K-12 Platform, Zero to a Million

Move from classroom-only learning to blended learning.

That meant adding richer content types and self-study — without splitting the experience in two. I built two concepts to test how far to go.

Keep school and self-study as two parallel tracks.

• My Class — the teacher-led curriculum, by subject
• My Learning — third-party material the student picks up alone
• Tasks and challenges — with a mastery score that rewards practice beyond what's set

The model separates what content is from who chose it.

• Types — curriculum, practice, test, other material
• Routes in — system recommends, teacher assigns, teacher recommends, student chooses

Keeping these two axes independent is what later made mixing sources feel deliberate rather than random.

Merge school and self-study behind one shared goal.

• One measure per subject — curriculum and third-party content roll into a single mastery percentage
• Gamification — levels, experience points, stars, and a character that grows with the student

This won. It answers the question a student actually asks — how am I doing in Maths? — instead of handing them two separate answers.

Gamification only works if it rewards the right thing.

Profession level is built from two separate inputs, so effort and achievement stay distinct:

• Stars — earned through recognition
• Experience — earned through mastery

The model also makes room for personal goals and 21st-century skills — including activity away from the screen.

I led UX and UI for the platform's main features. Each audience needs something different:

• Teachers — run the class, spot problems fast
• Students — focus and momentum inside one lesson
• Guardians — clarity in a short, occasional glance

The home page answers three questions at a glance: How are my lessons doing? Am I on track? Who needs help?

• Banded performance, not scores — including an explicit no sufficient data state, so thin evidence is never read as a result
• Pacing guide by week, flagging when the class falls behind
• Struggling students named directly, with their score or how far behind they are

The result reads as a to-do list, not a report.

Compares groups within a grade instead of reporting one average — so a teacher can see which section is lagging, and on which lesson.

Filters for class, subject, and period stay pinned to the left, so the question stays visible while the answer changes.

Blended teaching means controlling what's open, to whom, and when.

Access state is the most prominent thing on every card — accessible for 25 of 30. A teacher can audit a whole trimester by scanning, without opening anything.

Sets the student against their class, not in isolation.

• Radar chart — subject performance vs class average
• Star history — what was submitted, what was awarded, in the teacher's own words
• All three attempts per lesson, next to the final assessment

Showing every attempt — not just the best — reveals whether a student is improving or guessing.

Every lesson follows the same spine: the big idea, three depths of knowledge, a last look, an exit ticket. Structure stays predictable even as content changes.

A bilingual glossary opens in place, in English and Arabic. In a bilingual classroom that matters — a student who doesn't know a word can resolve it without leaving the task.

Guardians check in briefly and irregularly. Mobile leads with comparison and recency, not depth.

• Average score — their child next to the class average, per subject
• Progress feed — newest first, grouped by day, attempt number shown
• Full attempt history on tap

A parent seeing 50%, then 65%, then 76% reads effort and improvement — not one disappointing number.

The extra space buys breadth, not more metrics.

All subjects compare against the grade average at once, and the progress feed sits beside a detail panel — so opening an item never costs a parent their place in the list.
