Savvas

Embedded advisor to the UX design and consulting teams, establishing the practice and assessment experience for a student-facing product.

We made mastery visible to the student, not just the teacher, because a score you can see is something you can act on, and a score only your teacher sees is just a grade.

Savvas needed stronger data visualization so teachers could more easily score, report, and understand student mastery, and wanted gamification that would not overpower learning for younger students.

• Led a collaborative opportunity workshop with the UX team to develop 'How might we' statements that became the basis for prototypes.
• Mapped user requests from Savvas' customer support team and service desk, then defined and prioritized key opportunities in breakout groups.
• Built prototypes with gamification elements, tested them with teachers and students across the country, and delivered insights reporting with strategic recommendations.

UX flows and wireframes, an overall UI scoring experience prototype, and data visualization that helped teachers score students more effectively, plus recommendations grounded in testing with teachers and students nationwide.
