THE CONTEXT :

Aha Science (an initiative of Learning.com) in partnership with Educomp Pvt. Ltd. was developing solutions for their online K-12 Learning products. They wanted content that was lively, engaging and informative at the same time. This included teaching really young children complex subjects such as Refraction, Electromagnetic Radiation, Moh's MInerals Table, Cloud Identification, Complex Chemical Reactions etc.

 

MY ROLE:

As the primary Instructional Designer on the project, I was in charge of User Research (which involved heavy collaboration with the Subject Matter Expert in question), Scripting, Storyboarding, Visualizing and Collaborating with a team of talented Graphic Designers and Programmers to create the final output. Please note: While I'm an animator, I was not directly involved in the scope of an animator. I oversaw a talented animation team to ensure their work was aligned to the storyboard at all times.

 

THE PROCESS :

As developers for a product like this, we had to constantly be aware of what we were competing with, so that we could set our product apart and generate something new and exciting. We had to be wary of the time limit and the amount of complex content we could squish into that time slot without compromising on the rate of content absorption from the user perspective. 

​

THE OUTPUT:

The content was very well recieved by the intended audience. The rate of absorption of all the scientific content was evaluated using Educational Games that were conceptualized based on the topic that was taught. The evaluation report indicated a high performance rate with regard to the user performance when interacting with the game.
