Dash was the first of its kind. A full digital teacher edition text book. Compete with lesson plans, videos, assignments and even a seating chart. The seating chart was so successful that it was also packaged as a stand alone app.
Working in a team with 2 other UX designers, we each focused on specific parts of the interface. These are some early wireframes. This concept lead to the navigation and transitions that are used as the user moves through the unit, chapters and lessons.
I also contributed visual design on several icons that are represented in various parts of a lesson plan. Other contributing UX designers to Dash where Clint Forrester and Brad Waitr. Dash logo and leather skin design by Clint Forrester.
Project Overview
Dash was intended to minimize and modernize those giant teacher edition text books that plagued so many of our educators. Originally designed as a native iOS application for the iPad, Dash was the first of it's kind. It has since matured into a web app and is used in conjunction with several of Pearson's digital courses. Replacing thousands of bulky text books and freeing educator desk space everywhere.

I mostly contributed very early on in Dash conceptual phase centered around content integration and navigation through the viewing experience. I produced multiple wireframes that experimented with navigation and layout. Further along in the project I contributed visual design for icons represented in various parts of a lesson plan.
