Education Design

Learning UX Principles

1. Progress visibility. Students need to see how far they've come and what's ahead.
2. Bite-sized content. Break lessons into 5-15 minute chunks.
3. Active over passive. Interactive exercises beat video lectures.
4. Spaced repetition. Surface review content at optimal intervals.
5. Celebrate completion. Badges, certificates, streak counts motivate continuation.

Patterns

• Course overview: modules in a linear path with completion checkmarks.
• Lesson page: content + practice + navigation (prev/next).
• Dashboard: current courses, progress bars, upcoming deadlines, streaks.
• Assessment: clear instructions, timer if timed, immediate feedback.
