Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - October 21, 2022) -  Yellowdig, the US-based Edtech Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) start-up, has announced a suite of core measures aimed at boosting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within learning spaces, as well as enhancing students' mental wellbeing. The company has underlined that DEI and the mental health of students that utilize its online, social-media-inspired learning platform will continue to be a primary focus for the firm. Its latest series of system updates and methodologies aim to highlight this.

賓夕法尼亞州費城-(Newsfile Corp.-2022年10月21日)-總部位於美國的EdTech軟件即服務(SaaS)初創企業YellowDig宣佈了一系列核心措施,旨在促進學習空間內的多樣性、公平性和包容性(DEI),並增強學生的心理健康。該公司強調,Dei和利用其在線社交媒體啟發的學習平臺的學生的心理健康將繼續是該公司的主要關注點。其最新的一系列系統更新和方法旨在突出這一點。

The most common emotion-buzzwords used to describe students' experience of school are 'stress' and 'boredom'. The problem is increasingly extending deeper than this, with 64% of students dropping out of college as a result of mental health problems. Roughly three-quarters of mental illnesses appear by the age of 24, which makes mental health support in schools and Universities all the more crucial.

用來描述學生在校經歷的最常見的情感流行語是“壓力”和“無聊”。這個問題正日益擴展到更深層次,64%的學生因心理健康問題而輟學。大約四分之三的精神疾病出現在24歲之前,這使得學校和大學的精神健康支持變得更加重要。

Reports highlight how mental health issues have damaging long-term effects on students' educational progression, with 81% of teachers stating that student engagement increases when educators properly value social-emotional well-being.

報告強調,心理健康問題如何對學生的教育進步產生破壞性的長期影響,81%的教師表示,當教育工作者適當重視社會情緒健康時,學生的參與度會增加。

As part of its announcement, Yellowdig is emphasizing the various means by which it is utilizing its online learning platform to offer enhanced mental health support to students. The focus of the online system is placed on building connections with peers, which helps to build students' confidence when interacting with other members of the community. The platform has patented and introduced a points system, in which students receive higher scores when they interact more with others, thereby providing incentives for users to collaborate and immerse themselves fully in the community. This is helping to reduce any sense of isolation or loneliness, both of which have become increasingly prevalent as a result of the shift to remote learning systems during the pandemic.

作為聲明的一部分,YellowDig強調了它正在利用其在線學習平臺為學生提供增強的心理健康支持的各種手段。在線系統的重點是與同齡人建立聯繫,這有助於學生在與社區其他成員互動時建立信心。該平臺已經申請了專利,並引入了積分系統,在該系統中,學生在與他人互動更多時會獲得更高的分數,從而為用户提供合作和完全沉浸在社區中的激勵。這有助於減少任何孤立感或孤獨感,由於在大流行期間轉向遠程學習系統,這兩種感覺都變得越來越普遍。

This is further fostered through Yellowdig's analytics feature, which shows which members of the student community are failing to interact with others and require support. This enables instructors to offer more specialized and tailored mental health services to the students that need it most.

通過YellowDig的分析功能進一步促進了這一點,該功能可以顯示學生社區中哪些成員未能與他人互動並需要支持。這使教師能夠為最需要的學生提供更專業和量身定做的心理健康服務。

In addition to this, senior officials at Yellowdig underline the platform's mission to boost DEI across the education sector. Over half of US school children are in racially concentrated districts, some of which are also segregated by income. These factors exacerbate existing diversity gaps, particularly in higher education.

此外,YellowDig的高級官員強調了該平臺在整個教育部門促進Dei的使命。超過一半的美國學童位於種族集中的地區,其中一些地區也按收入進行了隔離。這些因素加劇了現有的多樣性差距,特別是在高等教育方面。

Yellowdig's platform is fully inclusive, and its Community Health dashboard and Network Graph Visualization and Table enables educators to quickly identify the most at-risk individuals. Reports have found that Yellowdig's system doubles the standard rate of student engagement, and provides a 90% level of student satisfaction.

YellowDig的平臺是完全包容的,其社區健康儀錶板和網絡圖形可視化和表格使教育工作者能夠快速識別最危險的個人。報告發現,YellowDig的系統將學生參與率標準提高了一倍,並提供了90%的學生滿意度。

"At Yellowdig, we are passionate about deploying our platform as a tool that not only enhances the average standards of learning and engagement, but one that also helps educators to provide better mental health and DEI support. Our anonymity option helps to facilitate open conversations among students, which we have seen time and again leading to a greater sense of empathy, and a deeper appreciation of complex issues linked to race, gender and mental health," underlines Shaunak Roy, CEO and Founder of Yellowdig.

YellowDig首席執行官兼創始人肖納克·羅伊強調:“在YellowDig,我們熱衷於將我們的平臺作為一種工具來部署,不僅可以提高學習和參與的平均標準,還可以幫助教育工作者提供更好的心理健康和Dei支持。我們的匿名選擇有助於促進學生之間的公開對話,這一點我們一次又一次地看到,這導致了更多的同理心,並對與種族、性別和心理健康相關的複雜問題有了更深的理解,”Yellowdig首席執行官兼創始人肖納克·羅伊強調。
