Updating a language learning environment for kids as young as five.
As you can imagine teaching kids is very different to teaching adults, so the learning environment requires a different set of tools.
For kids and teens, interactive and instructor led activities form the basis for learning a language.
A instructor and student system already existed, so the student activities got a UI refresh, while the instructor environment was improved by our UX designer, and then styled with the Berlitz brand by me.
When you have kids aged five and upwards it's hard creating a style that appeals to all. For the first phase of this project a UI was created which maintained the Berlitz brand, while also bringing a little playfulness that would be generic enough for a large age range.
The instructor UI was designed to incorporate our instructor sidebar and toolbar from the portal project I was also working on, and the UX was improved so that instructors had more room on screen and a better navigation flow.
