Project Idea/Concept
For this project, we aim to design an APP that helps people customize their class according to their own needs. It’s like a courses version of “DZDP(大众点评)+Didi”. On one hand, it enables people who want to learn something new to contact the teacher(s) directly. On the other hand, it enables people who want to teach to reach out to their potential students.
In our product, the users will be able to find online courses as well as offline courses and workshop info. Our platform will be a mobile phone (APP) as well as PC (web). Generally speaking, everyone who has the will to learn or teach could be our audience. According to the situation in real life, the potential users may lie in the age of 20-40.
We design this project to address the demand for people to learn and teach. Nowadays there is an increasing demand for people to learn more things in order to either enrich their skill sets or just for fun. But they have limited time and can’t go to traditional extra curriculum school to learn. There is also a group of people who have a good command of something (language, music instrument, drawing, etc) and are willing to teach. But they don’t have the channel to reach out to the potential students.
This APP aims to address this problem by connecting these two parts – students can find the teacher through class request and teachers can find students through these request or by offering classes.
Story Board
Our storyboard approaches the same “happy ending” from two sides – the students and the teacher(s).
Storyboard from the students’ side
Storyboard from the teachers’ side
This APP serves as the bridge between teachers and students. Instead of simply listing out all the choices, we adopt a similar form of Didi – students can “request” a course with their expectations (like sending an order for a taxi) and teachers who satisfy these requirements and willing to teach will respond to this request. Unlike Didi in which the first-comer takes the order, here it’s up to the person who sends the request to decide the teacher. The students can also find people who have similar class interest to them and they could be classmates if they want. Or they can also invite their friends to join and send a class request as a group.
Further improvements on functions and UX design will be made in the following week when the user research goes further.
