Design Studio: Ideation & Iteration

Overview

The What

  • Research and propose solutions for the Learner-facing side of Tux: a module-based learning system for UX Designers
  • Consider the Learner as primary persona

  • Expand on our client’s existing design system to meet the needs of Tux Learners
  • Work within the existing Tux branding guide 

The Who

  • Our Learners are UX designers who are taking Tux coursework.
  • Current or recently graduated UX Bootcamp students
  • Seeking work & professional experience
  • Seeking or taking supplemental training
  • Seeking mentors or additional support
  • Secondary Consideration: Tux Instructors who are working with the Learners

The How

  • Conduct research through user surveys, interviews, and testing
  • Conduct market research including learning management systems, module-based online learning, and existing UX specific resources  
  • Conduct feature analysis to determine types of feedback and tools, including accessibility
  • Consider best practices for learners, including growth mindset and other learning methods

 The Why

  • Learners need a way to focus their learning so they can continue growing over time
  • Learners need a way to control their own learning in order to focus on their individual needs
  • Learners need to communicate specific information with their instructor directly without overwhelming each other.
