Suggesting New Features based on research to for an Edtech startup to find its niche.

In this project, I was the solo designer who worked on it from start to finish. I worked on its UX, its UI and its animations. I did collaborate with other designers from time to time to fast pace the work, leading the team and making the vision come to reality. I worked on motion design as well. There were iterations on iterations, making the product better with each one.

Brief

The project started with a simple requirement - the design for a product they are conceptualising for students of Grade X-XII from International Curriculum. I was given an excel sheet of data they had collected.

My Take

I performed the Information Architecture and the Task Flows to come up with a unique App for that purpose. I also proposed new features like Step Assist and mapped out how the other features would work in action, bringing words to visuals.

Synthesis of Data from Google Form Responses

This happened in 2022 November. By the time I had joined in, the founders had an idea to make a tool for unlimited math questions using AI for practising maths. They had circulated a google form to all students to validate this. I joined in and started tagging the data and collecting insights.

Unlimited 'resources' already available

Resources here was mistaken for explanation videos, visuals and practise problems which seemed abundant

Practising through Computer

Might not be preferrable due to distractions, pen and paper still the best.

Free practise problems

Need the AI to be free as abundant problems are already available with quick google search

Real Life Application

Need of good tutors who can show real life application of maths - 'why to learn this'. Explanations can be done through 3D, VR, etc

Being Stuck

It's a major annoyance. Woudl be helpful to Connect with an expert or AI, who can help them to find solutions to hard questions or pinpoint mistakes

Stepwise Video Solutions with Reasoning

Practise problems could only be helpful if there is stepwise solutions with rationale - why this step or formula

Tailor Made

Can take advantage of AI to customise problems for user's pace, style of learning and understanding of concept.

Tips & Tricks

Need for someone to show tips and tricks, vedic maths and easier ways of solving a problem

Task Flows

To bring the vision to reality, its important to make flows and keep going back and forth to information architecture. This helps refine both. Here are some flows for features which helped me gain clarity on how to make this feature. Some features don

Step Assist - Learning through Assessment

As a constraint was MCQ itself, I came up with an innovative method called "Step Assist". With this method, user is learning while doing the quiz. They solve it step by step, instead of directly selecting the answer. They get clues on steps. They get hints, XP and explanations as well. I detailed it out completely as to what would happen in the sequence. This answers important questions like
how will gamification work? How do we provide explanation to students?

Collecting Data for Insights

Taking inspiration from other websites, I saw a tool called "xamplay" being implemented and suggested the same to the stakeholders on how we could collect the data to show the insights.

Information Architecture

This consumes the most time, thinking as organising features into categories and seeing what could be done how is a concern. I kept going back and forth from this and Task Flows.
