Lessons on targeted goals from a Google backed open source education project — Oppia

Here is an interview we did with Diana Chen from Oppia. Oppia Foundation is a non-profit that offers an online platform, which makes it easy to create interactive lessons. As announced on Google’s Open Source Blog in 2014, the launch of Oppia was Google’s second educational experiment.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

• Keeping your focus razor sharp when it comes to overall strategy helps allocating resources wisely and also maintaining momentum.
• While it is tempting to design a project that checks all your boxes, the focus should always be on the end-user.
• All your larger strategic decisions should be based on evidence.

I encourage you to read the full interview, as it gives valuable advice if you are planning or already started an education project.
