Our client asked us to design an engaging Functional Skill System.
The brief.
For some, going on a shopping trip, using basic literacy skills, understanding how to act appropriately, or transitioning from school to adult life are very challenging tasks. The Functional Skills System provides easy to understand information that allows learners to become more capable of functioning independently in their homes, schools, communities and workplaces. The dozens of independent programs in this system increase a learner’s ability to make appropriate choices.Functional Skills System uses real videos makes for quicker generalization of the concepts being taught, and with a video library of over 4,500 videos to choose from, there’s something for everyone. Whether the user needs help with basic signs & words, hygiene, grooming, dress, or social skills, our system uses real-life video (not cartoons, drawings, animations or symbols) to communicate the concept clearly and effectively.
Our approach.
Our main goal is to empower parents and children with the tools they need to create a cohesive and interactive educational experience.
In Site Discovery Workshop
Our team assembled to meet with the client and gather the project's requirements, needs, and goals. Through collaborative brainstorming, all members contributed with ideas and insights.
Wireframe and Visual Design
We explored several concepts and chose the "Pasteboard" concept as the core of our product design.
We worked on sketches and wireframes to illustrate ideas and interactions, collaborating closely with the main stakeholders.
During the Visual Design phase, we carefully selected colors, styles, and visuals to enhance the user experience
and interface.
Prototype
We compiled all the completed work into multiple prototypes. Each flow was meticulously designed and prototyped, providing clear expectations for both the client
and developers.
The platform empowered our child to achieve goals that we didn’t think were going to be possible.
The outcome.
A platform that provides an enriched life skill learning experience for children, with two different modes. In learn mode allows parents to seamlessly create their skill material by adding to the integrated pasteboard. It enables parents to present skills interactively in an engaging way. Outside of learn mode allows them to prepare lessons, modifying skills, and resources. We also imagined a companion app designed to support the main platform. This supplementary app would ensure that parents had a means to globally manage skills.
Picture-To-Skill Mode
Allowed parents to assemble skills in a lesson format that the iPad could then display to the child.
Custom Clip Mode
Allowed parents to build on top of the already robust library of skills.
Responsive Web App
Designed to support the main platform giving parents the option to manage the overall library in an effective manner.
