CASE STUDY: EDUBEAT APP
OVERVIEW
What's the Problem?
According to research, students are having difficulty staying focused and retaining information when studying. Traditional study methods are proving to be boring, disengaging, and inefficient.
“After one hour, people retain less than half of the information presented.” - Instructure, 2017
MY TEAM
My Role
Team Members: Mike, Megha & Amie
Background: Our UX/UI Design Bootcamp was tasked with brainstorming an idea for an app, conducting user research, and creating high-fidelity wireframes. The idea for this app came from the sleepless nights of trying to study for tests, and not being able to retain any information. I was excited to bring my idea to life through this team.
So what's the solution?
EduBeat is a comprehensive study app that helps you learn, retain, and remember by turning your study material into a song. Enter whatever you’d like to learn, choose a genre of music that you enjoy or choose from pre-set jingles of popular topics, and start listening, singing, and learning!
USER RESEARCH
User Research Data
We conducted 5 user interviews in order to discover what issues and pain points people have while studying. We discovered that there was a high frustration with people not being able to stay focused, procrastinating, and not being able to recall information they studied.
