Problem Space
Cisco U is a personalized online learning platform intended to prepare
people to have the knowledge they need to acquire new certifications.
Our focus on this project was to take the desktop learning platform and
adapt it for a mobile platform while also adding new features that
specifically cater to the mobile learning experience.
User Group
We focused on one of Cisco’s user personas:
a young adult who is new to their professional career and
is looking to gain new skills or improve their current skills.
We chose this persona because it was most similar to our interviewees,
and it integrates well into the idea of Cisco U mobile. Since these people
are employed and commuting to work, they have a bit of downtime
during their commute that could easily be used for mobile learning.
My Personal Goals
