Objective
This proposal aims to improve the Open edX dashboard's user experience by optimizing the course card design. Scientific principles of visual perception and information processing will guide these changes, leading to:
Increased discoverability: Learners can easily find relevant courses.
Improved comprehension: Information is clear and readily understood.
Enhanced engagement: Visually appealing design motivates learners.
Proposed Changes
Information Prioritization & F-Pattern Scanning (Eye-Tracking Studies):
...
Consistency & Cognitive Load Reduction:
Consistent Design: Maintaining consistency across all course cards minimizes cognitive load. Learners don't need to re-learn information layout for each card.
Visual Mockup:
Existing Course Card
Redesigned Course Card

Benefits
Faster Course Discovery: F-pattern scanning and clear information layout allow learners to quickly find the courses they need.
Reduced Cognitive Load: Separation, icons, and visual hierarchy make information processing easier, reducing mental strain.
Increased Engagement: The visually appealing design, with icons and clear CTAs, fosters learner motivation and interaction.
Conclusion
By applying UX principles and scientific research, we can elevate the Open edX dashboard's user experience. Optimized course cards will lead to increased discoverability, improved comprehension, and ultimately, higher learner engagement.
