Our goal was to explore how Swivl's suite of products, including hardware like the Swivl robot and software like the Swivl app, could enhance the classroom learning experience. While Recap focused on classroom use, we aimed to extend the utility of Swivl's products beyond teacher professional development.
We were challenged to create something innovative and new for educators and students.
How can we creatively use video to help teachers gather evidence of student thinking, and build transformative discussions in the classroom?
After defining a goal and problems we started research from competitors analysis. We analyzed top community apps and learned that central feed is already an industry standard for community apps.
We analyzed over 20 existing solutions in the market of classroom technology, which were focused on different aspects and techniques of the learning process. We did usability reviews of these solutions, cross-feature comparison, and studied user feedback about them. This exercise helped us refine value proposition and define the initial feature-set for our future product.
Through collaborative brainstorming, we developed a concept centered on small-group instruction, interactive learning, and classroom observation. Initial storyboards visualized this interactive classroom experience.
Our project catalyzed innovative thinking within Swivl's ecosystem, driving us to reimagine education through technology.
Early Wireframes and User Interface Development
We refined user flows and interfaces through whiteboard sessions, crafting initial wireframes as blueprints for detailed mockups. Iterative design, informed by feedback, yielded a cohesive UI integrated seamlessly into the interactive learning environment.
We envisioned an AI character to guide users through the platform, reflecting Swivl's brand identity. Through collaborative brainstorming, our visual designer created diverse, captivating concepts, infusing vibrancy and personality into the interactive experience.I was fully responsible for the creation process of the characters and branding identity. Exploration and creation are my favorite parts.
Our dedication to innovation and brand identity permeated every aspect of the project, from conception to realization.
Finalizing UI
Incorporating the character into the app flow, we finalized the UI, which comprised a student app and a teacher web-based platform.
