Challenge
This study focuses on teachers of language schools.
The starting hypothesis pointed to the stress suffered by teachers at language schools due to extracurricular tasks that they have to perform. However, thanks to the research carried out, it was possible to detect a series of specific situations and their consequent problems:
- Variable hours: The main difference found between a conventional teacher and an academic one was that the latter are subjected to such a great fluctuation of schedules that they have to keep a rigorous control of their schedule.
- Attendance record: The second pain point that was detected in the interviews and surveys was that the teachers had to work twice as much because they took the register on paper and then they had to input it into excel.
- Class diary: The advantage of interviewing different teacher profiles was the discovery of new concepts such as "Class diary". In the interview they explained to us that it is a document that school teachers have where everything is written down. it was done that day in class.
In addition to these needs detected in the 7 interviews conducted with experts, two key generalizations for the study were obtained in the survey results:
84.8% of the 67 teachers surveyed feel stressed by doing work outside of teaching
90.2% of the 67 teachers surveyed point out that there are communication problems with other teachers
After this structuring, a series of iterations derived from the multiple tests were carried out, which were key when structuring the app as well as determining the nomenclature of the sections.
Mid-fidelity Wireframes
After making the prototype on paper and testing it, I made the prototyping with Sketch (mid fidelity) rectifying the errors that I had previously detected.
Screen evolution
After carrying out new tests on the mid, a modification of the names of each category and the corresponding redesign of some screens was carried out. Some samples of this evolution will be shown below.
High-fidelity Wireframes
Here you can see what the final result of the project was, organized in four flows: Agenda, Assistance, Materials and the form which will appear in the configuration section.
