Ensineme · Plataforma EAD

Overview

Product Designer at Ensineme, the e-learning platform of Estácio and the YDUQS group. The work covered the design of educational modules for radically different disciplines, in collaboration with instructional designers, content creators, curators and technology teams. Each delivered module was a pedagogical decision translated into interface.

The Challenge

Ensineme was the e-learning platform of Estácio, Brazil's largest private higher education network, part of the YDUQS group. At any given time, dozens of different modules were active simultaneously for courses ranging from Law to Engineering, from Veterinary Medicine to Communication.

The challenge wasn't designing a single module. It was ensuring radically different content worked with the same clarity within the same system: a philosophical text, a calculation sequence, a lecture video and a historical timeline all needed to share recognizable interaction patterns without resembling each other.

Process and Collaboration

Each module started with the designer and instructional designer pair. The pedagogical architecture arrived defined; my role was to translate it into interface. Meetings with other professionals in the process, including curators and content creators, brought product and business perspective that fed design decisions beyond the visual level.

• Scale was the substitute argument for metrics: dozens of modules in production, covering disciplines with no thematic resemblance, were the evidence that the system worked
• Each discipline needed its own visual identity, yet recognizable within the same system: Shakespeare has a different palette and rhythm than Algorithms in Journalism, but the interaction patterns needed to be the same
• Components like tabs, timelines, fill-in exercises and quizzes were designed to keep students active and reduce cognitive load for dense content

Content diversity

Design system applied to the lessons

Lesson mockups from different disciplines with Estácio's design system already applied, shown on desktop, tablet and mobile. More than isolated screens, they show how the same typography, color and component patterns stay consistent across radically different content and on any device.
