AltSchool Africa

AltSchool Africa’s growing learning ecosystem needed scalable systems that could support both students and administrators across records, transcripts, live learning, and academic tracking. I designed connected experiences that simplified academic workflows while improving visibility, structure, and operational efficiency.

Introduction

Introduction

One ecosystem. Multiple connected experiences.

Behind every student action was a larger academic workflow involving administrators, verification systems, and support operations.

As the platform scaled, the challenge became designing experiences that felt connected across both student and admin journeys not isolated features.

Challenges

Challenges

Academic workflows were fragmented and heavily manual.

Students struggled to access academic records, transcripts, and progress information efficiently.

Meanwhile, administrators relied on manual processes to manage verification and academic requests, creating delays across the ecosystem.

Approach

Approach

Understanding the Workflow

To better understand the ecosystem, I mapped how academic information moved across students, administrators, and internal systems.

This revealed gaps in continuity, scalability, and self-service experiences across the platform.

Goals
Designing a more connected academic experience.

The goal was to simplify how academic information was accessed, managed, and verified across the platform.

This meant reducing manual processes while creating clearer experiences for both students and administrators.

Design Solution
Structured live learning experiences.

Designed a structured learning environment that enabled real-time collaboration between students and instructors through live video sessions, discussions, and interactive classroom tools.

Operations & Administration
Designing beyond the student experience.

Behind every student-facing interaction was an operational workflow supporting records management, transcript verification, and academic administration. I designed internal tools that helped administrators manage requests, verify information, and maintain academic records at scale.

Simplifying transcript requests and verification.

Students often needed official academic documents for applications, employment, and further education. I designed a streamlined where student can request official or unofficial transcripts, select the relevant program and course, choose a delivery method, and track request progress from submission through completion. The experience reduced uncertainty by providing clear status updates, delivery details, and access to previously requested documents..

Designing operational tools at scale.

Beyond the student experience, I designed internal tools that helped administrators manage performance, verify academic records, and process student requests more efficiently.

Helping students stay informed about their progress.

Learning becomes more engaging when progress is visible. I designed tracking experiences that gave students better insight from the application stage into course completion, milestones, and overall performance throughout their learning journey.

Progress after Application view

One place for transcripts, certificates, and academic records.

I designed a centralized records experience that brought transcripts, certificates, and request tracking into a single system, giving students a clearer and more efficient way to manage their academic credentials.

Reflection

This project strengthened my ability to design beyond isolated interfaces, focusing instead on connected systems, operational workflows, and scalable experiences across students, instructors, and administrators. It reinforced the importance of balancing user needs with operational efficiency to create products that can grow sustainably over time.
