Web Learning Platform
Project
Develop an updated information architecture and visual design for a next-generation online learning environment used by millions of client users. The system must incorporate adult learning principles and engage users with rich media layouts and interactivity.
Challenges
The architecture had to provide a platform for wide-ranging domains of knowledge and levels of course-development intensity — from simple, low-cost boilerplate to complex, highly interactive material. Learners using the system could range from novice to expert, and their equipment was heterogeneous as new standards emerged and mobile devices were on the horizon. The content presentation would ideally leverage learners’ previous experience with the earlier platform and use existing interactive media assets while making room for all-new content types.
Implementation
The platform adopted then-emerging web standards to generate flexible, compatible content that was future-proofed. A standard page template presents content in a learning-optimized order, from general to specific, followed by real-world examples and applications. Enriched, interactive content was accommodated as standard content-replaceable widgets or as fully customized pieces.
