Context

Oak National Academy is an independent public body, creating free online resources for teachers and pupils across the UK. This project involved improving the efficiency of the content & project management tool used to create educational lessons, to enable the smooth & timely production of digital learning resources. As the the product designer on an agile team, I collaborated with the research team to uncover key issues with the existing system, and led the design effort to make significant improvements to the user experience.

Phase 1: Understanding user pain points

Working closely with user research helped my team uncover the specific pain points with existing navigation & search, and informed our focused approach for the MVP. I designed and led a research synthesis and an HMW ideation workshop (How might we?) and as a team we collaboratively aligned on a focus for an MVP, which was to improve access to creating and editing lessons.
