Pearson Education Course Management System
Project Overview: This application, Pegasus, is a full scale educational application that allow students and instructors to manage their courses and perform course activities online.
Goal: To design a comprehensive, highly usable course management system.
My Role: Interaction Designer and Usability Specialist
Company: Pearson Education
Year: 2005-2008
This feature-rich course management system allows students and instructors to manage their courses online and perform a variety of coursework activites:
- Schedule assigments in a course calendar
- Submit homework and take a test online
- Maintain coursework results in grade book
- View customized reports
My main design process includes sketching the ideas and translating them into annotated prototypes. This involves working with product managers and business units in order to define the site’s behavior. Users are also involved in the usability studies throughout the process. Below are the examples of the sketch and prototype.
