The project started off with redoing the search bar on the website back in 2017. It then quickly became clear that the rest of the website wasn't up to par.
The platform then wasn't designed by people who obsessed over visuals but more a technical proof of concept. Without trying to really start over we touched everything to do with the experience of the end user, the student. Starting off with the basics of the platform – which was just a screen to enter your name and change your password – we found it lacked all the relevant information a student would want. There was no way to track your progress or assignments, you just had to tell your teacher you had done them.

6 of One, Half a Dozen of the Other. The same game with an illustration or a video clip, and the two characters to sort the cards between.
The games were all reviewed on how they worked now. We created prototypes and had them tested by students from a very helpful school, and the team of Señor Wooly. This way we were sure the new visuals as well as the new way of doing them worked and was a positive experience for everyone involved.
