New courses for self-study at Skillbox English

I designed self-study English courses for a Russian-speaking audience, focusing on strong, independent learning experiences. I developed reusable task mechanics and templates, reviewed content, researched best practices, and worked with methodologists to create consistent, adaptable mechanics. I integrated these into the UI and collaborated with developers to add them to Storybook. In a short time, I built a tool for an English for IT course, designed for easy reuse in future courses.

I designed English language learning courses for a Russian-speaking audience, focusing on self-study. A strong learning experience was essential, as users needed to grasp the material without teacher supervision. To achieve this, I designed various self-study task mechanics and created templates for those tasks.

Self-study course mechanics

I reviewed the content prepared by methodologists for the course, conducted research to identify best practices in educational products, and collaborated with the team to create a list of essential mechanics. These mechanics were designed with future courses in mind, ensuring reusability and consistency.

While designing the UI, I adapted existing design system components to fit the new mechanics, ensuring a consistent look. I worked closely with the development team to integrate all these mechanics into the overall Storybook as reusable components.

In a short period, I developed a functional tool for building an English for IT course, designed to allow easy reuse of mechanics for future courses.
