Project scope:3 learning products in one system11 cabinet screens in this case study2 layouts per screen: desktop and mobile
What was broken
Three different products lived inside one technical platform: a two-month core course, a one-week intensive and a free introductory track. The default GetCourse interface made them indistinguishable — from each other and from thousands of other schools — and a student couldn't always tell where they were and what to do next.
Constraints
- A student always knows where they are and what's next
- Three products stay distinct but share one brand
- The mobile version is built separately
- Everything within the platform's builder — nothing to break on update
The new learning interface
Three products looked identical.
One visual system with per-product variations: each track is recognisable at a glance but clearly belongs to the school.
Students got lost in a flat list of lessons.
Navigation is built around a timeline and lesson states — done, current, ahead, homework — so the next action is always visible.
The builder's default mobile view broke the layout.
The mobile version is assembled separately, down to every lesson screen.
Key decisions
Timeline instead of a list
Progress is the navigation.
Lesson states
Done, current and locked look different at a glance.
Separate mobile build
Instead of shrinking the desktop UI.
Design within the platform
No external hacks that break when GetCourse updates.
Before → after
- Stock platform interface
- Three indistinguishable products
- A flat lesson list without progress
- A branded student cabinet
- Recognisable tracks in one brand
- A timeline with progress and a clear next step
Project screens
By the numbers
Estimates are labeled and derived from the change in the user flow, not from client analytics.
After
GetCourse no longer looks like someone else's platform: a student opens a dashboard in the school's own style, sees on the timeline where they are and what's next, and gets a separate mobile version on the phone.
The client doesn't share conversion analytics, so the outcome is described in words, without numbers.
