Research

We are a team of MBA students from the University of Manchester and are writing to request your support.     

With the COVID-19 pandemic creating a significant change for many educational establishments in needing to deliver courses virtually, Conan AI Teachers Assistant was developed by Conan Labs (www.meetconan.com), an Education Technology (EdTech) start-up organisation with a purpose of improving education delivery in remote learning environments. Conan AI Teachers Assistant uses Conversational Analysis to monitor remote learning environments and provide digital insights into student and teacher engagements.    

We are looking to interview senior leaders at a variety of educational institutions in order to evaluate product features and pricing preferences. The interview should take around 40 minutes to complete.
