Project Story

The strike of a global pandemic gave rise to the need for a new online learning platform. LearnUs was introduced as the new Learning Management System for Yonsei University as a substitute for YSCEC. However, there have been complaints that the LearnUs does not provide a satisfactory LMS experience. Our project tackled the problem of redesigning a mobile LearnUs interface to aid Yonsei University students in a cross-platform learning environment. The research questions that were raised were such:

Can a redesigned LearnUs improve user experience?
How can we modify LearnUs to encourage students to efficiently fulfill their goals?

User Testing Methods and Results

User testing was performed with specific critical use cases, system usability scale (SUS) survey, and interviews. To compare the current official LearnUs application and our prototype, we asked the users to do the testing on both the original LearnUs application and the newly created prototype.
Users showed an improvement in the task completion rate compared to the LearnUs app. The average SUS score for our prototype was significantly higher than that of LearnUs, indicating an improvement in design and a need for only minor modifications.
