Design Solutions

How might we increase lesson utilization and increase overall user engagement?

Solution

Progress Indicators: Sense of Progress = Motivation Boost. When users can see how far they’ve come and what’s left, they’re more likely to stay motivated to complete the task.

A more guided experience: Creating a recommended order of completion with clear labeling:

  • Personalized Lesson Recommendations: Based on completed activities or skipped modules.

How can we promote consistent daily use of the Classroom Champions SEL curriculum

Solution

Daily Check-ins: Integrated daily check-ins to encourage regular logins and promote consistent use of the daily activity, helping make Classroom Champions a routine part of the classroom day.

Weekly Activities and badges: Weekly student activities not only encouraged more frequent teacher use of the platform but also increased student engagement by offering badges for completing their work.

More engagement for students

Shareable athlete pages for students that include educational interactive activities about the athletes and sports they play.

Design System and accessibility

Development of a design system to provide consistency and to streamline product development.
