OVERVIEW

In the dynamic realm of online education, the Live Class feature on the Classplus platform has witnessed a remarkable surge in adoption and utility among tutors. Over the past years, diligent efforts have been invested in refining its functionality and technical infrastructure. However, the user interface (UI) and user experience of the Live Class feature has remained untouched for an extended period. In response to accumulating user feedback from both tutors and students, this UX case study delves into the strategic process of reimagining and revitalizing the Live Class UI.

Problem Statement

To stop our client from moving out of our platform due to sub standard of out Live class platform by enhancing its user experience through technology and design

DEFINE

As it was a project with tight timeline, we followed a Deep Dive Approach. First , we analysed our current platform and our competitors to understand what they were offering that we don't.We then brainstormed the ideas and build and initial Design and show cased the prototype to stakeholder and users.

Step 1 : Analysis

First , we analysed our current platform and our competitors to understand what they were offering that we are not.
Few UX issues that we find and were concerning

Tutor Side
  • Takes 30+ seconds to go live

  • Showing toasts for every single action. Becomes overwhelming.

  • Small window for camera preview before live class starts.

  • No indication of where to accept/reject handraise on tutor side except a toast

  • UI needs to be improved

  • Can’t share screen with video turned off

  • 10+ sec audio/video lag between tutor and student

  • As a first time user, post ending the live session, there is no information when the live recording will be available.

Student Side
  • When tutor ends live class, student’s live class ends immediately without any message.

  • Needs a waiting room, if tutor hasn’t started the live class
