Ople







Team Work

2C/2B Product, Educational Technology      
















Ople is an App empowering PK-12 teachers by facilitating knowledge sharing and professional growth. To help Ople better serve its users, we provided User Experience Research (UXR) and User Experience Design (UXD) services. We identified key user needs and pain points through in-depth user research, which informed our redesign strategy. We delivered a more intuitive and engaging platform that fosters collaboration, supports content creation, and strengthens community engagement. This redesign helps Ople inspire educators and elevate the teaching experience.
