Case Study: Folens saves teachers time with MagicBox Homework Space

MagicBox Helps Folens Build One-Stop Digital K-12 Assignment Platform

Folens, an Irish-owned educational publisher, needed an integrated digital platform to distribute its learning resources and address the significant teacher workload associated with creating, assigning, and grading homework. Their challenge was to find a robust, easy-to-use solution that worked for schools, teachers, students, and parents, especially as demand for remote learning tools surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. They partnered with vendor MagicBox to leverage its digital learning platform.

The MagicBox solution was customized to create "Homework Space," a tool that automates the grading of assignments and hosts all of Folens' digital content. This provided teachers with significant time savings and gave students instant feedback. The results were highly positive: a survey showed 78% of users save 1-2 hours per week, and the product achieved a 33% Net Promoter Score, indicating strong customer satisfaction and market success for Folens.
