When begging the development of this project, I decided with my self to look at one key user experience feature that could be improved upon, use that as my backup and try to improve that within my own recommendations.
For example, my main focus of the audit was yes to have an overall look at the positives and negatives, but I wanted to focus how efficient and fast the user can be when using the student hub.
As well as this, any other issues both mechanical and design based I also took note off. Using a evaluation template, provided by my tutor, I was able to sort each issue and rate them accordingly. This gave me the option to then choose which issues were more important to improve/ fix than others, giving me content to look at and recommended solutions to within my audit.
To help me with this, I tagged and keyed as much information as I could, breaking each issue up by page number, numbered locations, which value was broken, the rating of the issue, as well as colour coding the issue rating, all to make my work easier for the client to find the issues effectively.
When picking out the issues I had only two pages to work from in terms of evaluation. The Home and Students page. Straight away there are a lot of different issues, which not surprising enough, tend to reappear on the students page, considering it’s just a copy of the home page.
Email notification redesign
Side Panel, user customisation
Home Dashboard redesign overhaul
Student Dashboard redesign overhaul
Featured above, are all the redesign aspect I created using Figma, that I believe would help achieve the goals and purpose of the UX audit. When creating the visual recommendations of the hub, I treated this project as if I’m actually being paid to redesign the student hub, (to a certain degree of course).
