- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
Learners will work closely with the product manager who is in charge of the development of the website, and who will be available for questions. They will be shown LocalStudent's website and how users experience and use our website, and be instructed to find the flaws that can be fixed, and review which solutions can be reasonably implemented through the website and which problems would be better suited to be solved through a new website.They will have 1-2 meetings a week with the Product Manager to determine their progress, give them constructive criticism and feedback on what they are doing well. Regular communication will take place through WhatsApp.
- What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
-
In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:
- Website design and development.
- Usability and user experience design.
- Web analytics.
- Web development languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.
