Teach For All
Client Overview
Teach For All works to tackle the complex challenges facing children in disadvantaged communities around the world. Their network spans 59 countries and six continents, each locally led and governed, challenging inequality inside and outside the classroom. Since 2008, their global network mobilizes and develops future leaders to teach in their nations’ under-resourced schools and communities to ensure that no matter where a child lives, they can realize their full potential.
The Challenge
While each partner’s local context is unique, similarities in the barriers facing children’s education from place to place mean they can share solutions. Teach for All needed to make it easy for their network to exchange ideas, learn from each other’s successes and challenges, and adapt promising innovations in their communities through a streamlined online learning portal. They wanted to provide a single destination where educators could find helpful resources, links, downloads and events, in a way that suits their partner’s needs.
The Process
Wireframes
Kanopi created mobile and desktop wireframes of a multi-column dashboard, organizing and streamlining information from high traffic sections, including events, resources, communities, and downloads.
Visual Design
Once we established the new and improved UX, we applied a complimentary UI with a refined color palette and visuals to modernize the Teach for All learning portal and provide intuitive and engaging partner interactions.
The Solution
Kanopi took a strategic approach to the user experience of Teach for All’s entire learning portal — reviewing and enhancing existing content, site navigation, and design. Stakeholder interviews, end-user surveys, a content audit, and heatmap analysis helped us understand how educators used the Teach for All learning portal.
This user research enabled us to define:
- a revised content hierarchy
- a user interaction plan
From consolidating resources to introducing dynamic filter functionality, Kanopi put in place an improved UX, tailored to the needs of Teach for All’s partners. We then designed a UI that reflects the Teach for All brand, using a modern color palette and visuals to amplify partner engagement. The final product was a robust dashboard with intuitive interactions explicitly designed for Teach for All learning portal users.
