Grademy

Mobile App

An application and web search engine for academic studies, courses and certifications according to user interests, location and budget. Users can rate, review and compare the courses and send a request to enroll their chosen course.

Background

Grademy is my final project in an UX/UI Design course I took in 2019 at Mentor Design College.

It's a solution for people who don't know what or where they should learn and worst yet are uninformed regarding their options. While working on this project I learned a lot about user experience and especially about designing for various resolutions and aspect-ratios. Have fun exploring my work.

The Product

The demo video shows few screens of the mobile application.
after the user logs in to the app, he's asked to choose his interest subjects. The application is searching for study programs according to user interests location in order to generate a personalized feed-page of all his study options.

The user can filter the subjects, location, type of certification and budget and get targeted results.

In the course page you can watch a promotional video of the course, get details: how long the course, how much it costs, description, other users reviews and finally enroll to the course.

Problem

• People have a hard time choosing what to study.

• Young people do not know which profession is suitable for their interests.

• It is very difficult to compare study programs and similar courses.

• People find it difficult to get objective advice in the profession in which they are interested.

Solution

• Search engine for degrees/courses.

• Courses Comparison.

• Ratings and reviews of actual students.

• Tailoring the study program to the user.

• Social network for counseling and guidance.
