Summary:
I redesigned Modul's web platform to improve clarity, usability, and the overall experience for college administrators and lecturers. The result is a streamlined interface that simplifies access to information and daily tasks.
The Challenge:
Modul needed a more intuitive system for managing college operations. The existing interface was cluttered, hard to navigate, and didn’t support efficient use by lecturers or staff.
Process & Research
I began with stakeholder interviews and user journey mapping to identify daily pain points. Wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes were created and tested, leading to a user-centered structure. This phase focused on simplifying workflows and improving content hierarchy.

Miri is a second-year Behavioral Sciences student.
Before the semester begins, she sits at home with a list of courses she needs to complete, juggling multiple open windows: the college website, an old grade sheet, and her personal Excel file. She is trying to figure out how to build a schedule that will allow her to both work and study. Every time she accesses the registration system, she worries slightly that she might "miss out" — that a course is already full, or that the system won’t properly show schedule conflicts. She just wants a simple, clear process that gives her confidence that she isn’t missing anything.
Maya sits at her computer at 23:57, one minute before the deadline to submit the final assignment for the course Introduction to Design. She double-checks everything, clicks “Upload File,” and watches the progress bar crawl at an unbearably slow pace. At 23:58 it stops at 90%. She sweats, checks her internet connection, and connects her phone hotspot.
At 23:59 — suddenly a small message appears: “File uploaded successfully.” She laughs out loud from the stress and sends a screenshot to her friend: “I did it. I beat the system.”
Nir has finished his exams for Semester A. He isn’t usually anxious, but since hearing that grades are being released, he checks the system every few hours. The system is slow, takes time to load, and each login reminds him of the uncertainty. When the grade for Statistics finally appears, the screen freezes at 69. He doesn’t know if it’s an error, final, or if the lecturer will update it. He clicks around, trying to figure it out — no explanation, no link to appeal, just a cold number. He closes the computer feeling powerless.
