Situation
What
Road To Success (RTS) is an online platform whose goal is to foster literacy and a love of learning in K-8th students.
Who
- Primarily: K-8th students
- Secondarily: Teachers, Parents
- Also: Principals, librarians, and other administrators
Why
- To improve a paper-based reading tracker to be an online app with game-like qualities
Challenge
We converted a paper recording method to an online, gamified reading time tracker that guides kids through levels.
As such, parents can track their children's reading, teachers can see a roll-up of their classes or dig into individual students, administrators and principals can similarly see school-wide data or drill down to classes and students, and superintendents can see it all plus a district-wide view.
Method
- Interviews with client stakeholders
- Interviews with
- Students
- Parents
- Educators
- Local business owners
- Perform Competitive analysis
- Iterative design sprints with developers and visual designers to build
- World building
- Reward system
- In-game and out-of-game economy
- Community donation platform
- Visuals and prototypes
- User testing the iterative designs
