Blackboard’s

Structure

Blackboard’s confusing navigation and a poor structure often creates unnecessary user friction. Turning routine academic management into a time consuming chore.


The application has other problems such as...


Unused/ Underutilized Pages

Hidden functions

Folders within Folders

Tools scattered across multiple pages

Macbook Pro

Inconsistent course organization makes managing work difficult

Weak notification systems lead to missed work

Students struggle to track their academic progress

Blackboards structure makes information hard to find

Students primarily use Blackboard as a task completion tool

Minimal and distraction free layouts

Easier access to frequently used features

Reduced navigation effort

Improved Information hierarchy

Blackboard

Our redesigned website introduces a centralized dashboard that provides users with streamlined access to their educational resources and tools.


By simplifying navigation, the platform allows users to spend less time searching for information and more time focused on their coursework.
