Problem Statement “Learning a university mathematics curriculum requires understanding step by step methodology. Long term retention of information is contingent upon initial presentation followed by reinforcement and review of the subject material.” Student Audio-Visual E-Tool
Problem Clarification Source: Conquering Math Anxiety by Cynthia Arem Student Audio-Visual E-Tool
Problem Clarification Why Do Math Classes Not Work Now? ▼ Chalkboard/Whiteboard (Non-digital) Used to display the process driven steps in math Requires heavy note-taking to write down steps ▼ Homework Problems Repetition of process on different data Any errors in acquiring process reinforced ▼ Class Time/Review Time Repeat process with teacher present Loss of productivity Student Audio-Visual E-Tool
Proposed Solution “Develop a system that will capture the process by synchronizing the written material with the verbal instruction being given by the professor to allow for correct repetition and reinforcement.” Student Audio-Visual E-Tool

Marketing Plan Who Is Our Customer? The target market for our product is university mathematics departments. Our target market includes the more than 2100 public and private four-year colleges in the United States. Do They Need Our Product? Initially we would like to interview at least 10 university mathematics departments to access their interest in the product. Our goal is to sell five systems to each. Student Audio-Visual E-Tool
Marketing Plan Who Is Our Initial Customer? Our initial customer is the Old Dominion University Mathematics Department. What Return Can Our Customer Expect To Receive On Their Investment? This solution provides an easier and better way for students to see and hear the lecture again. It does not require one or more cameras. It will allow students to resize the presentation to their preferences. Student Audio-Visual E-Tool
Funding Plan Our funding will come from an approved SBIR submitted to the National Science Foundation in their “Applications In Support Of Learning” category and from in-kind donations by Old Dominion and our company. “Under this subtopic, proposers will need to address the factors unique to the education market and case histories of other similar education ventures. So in addition to demonstrating knowledge of content, applicable pedagogical principles, and the technology they propose to use; they must also show awareness of the business issues as they apply in the education arena, issues such as marketing, finance, distribution channels, IP, and acceptance of the proffered technology.” http://www.eng.nsf.gov/sbirspecs/IT/it.htm Student Audio-Visual E-Tool
Conclusion • Capturing the process is a critical part of the learning process • Current technologies are insufficient • The organizational structure is in place to complete the task • Milestones necessary for the completion of this project are clearly defined. • Applicable funding source has been chosen.
