Findings®
Reexamining previous designs and finiding opportunities from painpoints.
1. Landing experience
To design for both students and educators, we studied the journey map for both target groups. We wanted our learners to feel confident from the very beginning of entering Skill Up with IBM. One of our focus was on the landing experience. Clear indication of where you are and the flexibility to switch between the two landing pages for the two groups were important.
2. Learning experience
Events are categorized as upcoming and recorded. As the five week learning series progress, more learnings are archived. As much as we want to use this as an opportunity to promote Open P-TECH, archiving learning is another important area of focus.
