Minimalist Academy — An Skill Assessment App for Measure Student

Muhammad Luthfi Dzulfiqor

Project Overview:
As a UI/UX Designer, I led the development of "Minimalist Academy," a mobile application designed to provide objective skill assessments for participants in a learning academy. This initiative aimed to replace subjective self-reflections with standardized evaluations, thereby enhancing mentors' ability to monitor and support student progress.
Role and Responsibilities:
- User Research: Conducted in-depth discussions with clients and observed participant interactions to identify challenges in the existing self-assessment process.
- Problem Definition: Analyzed findings to pinpoint key issues, including participants' uncertainty about their comprehension of the material and mentors' difficulties in accurately assessing student understanding.
- Design and Prototyping: Developed user flows and sitemaps to create an intuitive assessment experience that aligns with established learning standards.
- Client Collaboration: Engaged in continuous communication with stakeholders to ensure the design met both user needs and business objectives.
Design Process:
1. Empathize:
- Conducted interviews and observations to understand user behaviors and pain points.
- Identified that participants lacked confidence in their self-assessments, and mentors faced challenges in evaluating student progress.
2. Define:
- Articulated the core problem: the need for an objective assessment tool that accurately reflects participants' understanding and aligns with learning goals.
3. Ideate:
- Brainstormed potential solutions, focusing on creating a user-friendly interface that facilitates easy navigation and engagement.
4. Prototype:
- Designed wireframes and interactive prototypes using Figma, incorporating feedback from stakeholders to refine the user experience.
5. Test:
- Although user testing was conducted by the client, I provided guidance on testing methodologies and iterated on the design based on preliminary feedback.
Challenges and Solutions:
- Transition from Notion to Proprietary Platform:
- Collaborated with the development team to ensure seamless integration of existing data into the new application.
- Ensuring User Engagement:
- Implemented gamification elements to motivate participants and enhance the assessment experience.
Outcome:
Delivered a comprehensive design prototype for the Minimalist Academy app, featuring:
- Objective Assessments: Standardized quizzes and evaluations aligned with learning standards.
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive navigation and clear visual hierarchy to enhance user experience.
- Progress Tracking: Dashboards for participants and mentors to monitor performance and identify areas for improvement.
Reflection:
This project reinforced the importance of user-centered design and effective stakeholder communication. By addressing both participant and mentor needs, the Minimalist Academy app stands as a testament to thoughtful design that bridges gaps in educational assessment.
