Navigatiq is an app targeted at both teachers and students, offering communication and exchange between them outside of the time spent at school. It supports teachers in having real-time, accurate and reliable feedback, while it also helps students to find their own voice and express their views.

The app offers teachers a way to improve their preparation, by receiving real-time immediate feedback on subjects discussed in the classroom and their lessons more broadly. The pupils are encouraged to share their views and reflections, using the app also as a safe space to discuss emotions and seek further information on the matters discussed that remain unclear, which they may feel intimidated to ask in front of the other pupils.

This solution can help teachers track their students' involvement in the education process, as well as the subject matter and tasks assigned. It also helps the whole class to participate in the improvement of teaching and the understanding of the subjects.

Thanks to the app students can identify problematic areas of their learning and seek educational and psychological counselling. Navigatiq can be also used as a bullying and pathological behaviour prevention
