360Learning - Projects

This case study showcases my expertise in managing complex end-to-end elearning flows and creating a streamlined, user-friendly experience for admins planning and creating courses for their employees.

I spearheaded a comprehensive revamp of the total project tool interface, leading to a substantial decrease in confusion and complexity, and a meaningful escalation in the quantity of projects and evaluations accomplished.

Status

Launched Late 2022

Highlights

  • Simplified projects layout, allowing users to quickly create tasks, courses, and complete projects in just three stages.

  • Created easy add reviewer to course functionality that notifies the admins of review progression and reviewers of their assignment.

  • New dedicated "Review Mode" to guide authors/reviewers through reviewing course content to approval.

Context

Problem

Administrators felt that the projects tool was very complex & confusing. They didn’t really understand how to use it and would rather just make the courses separately. While authors somewhat knew about projects, but didn't understand them. They only used it when administrators pinged them on content to create and even then couldn't find those pings.

Goals
  • Improve user experience by simplifying the interface with an intuitive redesign.

  • Ensure a clear and smooth sense of progression for users.

  • Streamline the review process for both administrators and reviewers to enhance efficiency.

  • Expand project notifications with a designated space for improved user awareness.
