Inspiration

While considering an education minor, the topic of lesson planning came up often when it comes to being a teacher. And many teachers have mentioned how difficult it is to do, and we wanted to come up with a way to make it easier.

What it does

  • Provide teachers access to their lesson plan through multiple devices.
  • When creating a lesson plan through Connect, it will update other platforms on lesson plan changes. Platforms such as Canvas or Blackboard.
  • Provides an easy to use interface for creating lesson plans
  • Allows teachers to share their plans easily with students

How we built it

  • Planning in LucidChart
  • High resolution App in Figma

Challenges we ran into

Poor communication led to:

  • Building the high resolution design before finishing the wireframe
  • Trying to make a user scenario work with high resolution app
  • Having to rebuild the app to make a more fluid user scenario

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • While redesigning we fit our vision of the user journey better
  • The amount we accomplished in a short amount of time
  • Fun group vibe. Worked well together

What we learned

  • How to use Figma together as a group!
  • That we're able to collaborate on Figma
  • The design process has wireframming for a reason
  • Designing from a user centered design perspective makes the interface better to use

What's next for Connect

  • Building out the web browser version
  • Seeing teachers thoughts on the product
