The Challenge

The publishing company's existing educational tools presented a fragmented user experience across teacher and student dashboards, content creation, and resource libraries. This disjointedness hindered seamless management of student progress, access to high-quality resources, and the efficient production of new materials. Additionally, the lack of a standardized component library led to inconsistencies in the look and feel of the company's educational offerings.

The Solution

Deviant partnered with the publishing company to design and develop a suite of integrated educational solutions addressing these challenges:

  • Teacher Dashboard: A central hub for classroom management, resource assignment, and student progress tracking.
  • Student Dashboard: Empowering learners with a personalized view of assignments and progress.
  • Digital Library: A comprehensive repository of educational resources created in-house and available for streamlined assignment.
  • Content Writing Platform: A collaborative environment for streamlined content authoring.
  • Components Library: Establishing design consistency and accelerating development across all applications.

The Results

The platform transformation yielded impressive results, exceeding the client's expectations:

  • Streamlined Workflows: Educators reported significant time savings in classroom management and resource assignment tasks due to the intuitive dashboards and streamlined processes.
  • Enhanced Student Engagement: Detailed progress tracking and personalized learning paths led to increased student motivation and measurable improvements in learning outcomes.
  • Accelerated Content Creation: The Content Writing Platform's collaborative features and streamlined publishing workflows boosted the production of high-quality educational resources.
  • Customer Feedback: The publishing company received overwhelmingly positive feedback from educators and students alike, praising the platform's ease of use, intuitive design, and the valuable insights it provided.
