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
  • Mobile is designed, not just shrunk
  • Everything within the platform's builder — nothing to break on update

The new learning interface

Problem

Three products looked identical.

Decision

One visual system with per-product variations: each track is recognisable at a glance but clearly belongs to the school.

Problem

Students got lost in a flat list of lessons.

Decision

Navigation is built around a timeline and lesson states — done, current, ahead, homework — so the next action is always visible.

Problem

The builder's default mobile view broke the layout.

Decision

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

Before
  • Stock platform interface
  • Three indistinguishable products
  • A flat lesson list without progress
After
  • A branded student cabinet
  • Recognisable tracks in one brand
  • A timeline with progress and a clear next step

After

GetCourse stopped feeling like a third-party platform and became part of the school's own product.

The client doesn't share conversion analytics, so the outcome is described qualitatively — no invented numbers.

Working on something similar?

Tell me about the project and I'll suggest a practical way to build it, a platform and a timeline.
