MY ROLE

Senior UI/UX Designer

Introduction

BYJU'S FutureSchool's interactive, online learning platform is now available in seven countries: United States, Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and Indonesia. Created as a school of the future, our company's mission is to help transform children into confident, active learners and creators by inspiring them to explore and create mobile apps, websites, games, music, and art.

My Role

I'm the Senior designer for this project. I collaborated with product designers (Tony Aube, Anukriti, Anu Philip), Art director (Jonathan) and product managers (Abhishek Lahiri, Nikhil Raghava) throughout this project.

Goal

Merge the best of Osmo, BYJU’S, Toppr & WhiteHat Jr to create the ultimate remote learning platform for kids ages 5 to 14.

BYJU'S FutureSchool is an online education technology platform that offers both private — one student to one dedicated teacher - — online, personalized classes, as well as close group online classes with one dedicated teacher to four students. Designed to be a school of the future in our approach to teaching and how our students learn, our hands-on, interactive curriculum inspires creative thinking and generates creative outcomes. Our proprietary, research-based curriculums include coding for students grade 1-12, music for students grades 1-12, and math for students grade 1-8 with additional advanced math classes in development.

What makes BYJU'S FutureSchool truly a school of the future?

At BYJU'S FutureSchool, we encourage our students to try new things, take their time, and take risks, rather than focus on just getting the answer or finishing fast. We do this through our interactive activity-based curriculum as well as our teachers celebrating mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow. This philosophy empowers our students to take chances and embrace making mistakes which, studies have shown, fosters key life skills including:

Our students are both thriving and loving our future school and teachers. But don't take our word for it.

For full transparency and to make sure we're always striving for excellence, we've created a real-time rating system for all our active students to submit a review online after each class. On average, we maintain 4.7 Stars out of 5!

How does this school of the future help your child learn and grow?

BYJU'S FutureSchool uses a holistic approach to educating your child.

Impact

As this is a huge project, we released the new designs in phases. For confidentiality reasons I have omitted the actual values for these metrics.

Early Ideation

Aspirational Space Theme

A strong space theme ties the experiences together and adds fun, visual elements, making the app stand out from the boring competition.

The space theme is also very fitting of the Byju's purple.

Process

Design Sprints

We conducted design sprints to facilitate collaboration cross-departments. Product Designers, Product Managers and Creatives contributed their fresh ideas in this sprint. The purpose of these sprints is to align everyone on the same goal—To give our consumers best learning experience.

After alot of Discussions we decided on few things like:

Device Selection for Best Experience

LearnStation's tabletop camera system allows the device to see desk workspace and allows the child to interact with objects infront of the device.

LearnStation has a front-facing camera that can be used at the same time as the tabletop to allow a better connection between the child and the teacher.

Later on we decided to develop it for Mobile as well.

Brainstormed with each others on initial Wireframes for the Designs.

User Flows

We mapped each archetype to their user journey on the app, with their respective success metrics.

We divided the whole experience into 3 parts:

Dashboard Experience

It mainly consists of the Home Screen as well Journey Screen. You need to Schedule/Cancel your classes according to your time which then appear on your Journey Page as well. We do provide upto 2 Cover up classes for our students if they miss something, they could easily schedule that too. If you need to change the Subscription Plan that also is covered under Dashboard experience.

In-Class Experience

It mainly consists of the 1:1 classes with teachers as well Presentations with whole Group. It also has Art classes, Breakour Rooms in which your perform fun activities with Teacher, Various types of Quizzes, Report Card discussions in Class with Teacher. We also have Customer Support (Tech Help) if there is any prob in class.

Post-Class Experience

It mainly consists of the Assignments Submissions, Activities (Homework) which needs to be performed before joining another class. We also have Report Card View which show how you are performing in your subjects. We also provide Class Revisions which help you recall your syllabus.

Early Designs

Astronomical Icons for Subjects

Subjects are also designed in space theme so to attract children aged 5-14 to Byju's Future School by creating a visually appealing and engaging experience that captures their curiosity and imagination.
