UI/UX Design Workshop

Graue Wände sind langweilig!
(Gray walls are boring!)

This workshop at HAWK University explored and practiced the importance of human-centered design in web-based applications, with a particular focus on learning management systems.

In preparation for the workshop, I researched several learning management systems currently used at universities. I focused primarily on their design and user experience. The research showed that the design of many of these systems is not consistently user-centered. While they are generally accepted and widely used by university staff and students, they are often criticized within the design community, particularly by design students.

The purpose of the workshop was to develop a new concept for a learning management system (LMS) together with students. These participants were not only design students, but also the actual users of such systems, which made their perspectives especially valuable.

Through this collaborative process, the workshop fostered insight, empathy, and a deeper understanding of user needs. Working in teams, we designed a new LMS concept based on the expectations, experiences, and requirements of its users.

The resulting concept is presented below.
