Introduction

In the summer of 2023, I worked as a product designer intern at Elite Gaming Lives (EGL) which is an educational technology company. It believes in fostering educational opportunities through video games that also promote positive interactions and community support. My job was to turn the words-based learning content into webpages with engaging interactions and photos. The project I was handed was to introduce learners to what game artistry is and the career of game artists.

Problem

Numerous research studies have shown that American students’ reading proficiency has whoppingly dropped these few years. Reading has been more and more difficult for them due to a lack of concentration and motivation. However, most of the learning content nowadays is still word-based with extremely long passages.

Goal

Our team aims to design learning content that is more interesting and engaging by including visually appealing photos, UI designs, and cool animations. Incorporating the multimedia learning principle, we believe students are more likely to enjoy learning and absorb the knowledge.

Final Designs

Multimedia Included

I always make sure to include corresponding pictures or videos along with the texts. By applying the multimedia design principle, it can create an engaging and accessible learning experience.

Information Visualization

Rather than showing data with texts, creating some infographics can help learners improve cognition.

Engaging Transitions

In order to boost the learning interests and engage the users more, we try to create diverse transitions besides clicking the continue buttons.
