Loopme for iPad. The Loopme application for teachers
Loopme represents the next step in parent-teacher interaction by making a social network with class representatives (teachers, parents and children). The main goal of the application is to keep in touch parents about their children's daily.
As the Loopme project is a very modular platform for interaction, after creating the iPhone and Android version, we started designing and developing the iPad version, which is used by teachers, to communicate with the parents, about children’s daily activities from the teacher’s point view. The main functionalities of the app is to provide a medium for teachers where they could share details about what’s happening at the school, this way using the Loopme for iPad, teachers would easily share different content from a wide range of formats like videos, pictures, links.
Process
At first we started by trying to imagine the user experience and interaction of the application based on the iPhone app made already, but of course having in mind the different functionalities and the sharing features.
- Working on UX and IxD. Designing different user flows.
- Sketching the wireframes
- Designing the screens
- Working on UI elements for the app
- Creating icons
- With all the UI elements and icons making the final adjustments of the screens
- Working on usability and interaction
In conclusion designing the Loopme for iPad was very challenging because we needed to follow the concept from the iPhone and Android while we had to ensure that it does have new features and different functionalities, some of them being the opposite of the ones on the iPhone.
Designing for this kind of start-ups involves a lot of communication, so in order to have the best solution we talked a lot back and forth with all the parties involved, the client, the developers, the testers, all their feedback was very important in releasing the final version of the app.
Having another interesting project? We would be enjoying to design and develop it.
