The task: prototype a social learning platform that could integrate into an existing LMS and allow students to get specialized help with their courses from tutors and practice modules. How might the interface prioritize human-to-human connection? What aspects of an LMS would be essential to this application? Most importantly, how could we design a tool that would make less work for students, not more? Our group of five conducted user research, created personas and scenarios, and sketched our way to a dynamic prototype in Figma.
Rather than designing an entire LMS, we focused on the aspects of the interface that would emphasize human connection and ease of learning.
We drew directly on feedback from users that we tested along the way and produced a high-fidelity prototype equipped with an onboarding flow, tutor selection, and additional learning resources. Our interface features simple iconography and quick, clean interactions to help keep users (students) focused on the task at hand.
