Financial Literacy: Mind Over Money Learning Modules
Project Details
Client: Stanford University - Mind Over Money team (2022)
Mind Over Money is Stanford’s financial wellness program for students seeking support navigating finances and building confidence in their financial literacy.
Audience: Stanford students
The Ask: The original "Mind Over Money" online courses were rich in valuable content aimed at helping students navigate their financial journey. However, these courses were text-heavy, lacked accessibility, and were devoid of visuals or interactive elements, making them less effective and engaging for learners.
Learning Solution: I completely redesigned and redeveloped the four "Mind Over Money" courses, transforming them into user-friendly, engaging, and accessible learning experiences. The new courses feature interactive elements and visual enhancements that not only make the content more appealing but also support diverse learning needs, ensuring that students can actively engage with and retain the information.
More About The Solution
After conducting thorough research, I carefully selected the captivating e-learning tool, Articulate Rise, to revamp the four courses.
Through this redesign, I focused on creating a user-centered approach, incorporating interactive elements, improving the flow and layout, and aligning the courses with UX (User Experience) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) principles, resulting in a more engaging and inclusive learning experience for the users.
In addition to the redesign efforts, I ensured that the courses were no longer hosted on the outdated platform, and migrated them to Articulate Rise which offers enhanced user experience, and improved accessibility for all learners.
The Result
Students reported a significant improvement in their learning experience. The incorporation of interactive elements, user-centered design, and the use of an appropriate eLearning authoring tool helped to transform the once monotonous material into an exciting and dynamic learning process. Students found it easier to comprehend and retain information, making their educational journey more enjoyable and rewarding.
