I worked on the redesign of an e-learning platform, with the goal of creating a more modern and engaging user experience for students. The project involved extensive research, user testing, and design iterations, but is currently on hold.
About project
I had the opportunity to work on a challenging and exciting project to redesign an e-learning platform Aurora for TU Wien. The goal of the project was to create a more user-friendly and engaging platform that would make learning more accessible and enjoyable for students.
Say goodbye to boring and monotonous e-learning experiences and say hello to a platform that makes education easy, convenient, and downright enjoyable. Get ready to embark on a learning journey like never before, as Aurora takes online learning to new heights with its modern and engaging design principles.
Research
The project involved conducting extensive research into user needs and behavior, as well as analyzing existing data to identify pain points and opportunities for improvement.
I conducted a comprehensive survey to gain valuable insights into the preferences of students regarding educational interfaces. The primary objective was to understand the specific features and functionalities that students desire in their educational tools, with a particular focus on the interfaces used at TU Wien. The survey also aimed to explore the mental models students have when interacting with educational interfaces and gather feedback on the current state of the art in this domain.
Short overview of the survey, just to get a taste:
The findings and feedback obtained from the survey will play a crucial role in informing the design decisions for my project, ensuring that the resulting educational interfaces are tailored to meet the needs and expectations of students effectively.
