Curating digestible summaries of the course material
A redesign and rethinking of RIT’s Mycourses course content strategy. How can we condense the content from course materials in a way that encourages student’s understanding and promotes participation?
Goals
01
Learn
QUICKLY READ CONDENSED Course content ON THE GO
The majority of crucial information is typically concealed in publications like books, lecture slides, films, etc. These communication concepts are typically one-dimensional. The interactive cards present essential information to the students and allow them to save, ask questions, and participate in a discussion.

Modified Upcoming events
Modifying the events section to be more functional
The old events section was just a hyperlink, students had to first click it and then navigate to a new page where they had to navigate to an upload section.
The current method cuts the chase and allows students to upload on the go with less friction.
