Redesigned Blackboard’s gradebook platform to improve navigation, information clarity, and student understanding across a large university system.

The Problem

Blackboard’s gradebook experience suffered from poor navigation and fragmented information architecture.

Critical academic information — such as course requirements, grading details, and graduation-relevant data — was buried across disconnected views, making it difficult for students to understand their academic status.

Objective

  • Improve navigation and information hierarchy
  • Surface critical academic and graduation-related data
  • Standardize course information across departments and schools
  • Redesign the experience to scale across an entire university system

‍

Outcome / Impact

  • Improved visibility of academic progress and graduation-relevant requirements
  • Reduced cognitive load through clearer hierarchy and navigation
  • Established a refined, cohesive branded interface that unified course and gradebook experiences across the platform
  • Introduced a centralized calendar system to surface course dates, durations, deadlines, and academic timelines in a single, accessible view

BlackBoard

Blackboard, the CUNY website, where the grades were. A platform where students need to gather and upload information to graduate and have a successful academic career. I wanted to choose a project that I use, not only my classmates and students of CUNY. We all know the site is trash, and it's always been a passion of mine to make a difference and impact others with my designs.
