PopStack

Introduction

PopStack is an educational and lesson creator. A place for teachers to curate lessons for students that will be used in PopSuite.

Challenge

Content creators needed a better way to add, edit, and manage answer choices for language learning games. The current system was inflexible and error-prone, leading to frustration and lower productivity.

My Role

Crafting the end-to-end UI and UX.

Research & Analysis:
I began by analyzing the existing workflow and conducting user interviews with content creators. This revealed pain points such as:

  • Difficulty in adding and removing choices

  • Lack of preview functionality

  • Inefficient handling of duplicate or inappropriate content

Ideation & Wireframing:
Based on the insights gathered, I created low-fidelity wireframes focusing on:

  • A streamlined choice management interface

  • Inline editing capabilities

  • Real-time preview functionality

Prototyping & Iteration:

I developed interactive prototypes Figma and conducted usability testing with content creators. This iterative process helped refine the design, leading to features such as:

  • One-click addition of new choices

  • Drag-and-drop reordering

  • Integrated search for suggested terms

Typography and Visual Design

The final design incorporates a clean, modern aesthetic that prioritizes readability and ease of use:

  • Typography: I chose a sans-serif typeface for its clarity and modern feel, essential for a tool used for extended periods.

  • Color Scheme: A neutral background with accent colors for interactive elements helps users focus on the content while providing clear visual cues for actions.

  • Layout: The design uses a data table layout, grouping related information and actions together for intuitive navigation.

Final Design & Outcome

The final Choice Editor design includes:

  • A centralized interface for managing all gameplays

  • Real-time preview of the gameplay experience

  • Efficient workflows for adding, editing, and removing choices

  • Confirmation dialogs for critical actions to prevent accidental changes
