Lab Rats - eLearning Hub

Creating an eLearning Hub from scratch to enhance engagement and accessibility for young learners

Problem

The goal was to design an eLearning hub from the ground up, making learning engaging and accessible for children aged 7–11. The platform needed to provide a structured, user-friendly experience that encouraged exploration while ensuring young learners could easily navigate content.

A key challenge was balancing educational clarity with a playful, age-appropriate design.

Process

As the lead UX designer, I developed the hub’s structure and interface with a focus on simplicity, readability, and engagement. The design introduced clear categorisation, a visual course layout, and a structured dashboard that helped children track their learning progress.

Recognising that younger users process information differently, we carefully considered font choices, iconography, and UX writing to ensure the experience felt intuitive and accessible.

Iterations

User testing with children aged 7–11 revealed unexpected challenges. Some fonts, while stylistically fitting, impacted readability, requiring adjustments to contrast and sizing. UX writing needed simplification to align with reading levels, and some icons proved unclear, leading to misinterpretation.

These insights led to refinements in typography, language, and iconography to ensure the hub was truly designed for its audience.

Final Design

The final eLearning hub provided a visually engaging and structured learning experience tailored to young users. Improvements to font legibility, clearer icons, and refined instructional text ensured a smoother, frustration-free journey.

The platform successfully combined a playful yet functional interface, supporting both exploration and structured learning.

Impact

By grounding the design in real user feedback, the eLearning hub became a truly accessible and engaging tool for young learners.

The refined readability, improved iconography, and thoughtful UX writing created an experience that was both educational and enjoyable, making online learning more intuitive and effective.
