How EdTech platform design created an intuitive and engaging learning experience
Project:
the project
Challenge:
The Teachchain team aimed to launch a groundbreaking EdTech solution, but lacked a clear vision for platform functionality and had no defined brand identity. They turned to Lazarev.agency to apply EdTech platform design principles, creating a purposeful user experience that prioritizes user acquisition and positions the startup for growth in a competitive market.
Approach:
We applied a full-scale EdTech platform design approach, beginning with in-depth UX research and extending through to final delivery. The team defined a clear product roadmap, crafted tailored experiences for three distinct user personas, and ensured that navigating the platform’s diverse features was intuitive, seamless, and optimized for user adoption.
The Project’s
Discovery Phase
Experience strategy
Our vision was clear: transform mundane learning into an exciting journey filled with rewards for everyone - students, educators, and contributors alike. We aimed to unveil a new facet of education, captivating young audiences and inspiring them to participate in the growth, sharing, and advancement of global IT education.
To achieve this, we integrated a variety of gamification elements, interactions, and a vibrant brand identity that invoked positive emotions and conveyed the promise of a brighter future.
Prioritizing the needs of contributors
With a platform structured around contributors, students, and sponsors, we initiated our focus on contributors. This stems from the pivotal need to attract those who generate learning materials for students, priming the learning journey. The contributor homepage showcases buyers, authored materials, sales volumes, and platform-wide earnings statistics.
Creating a quiz and learning materials
We've developed a straightforward process for contributors to showcase their expertise before crafting content on a particular topic. Once passed successfully, they can enrich their material with videos, images, and code in the “Contribute” section. Every contribution is saved automatically and subjected to a review by admins.
Enhancing student engagement
The student profile includes various features that display learning progress through a progress bar indicating module completion and overall learning time. Within the profile, students have the option to share their bio, view followers, see those they follow, identify sponsors, showcase skills and stats, and track token usage. We intentionally incorporate gamification elements to enhance student engagement and elevate the allure of their learning journey.
Visualising data on the sponsors’ dashboard
As the platform mainly offers paid materials, students require funds for learning. To support them, we introduced the sponsorship feature. Students have dedicated pages to connect with sponsors, while sponsors can track their impact through stats like investment, students supported, sponsorship requests, and more. We've also enabled students to showcase job-seeking progress, ensuring sponsors are informed about their investment's return.
Advocating the brand's presence across all digital
The enticing landing page prioritizes contributors and students, getting the platform up and running. Additionally, we crafted inviting social media banners and email designs, building a strong foundation of trust and engagement with the audience. To make learning easy on the move, our team designed a mobile interface of the data-rich B2C platform.
