Solo Design Sprint
Project Type
This project is a product of a design sprint that spanned over a few weeks between November and December of 2023. The participants worked with the help of Sprintfolio for a Company called Wisdolia - an online study app. The company wanted to expand the study features by potentially adding a social or collaborative feature. With user research and usability testing I was able to come up with a design solution that seamlessly integrated with Wisdolia’s established system.

The Problem
Wisdolia users need a social space within the app to collectively enhance their understanding of study materials.
My goal was to create a collaborative environment to increase confidence in their knowledge leading up to tests and quizzes.
User Research
User research was composed of five current and former medical students on their study habits and how group study if applicable fits into their study schedule
Participants studied in short burst.
Participants experienced pace issues when studying in groups.
Participants expressed interest in an online group study app.
Main Themes and Insights
After sorting through the research there were three themes I could craft a solution around.
Making sure group participants can respond and interact in real time is essential.
Navigating Wisdolia's individual decks and group decks to help users identify where they are on the app.
Creating digital group study environments provides an inclusive approach for users that can negate limitations in the physical world.

Notifications
Users can see the groups performance against their own to gage where they are with retaining information.
Group Performance
Having a layout of updates in the group deck helps users respond to their group members.
Group Updates
Adding notifications in red to the users dashboard helps them identify group updates.

Wayfinding
Wisdolia’s color scheme for individual study mode is green. By adding another color scheme to the group deck it keeps the user aware of where they are within the app.
Group Deck
When a user generates questions, they can add it to a solo deck or group deck to keep everything organized.

Collaboration
Adding a comment section at the end of every question in group decks allow for users to collaborate with group members to help with their own understanding of study subjects.

Moving Forward
The next steps of this project would be to focus on Notifications. Notifications can be developed more to help the efficiency of having group study by helping with the time response of comments for more real time engagement.
