UX Redesign
Simplify & Expand Shared Assessments' Events Landing Page
The goal of this redesign is to simplify and expand the Shared Assessments' Events landing page to display three types of events: Webinars, Member Forum Calls and Committee Meetings. Each event will include the event type, title, date, time, cost, and CPE credits.
As more events get added, the site is streamlined so a user can easily navigate the page and view details with the end goal of registering for events. This will need to be accomplished with minimum development cost, thus, utilizing design ideas from other parts of the website that rely on a similar database (blogs landing page, on-demand events, CTPRP success stories, etc).
Final Prototype
In the transition to college, first-years are moving into a very future-oriented environment where they are conditioned to worry about their future classes, major, career trajectory, etc. As a result, they often have trouble living in the present and being grateful for what they have both in their previous and in their current environment. In such an environment that is often far from their homes, they often feel stressed or homesick. In order to help navigate through the stressful, unfamiliar process of transitioning into the first year of college, our prototype will focus on providing first-year students with a space to slow down, live in the present moment and practice gratitude to help ease their transition.
