Objective:

To enhance the AI-powered learning platform (BluMind.AI) by expanding its capabilities to better support neurodivergent students through inclusive design, thorough QA testing, and user experience (UX) improvements.

Goals:

• Integrate inclusive design principles that address the learning needs of neurodivergent users (e.g., students with ADHD, dyslexia, or autism).
• Conduct structured user testing with a neurodiverse focus group.
• Improve UX/UI based on accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and student feedback.
• Develop new platform features to support self-regulation, task segmentation, and custom learning pathways.
• Strengthen platform reliability through QA cycles (automated + manual).
• Generate user documentation and onboarding pathways that are simple, adaptive, and supportive of all learning styles.

Key Outcomes:

• Identification and resolution of UX pain points specific to neurodivergent learners.
• Improved engagement and learning outcomes for a broader spectrum of users.
• Tested and validated interface components optimized for accessibility.
• Additional feature sets aligned with inclusive education goals.

Project Activities:

• Conduct stakeholder research, including educators and neurodivergent students.
• Design low- and high-fidelity mockups for new user flows.
• Perform UX testing sessions (live or recorded), with structured feedback collection.
• Collaborate with QA testers to build automated testing scripts and execute test cases for existing and new features.
• Develop new features such as:
• Visual timers and progress trackers
• Task breakdown and chunking tools
• Distraction-minimized interface options
• Text-to-speech and multimodal learning tools
• Improve onboarding flow with neurodivergent-friendly options (e.g., skip logic, progress customization).
• Provide weekly check-ins with platform developers and advisors.
