- The context is first two weeks of classes. The job: class day, time and location lookup.
- We chose the Material design language to redo the schedule view in the student portal.
- In a week-long design sprint, we developed sketches, designs and prototypes.
- We vetted assumptions with student usability testing, using realistic examples for deeper insights.
- We concluded the week with a UI specification for development.
- The redesigned schedule application performed well with a sample group of students.
