About

The Israeli Ministry of Economy helps small and medium businesses get the tools they need to grow and scale. After understanding that there are no relevant educational sources in Hebrew, they decided to develop their own learning platform which would offer free online courses in various topics

Challenges & Solutions

Overcome the feeling of loneliness, usually associated with online learning platforms

Introducing a classroom widget which lets students see and interact with other business owners who are also taking the same course while taking into consideration privacy aspects

Learn more about relevant business owners in order to plan future course materials

Collecting demographic and occupational information during the sign up process + implementing gamification elements within the profile section which encourage business owners to complete it
