Overview

CourseLoop partnered with Exo Digital to enhance the Curriculum Publisher module, a critical tool that allows universities to publish their course catalogs on their websites. The project aimed to address client feedback, improve usability and accessibility, and refresh the visual design to ensure a cohesive, brand-aligned student experience. Our focus was on creating a more intuitive interface, improving accessibility, and ensuring the published content accurately reflected each university's unique brand identity.

We approached the Curriculum Publisher uplift by thoroughly analysing existing usability and accessibility challenges, conducting a heuristic evaluation, and aligning the design with the brand guidelines of each university. Our goal was to deliver a solution that not only met technical requirements but also enhanced the overall user experience.
