Instructional Training

Teach for India
told us they
needed a
platform that would…

Engage their Users.
Develop a compelling landing page
for the target demographic

Simplify Course-discovery.
Make it easy to search for courses
and specific course content.

Redesign the experience of learning.
Create a User Interface that
aligns the client's needs
with the technology that EdX
offers

Keep existing users.
Migrate users from Firki's previous platform to the new platform.

Approach

We worked closely with our clients at Teach For India and
brainstormed solutions in iterative sprints to ensure
we meet their goals.

1. Iterative Process

Frequent and open communication in the form of standup meetings, weekly updates, a shared project plan and user story tracker ensured the product was evolving per the client’s expectations.

2. End-to-End Solution

We provided a turn-key solution across Visual Design, Software Development and Platform Hosting. This simplified the workflow and eliminated dependencies, driving accuracy and efficiency.

3. Multiple Design Options

Often, there is not a single right answer to a problem. To address this, we created alternative design mockups to convey various final product directions, from which our client could select their preferred option.

4. Best Practice for User Migration

Seamless data migration and user engagement metrics were key principles we followed during the user migration process. We created a solution to invite previous platform users to the new platform and re-engaged with inactive users by informing them about the transition.
