Cape Ann was brought into Active Science to help rescue the product from major project delays and architecture flaws incurred by the previous developer. One of the challenges of this project was to redesign the teacher’s part of the application.

Based on the knowledge the client has gathered on issues that teachers experience while using the app, we have designed a new user interface that is intuitive and easily usable. There are few tasks for the teacher to be able to successfully accomplish during the session and those are: Start activity, Add a new site, Get data, Send data. The main goal here was to create as simple a possible graphic interface for the teachers in order to reduce visual friction and maximize application usability.
