I think Marx is a good role model. As a hypothetical user, say a parent, of this platform I’d get the impression of a planned and organized environment. Moreover, this platform communicates that I will stay informed and be provided with important insights into my child’s learning. This suggests Marx is considering the power of perception in his design…such a critical part of attaining buy-in.
