IBM announces MobileFirst app for K-12 Students, Teachers


The app, IBM Watson Element for Educators, enables a new level of engagement for teachers by providing a holistic view of each student at their fingertips, including data on interests, accomplishments, academic performance, attendance, behaviors and learning activities. As a result, teachers are empowered with data-driven insights to help them address individual needs that can potentially lead to better outcomes throughout student's K-12 learning experiences.

This is the latest collaboration between IBM's enterprise information systems and Apple's expertise in design and leveraging its iOS ecosystem.

Schools have various levels of information systems, but aligning individual needs with interventions, then tracking those efforts, is a challenge. This new product seems to offer up some solutions.
