Designing an EdTech Mobile App Home Screen That Helps Learners Decide Faster
This EdTech mobile app home screen began with a behavioral problem, not a visual one. Learners often open learning apps with motivation but leave without starting anything. The challenge was helping users move from intent to action without feeling overwhelmed.
The UX process focused on clarity and confidence. A personalized welcome establishes relevance. Search supports goal-driven users. Categories are icon-based to reduce reading effort and support scanning behavior. Instead of long descriptions, popular courses and instructors provide social proof—helping users trust their choice quickly.
One of the hardest design challenges was restraint. It’s tempting to show everything. Instead, I used progressive disclosure to reveal only what supports the next decision. Spacing, hierarchy, and visual rhythm quietly guide users forward.
This screen isn’t about showcasing content. It’s about reducing friction between curiosity and learning.
If you were measuring success for this screen, what outcome would matter most to you?
