Overview
The project was a student project conducted individually, supervised by a lecturer at Linnaeus University who provided guidance and feedback. Throughout the design process, I collaborated with other designers at three 3-hour workshops. Those workshops included individual and group work where each participant worked on their own project and provided insightful feedback on design ideas. The workshops aimed at developing comprehensive skills, such as identifying the target audience, sketching interfaces, creating interaction flows, analysing user experiences, and using prototypes for effective communication.
The project centered around creating a platform called EduSelect, which aimed to help students find the right education program by collecting and presenting information based on the experiences and feedback of current and former students, as well as employers. The platform, implemented as a browser extension, added to existing information about education programs across various websites, such as university pages, news articles, blogs, and social media.
