It did. At that time this was a system that would be deployed within each school on its local network for a lot of other functionality. The pitch around lesson plan management was sharing and exchange internally within the school while also allowing teachers to sell in the marketplace network of other people on the system. The schools themselves would be able to build a library of quality lesson plans that they could use to continuously try to improve each aspect of the classes they taught by experimenting with more effective ways of teaching each lesson within each class.

That's awesome. Did this system go into production? If so, were you able to monitor how (or if) teachers used the shared curriculum to iteratively improve curriculum? Did the platform manage discrete files or were lesson content/relevant media/assessments/etc. associated with each other in a network of some kind?

It's a topic of personal interest. I believe teachers are far too isolated in their lesson planning/curriculum creation which leads to significant redundancies in labor, glacial curriculum improvement, and contributes to the difficulty serving the needs of my individual students.

After the funding fell through we never got to build it, but you describe the exact problem.

I may publish the business plan one day just for fun in case anyone else wants to follow through on it. :)
