The Challenge
Most online learning platforms focus on content delivery but neglecting the needs of educators and learner experience quality. Teachers face fragmented tools, limited monetization, and unclear earnings, while students struggle with cluttered interfaces and inconsistent quality.
Teacher Cool aimed to build more than a marketplace - a trusted ecosystem where educators can efficiently manage and monetize their work, and learners enjoy clarity, engagement, and value.
Key problems to solve:
Craft a memorable brand identity that communicates reliability and innovation.
Build intuitive, teacher-first dashboards for course management and earnings.
Design a student-friendly marketplace for courses, books, and notes.
Implement secure wallet & payment systems for transparency and trust.
Facilitate real-time communication between teachers and students.
Core Focus Areas:
Branding and visual identity system that positions CereKart as trustworthy and modern.
Mobile-first design thinking with intuitive UX for all four roles.
Vendor growth tools: catalog, analytics, staff management, and promotions.
Driver efficiency: order management, navigation, wallet, and multiple deliveries.
Admin control: dashboards, subscription models, commission structures, tax, and reporting.
Unified design system across apps, dashboards, brochures, and Play Store presence.
