Context

Ulleo is an online learning provider that offers industry-led short courses.

Ulleo aimed to deliver a modern and engaging learning experience, differentiating itself from competitors that were providing textbook-like content. The brand envisioned combining mixed media to create a delightful digital learning experience.

I was motivated by the vision and was excited to lead the design, collaborating closely with the learning and content teams.

Solution

Created a dashboard to track learner progress, showcase livestream events and display personalised sustainability contributions.

Developed a modern learning experience to keep learners motivated while completing their lessons through visually engaging content.

Encouraged personalised communication through an interactive support feature that streamlines communication between course mentors and learners

Highlighted Ulleo’s tree-planting initiative with a confetti-like cannon of tree leaves animation to capture learner attention and gamify their experience.

Dashboard design


Dashboard

The dashboard is the first place a learner visits once they’ve enrolled in a course so it was important to clearly understand and identify what learners want to see.

Based on our findings, we designed the dashboard to prominently display the learner's current course and progress, along with a clear path to continue where they left off. We also added a section to display upcoming livestream events to encourage students to interact with Ulleo's course mentors and industry professionals.


Lesson content examples


Lesson content

The lesson content was developed through a collaborative brainstorming process that aimed to identify and incorporate all of the building blocks of a modern learning experience. Throughout the process, I created prototypes to help the team visualise our ideal lesson and guide the conversation. The result was visually stimulating, offered consumable content and kept learners engaged and motivated.



Navigation

I created a clear and intuitive navigation system based on user feedback and testing. The navigation is located on the side of the page and includes links to the dashboard, lesson content, and support.

I also incorporated a dark and light mode feature for learners to choose their preferred viewing mode based on personal preference or time of day.

Learners can easily toggle between the two modes within the navigation menu for greater control over their learning environment. The navigation system is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, helping learners stay focused on their learning.


Discussion examples


Support

We included a support feature to help learners overcome challenges by asking questions and receiving personalised help. This created more streamlined communication between Ulleo's course mentors, industry professionals and the learner.

Learners can use direct channels or the discussion section on each page to interact and share knowledge with their peers.



Tree planting

To gamify the learning experience and also do our part for the environment, we created a tree planting initiative — for every lesson a learner completes we will plant a tree in your name.

I worked with our in-house video production team to create a confetti-like cannon of tree leaves to add a moment of joy to the learning experience.

Outcome

The design of the learning experience has differentiated Ulleo from its competitors and positioned itself as a leading provider of short courses in many subject areas.

It's been incredibly rewarding to see how well-received the platform has been since its release in May 2021, with learners providing positive reviews at an average rating of 4.8 stars as of March 2023.

As someone who is passionate about education and has used online learning platforms extensively, contributing back to that space and making a positive impact on people's lives has been one of the highlights of my career thus far.
