### Purpose The app doesn't quite feel finished and can be confusing for the users. The learning activities are not easy to follow despite significant scaffolding. We are also now moving from a single activity to multiple learning activities which means the user experience needs to reflect this. Our goal is to update the UI, so the purpose of the application is clear. Ideally it becomes easy for teachers to request topics and test out assignments with their classroom. ### Principles - Familiar. Ideally we want to make the UI similar to other applications that teachers are used to so there isn't much cognitive load. Look at other applications for inspiration. Understand what it is that they might be doing and try to learn from them. - Easy. The application and activities are novel and unique which makes things tough for the user. We should focus on making the experience as intuitive as possible. ### Outcome Visioning We are able to create a simple UI that is very clear to teachers the types of activities and how they work. Teachers understand clearly the goals of the project and how we plan to shape the product going forward. ### Brainstorming - What do I already know about this project? We have got some user and teacher feedback in the past. We have also spoken to a few designers and got their inputs. - What don’t I know that I need to find out? I am still unfamiliar how to design for complex and novel UI. - Who can I talk to who might provide insights? I've reached out to most of the designers I know. Can perhaps go back to Rishik if I'm willing to pay him some money. - What can I read or listen to for relevant ideas? It's probably worth checking out some videos and books on UI design. ### Actions - [x] Get insights and inputs from Malvika ✅ 2024-09-03 - [x] Get insights and inputs from Rishik ✅ 2024-09-03 - [x] Study apps that are commonly used by teachers ✅ 2024-12-10 - [x] Draw the UI/UX flow on paper ✅ 2024-12-10 - [x] Mock up design for home page ✅ 2024-12-11 - [x] Mock up design for assignment page ✅ 2024-12-12 - [x] Mock up design for documentation page ✅ 2024-12-17 - [x] Mock up design for settings page ✅ 2024-12-17 - [x] Mock up design for analytics page ✅ 2024-12-20 - [x] Reach out to UI designers in network to get feedback and ideas 📅 2024-12-24 ✅ 2024-12-30
