K12 Admin Access

I Description: With our push to further grow in the K12 space we needed to build a place for teachers to be able to view the work the students had accomplished as well as set goals for the content they need to learn.

I was responsible for the overall direction and UX around how to interact with the different screens within the tool and view the content. The team was comprised of me, another designer, a product owner, and 3 developers.

Team: UX- Me, Visual Designer, PO, 3 Developers

Activities: Lo-Fi Designs, Hi-Fi Designs, User Testing with Stakeholders

Part 1- Ideation

We worked with the Product Owner to go over the initial documentation given to us. This documentation included business requirements, some technical requirements, and a rough sketch of an idea of what the table view should include.

We parsed through the content to determine the main use cases included

1. Checking for activity completion

2. Reviewing assessment details

3. Adding, Editing, and Modifying groups

Part 2- Lo-Fi Design

We paused for a moment to complete a competitive analysis of products such as Duolingo, Google Classroom, and Blackboard to see how other companies were executing interactions for administrators.

I then got to work making lo-fi sketches as to what the dashboard screen may look like. We wanted a section at the top for teachers to at-a-glance gather all the data they may need. I also started parsing though filtering options as well as how to display the large amount of details each group offers.

Part 3- Team up with UI Designer

We then brought our UI designers into the mix full-time and worked together to flesh out some more of the interactions and put that pixel-perfect finishing touch. In this stage I acted more as a “consultant” reviewing things as they were designed and offering constructive feedback and things to consider.

Part 4- Developer Handoff and Collab

We then tested the two different options side-by-side to see which one users liked better. We created test questions with hypotheses to quantitatively and qualitatively test the designs.
