Abstract
The Smart Child Company (SCC) will operate in 2011. This company will
create and manage an innovative portal for Saudi elementary school students and
their parents. This portal will offer a friendly place where children can enjoy
themselves and learn while using the internet safely. Smart Child Portal (SCP) will
offer online lessons to support Saudi children in their formal education, including
stories from Islamic culture to increase students' knowledge and Islamic moral
values. Students will enjoy their time, as SCP wiIi provide games and offer a safe
I chat room and forum for the students to communicate with each other. The Smart
Child Company will provide service for elementary school students, and will
initially target grade 1 and grade 2 in 2011, extending to grade 3 and grade 4 in its
second year of 2012 and grade 5 and grade 6 in the third year, 2013. It is a
reasonable operation extension based on SCC capabilities and available funding.
Since the see is going to create a portal for elementary school students, the see
has conducted research on user requirements for the children's portal. A survey via
questionnaire was conducted to understand the requirements of Saudi children and
parents for the children's portal. Safe internet and online education to support
children in their formal study were the most important requirements for the parents.
Games and chat rooms were the most important requirements of the children. SCC
needs RM 799,623 to start up; this amount will be acquired from an entrepreneur
family, and the profits in 2011 will be RM 124,777.
