Project Overview
The goals and objectives of this project were to create a complete UX project from start to finish while at the Brainstation UX Certificate course. By taking interviews, building personas, card sorting, information architecture building, making user flows, wire-framing and eventually making a mock. Using our newly learned skills from the course, I created a concept based on remote tutoring I had done during the year and what could improve my experience as a teacher. My proposed app would help parents, teachers and students have access to an organized version of their children’s schedules and homework due dates, as well as a digital platform where teachers can upload class times and assignments so that parents and teachers can do less organizational work for their student or child.
Context and Objectives
During the pandemic, I had started working remotely as a tutor for students learning french and music. Following some conversations about the challenges of doing lessons online with friends and family who were also teachers, it became quite clear that the struggle for many teachers (myself included) was having a consolidated online space that could chart or host the activities we worked on for younger students. I was already quite familiar with Brightspace from my time working with NSCAD Extended Studies, so the particular challenge here was creating an application that was suitable for both younger students (7-12) as well as parents to track their child’s work.
