Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for managing athletic and other lessons lack functionality for administrators, instructors, and students, particularly in predicting desired rosters and efficiently managing lesson offerings, cancellations, and instructor assignments.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for electronic lesson management that includes predicting a desired roster for new lesson offerings based on characteristics such as location, skill level, and user preferences, and automatically sending invitations and altering lesson details based on responses, with integrated user interfaces for administrators, instructors, and students to manage lesson scheduling, cancellations, and instructor assignments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current instructor websites are used for signing up for lessons, then individual lesson registration is possible, but functionality for administrators, instructors, and students is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides a universal platform that serves multiple users (administrators, instructors, students) with diverse functions including roster prediction, scheduling, cancellations, and instructor assignments, replacing multiple separate tools with one integrated system

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If manual roster management is used, then flexibility in student selection is maintained, but time consumption and administrative burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelesson management efficiencyVSAvoidadministrative time

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by predicting the desired roster before the lesson is created, using characteristics like location, skill level, and user preferences to automatically identify and invite potential students, eliminating the need for manual roster assembly

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by automatically generating rosters, sending invitations, and managing scheduling based on input characteristics, reducing the need for manual administrative intervention

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If automated roster prediction is implemented, then lesson management efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelesson management efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from student responses to invitations to refine and adjust the predicted roster, continuously improving accuracy based on actual user behavior and preferences

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
