The story

How it started

A powerful platform

PractWorks had a wonderful tech stack. A generative AI driven teaching platform that focuses on actual paper and pen practice.

They wanted to boost daily usage, engage students and improve the overall UX.

What it was

A great platform with basic UI, flat visuals, and not the best look and feel.

Every workflow worked, but nothing about the experience invited students to come back every day.

Goals

We set out with all our heart

Daily Logins

Improve the daily login average and make showing up a habit.

01

Motivated Learning

Motivate students to participate, practice and learn regularly.

02

A Fresh Face

Redesign the overall look and feel, and by implication the UX.

03

Research

User Interviews

We conducted dozens of user interviews, spoke to students, teachers and potential users.

We gained valuable insights into how they were using the platform, what they liked, and what we could improve to make their experience a delightful one.


Competitor Analysis

We ran a detailed competitor analysis to understand the market and what we could do to make sure PractWorks could reach its full potential.

We looked into every workflow, every screen on both the web application and the mobile app to ensure we tracked every task flow.

The redesign

Re-inventing BLU

BLU, the PractWorks AI mascot, a friendly blue robot

BLU was powerful. A generative AI guide to help with the learning. We brought him to the forefront and gave him a makeover.

BLU went from being a guide on the sidelines to being the mascot, a friend and a teacher who motivates and encourages you all the way.

  • Streaks to motivate daily learning
  • A leaderboard that encourages healthy competition with friends
  • Reward points that make learning engaging and fun
  • Reminders that nudge you to complete missions, earn points and keep the learning unbroken
