My Role
I was the lead product designer, working closely with an internal developer and an external front-end team to manage all visual designs and user experience. The platform consisted of an extensive UX/UI for product onboarding, curriculum framework, interaction, chat, search, social graphs, and virtual study groups. An iterative design approach over 2.5 years with an ongoing student-teacher feedback loop helped define and improve product features.
Learn.co: Lessons and chat.
Learn allows self-directed students to consume lessons, work on labs, and seek assistance from other learners using the "Ask Questions" feature. In the second iteration, the chat eventually evolved to live chat. Minimum UI provides fewer distractions, and a set of guiding lights helps students move successfully through the curriculum. A third iteration of the chat includes group chats, DM, and study groups for a full collaborative learning experience.
Learn.co: Study Groups
The Study group feature added another layer to validate the social learning hypothesis on the Learn platform. Students were assigned group projects and encouraged to create/join study groups and communicate within the app.

Organization Management
This tool helps teachers organize and manage their cohorts, utilizing rich data to track students' status and performance. Additionally, it provides a student-facing profile page to make self-paced learning more effective.
Curriculum Management
A centralized curriculum builder allows teachers to manage, organize, and create custom curriculum.
Creating curriculum
Teachers can clone, edit, or create lessons within the management tool using inline editing and search functionality. The drag/drop and custom tagging features simplify the creation process, making organizing and finding content easier.
Create / Edit / Clone Lessons
Teachers have multiple options for creating lessons. The search feature enables them to find similar lessons for customization, and an outline editing tool helps teachers formulate new lesson structures.
