A unified classroom dashboard for teachers

CONTEXT

Minga is a tardy and behaviour management platform for K-12 schools - minga.io

ROLE

Led discovery, research and design
2024 - 2025 / 3 major updates

PROBLEM

Teachers need to navigate to 4 different screens in order to perform different actions and keep track of attendance during class, leading to frustration and low adoption.

SOLUTION

A unified classroom dashboard for teachers that allow school wide visibility and 3 clicks managements.

IMPACT

1.7x

monthly hall pass and behaviour assignments

PROBLEM

Admins cannot rely on Minga without teacher adoption.
  • We’ve been focusing on improving the admin experience  which has left many teachers feeling dissatisfied with the platform.
  • School teachers adoption and NPS remain low compare to school admins due to poor UX.
  • Without teacher adoption, admins cannot rely on Minga reporting to influence decisions and reinforce positive student behavior and attendance.

CHALLENGE

The classroom context
  • Teachers want to spent as little time as possible on Minga to assign hall passes and behaviors and focus on teaching.
  • Teachers need to navigate to 4 different screens in order to perform different actions and keep track of attendance during class.

GOAL

To build a more focus experience where teachers feel like we respect their time.

How can we streamline the multiple workflows so that teachers can focus on teaching.

My Class: a classroom dashboard  that offers school wide visibility and 3 clicks classroom managements

DESIGN 1

Student card

Easily visualize students’ hall pass requests and status with colour coding and sound notifications

DESIGN 2

TESTING AND ITERATIONS

Teachers’ ongoing feedback

Over the course of a year and three major releases, we progressively tested and implemented updates informed by teachers’ feedback.

CHALLENGE 1

Designing a one-stop experience

Understanding how this feature integrates into our broader ecosystem in order to future-proof it, ensuring that teachers can rely on this single feature for all their needs.

CHALLENGE 2

Designing for a wide range of use cases
  • Teachers use the platform for different purposes depending on their class, school policies, and personal habits.
  • Making all essential actions and information quickly accessible while maintaining clarity is challenging—some users may find certain elements unnecessary, while others want to see everything.
  • Therefore, balancing diverse user preferences through flexibility and choice is essential.
