KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 -- Aussie start-up, Prosper Education has created the Prosper Education Home App, specifically to let parents gain back valuable guilt-free time without having to think about what they are going to do with their kids.
The current lockdown saw its own staff wondering what to do with their children while they juggled work and childcare duties.
Being app developers, staff resorted to handing over test devices to keep their kids busy while they worked, even though the apps were originally designed for ESL teachers to use in schools.
Interestingly, much to their surprise, especially being native English speakers, the apps that were originally made for classroom teachers kept their young children busy for hours, and consistently over weeks.
According to Prosper Education chief executive officer, Genevieve Gilmore in a statement, the current lockdown environment has shown parents just how hard it is to manage their children's time and education from home.
"It's a happy accident that our original content designed for ESL students, actually works really well with native speakers. The research suggests that native language learning and second language learning differ, however we've found that for this age group they seem to be learning similarly."
