Dashboard design for an e-learning platform
Adversent’s dashboard was trying to serve two conflicting needs: open-ended discovery for users exploring content, and structured progression for users working through courses. The result was an interface that did neither well—users felt lost, and completion rates were suffering.
I set the strategic direction and led the UX design.
I reframed the problem. Rather than treating discovery and progression as competing modes, I designed a system that adapted to user behaviour. Returning users saw their active courses and next steps immediately; new users were guided through curated starting points based on their goals.
The interface used a modular card system that could surface different content types—courses, achievements, recommendations—based on context. Progress indicators were designed to motivate without creating pressure.
I led the team through research, prototyping, and testing—ensuring we validated assumptions with real users before committing to development. The design system we created became the foundation for Adversent’s wider platform, not just the dashboard.
A dashboard that increased course completion rates and reduced support queries about navigation. The modular system also made it significantly faster to add new features and content types.
