Redesign of the Centrs ZIN website


An easy-to-use website for teachers, students, and their parents to monitor a child's emotional state and improve it if necessary

About the client - Centrs ZIN


The Centrs ZIN is a knowledge centre that strengthens adults' knowledge, understanding, methods, and opportunities to explore themselves so that they can become a secure foundation for their child's growth. The mission of the Centrs ZIN is to ensure that every child can experience safe, trusting, and supportive relationships at every stage of their development and in every environment with adults who know and care.





The Centrs ZIN has various educational programs and methods to help you better understand the emotional situation of children in different settings, such as school, home, or elsewhere in society. In this way, every child in Latvia feels heard, seen, and valued, and every adult can support, listen and inspire them!

Project challenge


At the moment of cooperation, our client had a solution - schools.emu.lv. It is a digital tool to track students' emotional well-being and needs, providing teachers with practical suggestions to support the student and the class. The website had various types of functionality that were limited, as well as a cumbersome user interface that needed to be improved.

The client approached us with the need to improve the functionality and usability of the system, which included the following tasks that Midis needed to implement - the closed parts of the emu.lv website:

  • Technology changed from Ruby to Laravel Nova programming languages;

  • Development of usability improvements;

  • Implementation of a screening history business process;

  • Development of site navigation enhancements.

Performing multiple screenings


Previously, a client could only have one screening per class.

Now the client can have multiple screenings per class, see the history and compare the current results with the previous ones.

It is essential because EMU results help identify a student's emotional state, which manifests in different ways and signals emotional and health problems.


Results management


The possibility of multiple screening allows for the comparison of data. These data are extracted and displayed in different cross-sections.

The data are reflected in different colours, which signal the emotional threshold and help to understand the seriousness of the situation.


Task

Midis was tasked with improving the website's performance, functionality, and usability for the Centrs ZIN Administrator Unit - skolas.emu.lv.

Solution

Migration of the existing solution from Ruby to Laravel Nova programming languages.

Result

With the new solution, the client is able to manage the results of the surveys better, conduct multiple screenings per class, and understand whether the emotional state of the class has improved. Responsive website.
