Adaptive short-course learning for speed, relevance, and confidence

Product design proposal to make required learning faster and more relevant while targeting a CSAT lift from 75% to 90%.

EdTech Product UX 2023

Background

In winter 2023, I joined Cue Studio as a freelance product designer to define a new direction for Realizeit. The target was clear: raise CSAT from 75% to 90% by reworking how short, required training supports working professionals.

The scope centered on short-form corporate learning: compliance and role-based courses that are time-sensitive, repeated often, and usually completed independently.

Through a focused heuristic evaluation, Selma-Rachel (Principal Designer) and I identified where the current experience felt generic, slow to complete, and hard to trust as proof of understanding.

We reframed the experience around a practical principle: required learning should respect learner time while giving outcomes owners stronger confidence in topic-level understanding.

Market opportunity

In this category, employees often feel required training is repetitive and generic. They want to move faster through topics they already know and focus on what is relevant to their role and context.

Learning and business teams face the opposite pressure: they need evidence that people actually understand key material, not just that a course was completed.

Product value proposition

Realizeit's promise in this proposal is adaptive personalization at scale: let learners accelerate where knowledge is demonstrated, deliver context-relevant content, and use targeted checks with remediation where gaps appear.

The direction balances both sides of the problem: faster, more relevant completion for learners and higher confidence in understanding for outcomes owners.
