Project Overview:

Undertaken as part of an assignment at Ironhack, this initiative aligned with the burgeoning trend in the AI education market, which is forecasted for significant expansion in the upcoming years. Conducted in collaboration with Mentorus, a provider of affordable high-quality math AI tutoring apps tailored for K12 education, the objective was to contribute to the development of Mentorus by designing dashboards for teachers, parents, and students.

Problem Statement:

AI Tutoring App users need to find a way to Access Relevant Learning Resources, and Track Their Progress Effectively because they want to feel Motivated, Engaged, and Empowered in their educational journey.

Process:

• Discover and Define: Conducted comprehensive desk research on competitive apps and websites to analyze their features and functionalities. Interviews and surveys were conducted with teachers and parents to gather insights. Key findings revealed specific preferences, such as teachers' interest in Weekly Individual Student Progress, focusing on factors like Speed and Accuracy, and parents' priorities in Child Progress Tracking, including identifying Strengths and Weaknesses, Assignment Completion Rate, and Number of New Skills Learned.
• Persona and Journey Mapping: Developed personas representing teachers, parents, and students, and mapped out their respective journeys to empathize with their needs and pain points.
• Mid-Fi Design: Utilized mid-fidelity designs to experiment with layout, prioritization, and site map. Strived to achieve a balanced presentation of visual and textual elements while selecting appropriate data for display.
• Hi-Fi Design: Maintained a consistent green tone throughout the site to ensure neutrality in presenting student data. Incorporated feedback from stakeholders, instructors, and peers to refine design elements.

Challenges:

• Addressing Diverse User Needs: Navigating through the diverse needs of users posed design challenges.
• Balancing Iterative Design Process: Balancing iterative design with project timelines presented challenges in refining the app prototype while ensuring timely delivery and prioritizing essential features.
• Achieving Visual Design and Branding Balance: Striking a balance between maintaining an academic aesthetic and displaying a substantial amount of visual and textual data while ensuring ease of navigation and comprehension for users.

Result:

The culmination of the project was the development of a comprehensive dashboard for a math learning application tailored to the needs of teachers, parents, and students in the K12 education sector. The dashboard incorporated relevant data points, user-friendly navigation, and comprehensive content to support meaningful learning experiences.

Details:

• Type: Group project with 3 members
