Week 7: Desk based research and Ethics

During this week’s seminar we looked at a TED Talk by Sir Ken Robinson which highlights the similarities in the global education systems is the past 50 years. The talks highlights how many employers now see a degree as a benchmark of education and will no longer 'guarantee' you a job. The talks also highlight that all compulsory education put the subjects of Mathematics and Science as the most impotent subjects often giving subjects such as Dance and Drama a backseat. As a team we are able to use this information in order to market towards people who maybe didn't get the chance to study a subject that they were passionate about in school or college.
We intend to use this information to our advantage as the Application can use experiences from recent graduates and current students to re-engage with universities and the experiences that they have to offer. We also want the app to highlight what kind of societies the university has to offer as we believe that this will be more appealing to prospective students.
