DESIGN PROCESS
LEAN/AGILE – AND THE EXTRA STEP IN RESEARCH
With a clearly defined need from the start, we aimed to create a digital learning experience for handling complex pedagogical and psychological situations in kindergartens. This solution distinguishes itself by meeting modern user patterns, respecting users’ time and attention, and being tailored for a specific user group.
In collaboration with pedagogues, UX designers, developers, stakeholders, and user representatives, we began by mapping out personas, pain points, needs, and challenges through extensive workshops. We extended the dataset with focus group interviews and a thorough competition analysis, followed by research on modern user patterns, post-COVID changes, and emerging learning trends and methodologies.
A MODULAR, FLEXIBLE AND INTUITIVE BLENDED LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Using this data, we developed a flexible, modular, blended learning concept that respects time constraints and offers active learning mechanisms, retention methods, and engagement motivations through subtle gamification. After extensive prototyping and user testing with qualitative interviews and a high-level vertical slice prototype, we refined and adapted the design, initiating an iterative development process using agile methods.
Backend systems and the admin framework were developed in parallel. Acceptance and penetration testing were followed by a soft launch and iteration cycles based on real-life feedback.
