With an e-learning and training tool that brings an organization’s workforce up to speed, we built an Online Training Module to help employees track performances and record the qualifications of their training programs.
Our Roles
Research, Information Architecture, Wireframing, User Interface Design & Prototyping
Timeline
4 Weeks
The Challenges of Online Training Module
Measuring employee performances and making the learning process fun and not overwhelming
Getting to Know The Industry
We reviewed similar solutions to get an idea of the standard use in the industry. Then we conducted a series of workshops with stakeholders to learn business goals.
Our Client’s Goals
Easy to create courses and simple to manage
Customizable online training modules
Engaging virtual programs that motivate the employees for online training
Intuitive design and artificial intelligence features that help increase productivity
User Interview
With client’s set goal and business context, we moved on to understanding the key end-users of the online training module and mapping their needs. We created a persona & evaluated user pain points and motivation.
User Needs:
HR
Assessment creation and management
Trainers
Create training courses for employees easily
Trainee
Accessible course outline on the content pages and quiz pages that helps to determine progress and upcoming units
Ideation
We used a tool called Crazy 8 to generate quantitative ideas and followed with Round-Robin to refine some of them into more qualitative ones for the training module
Information Architecture
After grouping user needs into valuable features we created information architecture. While creating this information architecture, we followed the Expectation Confirmation Theory, which would explain the typical way the users are expected to experience the learning module.
Digital Wireframe
Consistency is key. We ensure that our UI elements are consistent. The buttons, tabs, and labels on each screen were kept uniform in our wireframe.
UI Kit
Too much content on the screen will discourage learners and can make them feel overwhelmed, so we decided to use clean and minimal typography and colors.
Prototype
Content creation task, content pages and quiz page are arguably the most important sections of our training module so we created the prototype with those particular sections to validate our design with users.
Final Thoughts
The UX of the customizable online training module helped address the business goals for need based trainings for different skill levels. It advanced the learning process for the HR department, trainees and trainers alike through interactive virtual programs for an engaging user experience. Further work to follow with periodic feedback.
