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



  • improve professional communication skills

  • improve UI design skills

  • learn more about how the UX Design process works in industry
