complex multithreading solutions to increase the performance. The new design also provided the much desired stability.
Early on in the development process, we realized that the quality of the content available on the console is of major important of it’s success. Because of this, the decision was made to allow 3rd party developers to create content for Teach32. To support this a lot of effort has been put into developing a truly developer friendly API.
