ABSTRACT
School activities had to be moved to a virtual environment in order to keep the population safe from Covid-19. However, even though educational platforms proved to be rather useful during this episode by allowing classes to continue;one must not overlook the fact that these platforms were hardly adapted for the most elementary levels. Moreover, when children enter school, they need a lot of support from both parents and teachers. Then again, they also need to eventually develop autonomy and ownership on their school assignments. During lockdown, the by-product of homework became more complicated due to the need to upload exercises done on paper to an online space. Therefore, following a human-centered approach, this project pursues the goal of helping school-age children achieve more independence when doing homework incorporating digital tools. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
