El Paso Community College Academics Page Redesign
The challenge: to redesign the El Paso Community College (EPCC) Academics page and its embedded pages according to user testing and research. These are scenes from the prototype resulting from the user research and testing.
Tools: Balsamiq
Front page of the Academics page prototype
I made buttons for frequently used pages appear on the front page. Participants were particularly pleased to see that they could access the Email and Blackboard pages quickly from the front page.
The EPCC Instructor user story including user goals
The user goals of the EPCC Instructor inspired this design decision.
Programs of Study page from prototype
For the Programs of Study page, I incorporated drop down arrows so users could view all disciplines offered by each college.

The Recent High School Graduate persona's goals inspired the design decisions for the Programs of Study page to improve its organization.
Programs of Study prototype page when the Public Service discipline is selected
When the college is selected, the first few disciplines would appear on screen.
Programs of study prototype page when Criminal Justice is selected from the Public Service discipline
Once a discipline was selected, the user was taken to that discipline's details and programs.
The different programs of study options under the Criminal Justice option popup screen on the prototype
Once the discipline was selected, users could view the different degree plans for that discipline.
A quote from one of the participants praising my EPCC prototype's modified Programs of Study program navigation.
The prototype sign in page for Blackboard
The Blackboard button on the Academics homepage quickly leads the user to a Blackboard login page. This corresponded to the Recent High School Graduate user goal below.
