Gradely
I was employed as a contract product designer to work with the design team on the development of Gradely's teacher and student apps. Gradely is a large platform that requires numerous designs. When I first arrived, we just had the web and mobile screens optimized, thus my major responsibility was to collaborate with our design lead in converting these web screens into a mobile app and also adding new features to the currently existing features. I worked on the app for students and teachers. The student app was less challenging to develop than the teacher's app because there was already an existing web version, as opposed to the teacher app, which we created from scratch.
After the successful completion of the student app, we started working on the teacher app. This was alot complex compared to the student app because we had to come up with a new design style and flow and also add several features like the setting of questions editor and marking of students editor interface.
The Gradely student app has a wide range of features and animations to make learning easier and more enjoyable for students. It's what I call a fantastic app. I collaborated with the design lead to bring this concept to reality. We made care to take a fun and entertaining approach because the majority of our target audience is children, and we wanted them to have an enjoyable experience.
We went with a fun and exciting approach for the onboarding screens
The feed section contains all updates and information that the student needs. A student will be able to see posts from classmates and they will be able to interact with the post by sharing, replying and even liking a post. Students will also be able to post information and also see any important update from their teachers and school.
This section allows students partake in online examination on the app from their school and teachers and after submission, teachers can mark each answers and send final results to students
When I was contracted by Gradely, I thought I was going to be working on just website designs but when I received the Product documentation, I knew there was a lot of work to do and I was ready for the challenge.
When designing a key feature already existing on web and you are to transform the designs into mobile app. attention to details is a top priority especially designs involving thousands of kids using the platform for learning and schooling. The experiece has to be top notch.
