Learnings
A key learning from this project was navigating the complexity of redesigning a core page for Study.com that served diverse user needs across multiple Study.com products. Collaborating with stakeholders, designers and product managers, I identified core user requirements by breaking the lesson page into modular components. This approach ensured the design was scalable, adaptable, and met the needs of users across all of our products.
Another learning unique to this project was the importance of optimizing readability for large sections of text. I evaluated and researched factors such as optimal line lengths, typefaces, and color contrast to enhance the reading experience. In the redesign, I focused on improving readability by adjusting the maximum characters per line, increasing text contrast by changing the color from gray to black, and recommending the use of a serif font.
Next Steps
Building on these learnings, the next major step was scaling the design across all product segments, including 4-12th grade students, test prep, college accelerator, homeschooling, tutoring, and the logged-out experience, while gradually testing it across Study.com.
The redesigned lesson page also unlocked a new roadmap for the 4-12th grade teacher product, enabling the development of long-requested features and tools that required a restructured foundational experience. Upcoming projects in various stages of design and development include:
- AI Pause Points Feature
- Onboarding personalization
- Curriculum Guide
- Classroom Creation
- Dashboard Experience
- Mastery Tracking
