Problem Statement

The company only had a desktop-supported Learning Management System (LMS) web application, and they wanted to design a mobile-first application for their users that could address the following issues and later on will be implemented for a desktop web application:

2 for 1

Juggle between administrative application and LMS application.

Increased cognitive load with multiple logins

Old School

The UI of the application was not attractive.

Inconsistent usage of icons and poor visual hierarchy.

Back In The Grid

The application only had pages to view courseware and assignments

The application lacked micro interaction.
