UniqLearn: A Classroom Workspace
Project description
Our team partnered with UniqLearn to design an intuitive web-based classroom management platform connecting teachers, students, and administrators in one high-engagement workspace.
From conception to final design system: 8-10 weeks working collaboratively with educators and school administrators.
Schools struggled with fragmented learning management software, lost homework submissions, and slow grading feedback loops. UniqLearn consolidates curriculum scheduling, live student submissions, gradebook analytics, and real-time parent updates into one cohesive interface.
Problem statement
This category details the step-by-step approach taken during the project, including research, planning, design, development, testing, and optimization phases.
Conducted ethnographic interviews with 120+ K-12 educators and students to pinpoint friction in grading and assignment handoffs. Defined core personas and high-priority feature sets.
Engineered responsive dashboard wireframes, accessible typography hierarchies, and tactile interaction flows for fast grading. Iterated through teacher feedback sessions.
Built production-ready design tokens and React UI component libraries. Partnered with engineering to optimize real-time roster sync and calendar integrations.
Ran closed beta trials across 18 classrooms, measuring assignment turnaround time, cognitive load, and accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA).
Challenge
The resulting UniqLearn workspace provides a fluid, unified classroom experience for teachers, students, and parents.
Automated student gradebooks, curriculum scheduling, and centralized assignment tracking with zero visual clutter.
Syncs teacher lesson plans directly with student deadlines and automated push reminders across devices.
Interactive rubric-based grading and audio/text student feedback channels to foster active classroom engagement.
Key Findings
80% of users found the payment options confusing compared to competitors
Users needed an average of 4.2 minutes to complete a single payment
Finance teams wanted bulk payment capabilities but couldn't find the feature
The reporting dashboard lacked real-time data, forcing manual exports
