UI/UX optimization for the learning platform Lern-Fair e.V.

How can the "Lern-Fair e.V." learning platform app be optimized to make the offering even more accessible?

Lern-Fair e.V. is a Germany-based non-profit organization dedicated to educational equality. Since its founding in 2020, they have been providing free, high-quality educational support to disadvantaged students on a fully digital platform. The method connects students with volunteer tutors. To date, over 15,000 learning pairs have been matched.

A key element of the offering is the Learning Fair app. It offers integrated video chat and chat features, a simplified request for new matches, and robust protections for children and youth.

The challenge was that it is not possible to track how users interact on the website and with the app, which features are used, and what can be improved and developed further.

A team of students from the "Basic Interface and Interaction Design" teaching module examined the app's menu navigation for current weaknesses with the support of their teaching staff and Lern-Fair's employees.

The analysis revealed some questions and challenges regarding the sitemap structure and optimization potential in the icon design and color scheme.
