Multi-platform digital service which allows you to correct, prepare and evaluate tasks for primary school teachers and pupils

RedPen is the only multi-platform digital service that allows to correct, prepare and evaluate homework for teachers and elementary school pupils, through the transposition of "classic" school methods into digital. Redpen is a digital service created to make homework easy to prepare for teachers and fun for children. In particular, the Red Pen web app was created during the covid 19 pandemic with the aim of creating a single platform that elementary school teachers and students could use in distance learning, finding it as simple and intuitive as possible. In fact, one of the problems highlighted by the research carried out among teachers and parents is the difficulty of having to learn to use multiple platforms, often very complex and not very intuitive for both students and teachers. But this is not the only problem found. In fact, another major problem that emerged from the research is the lack of devices, especially in families that are less well-off and have more children and have to attend classes at different times. For this reason, an educational platform was designed that was not only accessible on computers, but could also be used on smartphones and tablets.
