It's no secret that Covid-19 did force the world to adopt virtual learning and teaching methods. Learn or Teach is an affordable learning and teaching platform designed to be used by teachers and students. It's safe to say that by far, Learn or Teach is the most interesting project I have worked on. Simply because it challenged me to work out of my comfort zone as a UI/UX designer.

When the product owner approached me, he knew what he wanted, but did not know how to execute his idea. My role in this project expanded beyond a UI/UX designer or a researcher.

After conducting several meetings with the product owner, I understood the goal and scope of the project. The product owner put together a team, with whom I collaboratively worked on the SRS document. The SRS document served as a solid foundation for me throughout the project.

I conducted extensive research about similar products, to better understand the scope of this project. Even though I came across many, I was able to narrow it down to six products. I also did an online research to expand my horizon. Due to Covid-19 outbreak, there is a huge demand for online learning, and I was able to find multiple forums and groups where users discuss LMS related matters. I analysed the findings from these groups and forums to overcome common issues in related products.

I was able to identify the essential features of each of these products and the reasons why users liked one product over another. For example, one of the products was outstanding than others in terms of user likeness due to its simple user experience offered.

Based on simplicity, my design creates a similar user experience for users who are planning to use Learn & Teach as opposed to similar products.
