“This project is a complete embarrassment” the teacher shouted while Oliver tried to disappear into the bottom of his seat. It had been Oliver’s turn to present his Earth Science project essay to the science teacher at the University of Bristol – Faculty of Science. And while he was a good student, things had clearly not gone well this time.
By the time the science teacher stormed out of the conference room, Oliver knew what he had to do. An updated and better version of the science project was in order within two weeks, or he will lose his scholarship and clearly, his successful future at the faculty would be in jeopardy.
After days of research both from books and online, Oliver found something very interesting in his web research. He found a website, an online Learning Management System platform that promised help with your homework in case you needed such help.
Oliver was skeptical at the beginning, but then he realized he only had like 10 days left to come up with the perfect essay or he was in big trouble. While hesitating but secretly curious about this possible solution to his problem and whether it would work or not, he thought he’d give it a try and see what happens. So, he filled out a form on the website, that looked something like this. 👇
To his surprise, the website contacted him and he was soon paired up with a teacher to get the help he needed. His new online teacher, Jason Orwell, said he thought he could help him work up a clear outline for this science project, that would get things rolling in the right direction.
Oliver thought this sounded like a great strategy, but he was extremely anxious. What if it didn’t work? What if this isn’t what his faculty teacher actually expects from his science project essay? Clearly, there wouldn’t be enough time left to try anything else and remake the entire essay from scratch.
After 10 days of intensive hard work together with the online teacher, it was time for Oliver to present his new project to the disappointed faculty teacher. He was still very nervous and experiencing a racing heartbeat did not help at all. But he knew that this was the moment of truth. He was about to find out whether his faculty teacher likes his new essay or not.
Once he was done presenting his project, the faculty teacher grumbled something along the lines of “This is what I’m talking about… “Keep it up,” and Oliver breathed a huge sigh of relief.
And at that moment Oliver made it a goal to tell others about his experience, so others would benefit from the online platform that connects teachers to students. And so Askademic.com became a helpful resource for Oliver, and for his friends and colleagues.
By the time the next project rolled around, Oliver knew exactly who to turn to for the guidance he may have missed out on at the faculty at times. He realized that E-learning done right, and getting in touch with other teachers online is powerful and smart.
Who would have thought that an educational website that provides homework help and online video courses for different disciplines could make such a difference in a student’s life?
Well, all I can say is that we are happy we had a contribution to such a smart and helpful project for both students and teachers.
