DE-Cluttering Ed Tech: A Human Centered Redesign of Student Task Architecture

Contemporary learning management systems often give precedence to one way institutional announcements over day-to-day functional features like daily checklists and coursework. This poorly structured system layout creates high user flow obstacles, forcing students through deep navigation paths just to identify urgent tasks. Navigating digital noise drains short-term mental bandwidth, increasing procrastination pressure and mental burnout. This usability report evaluates current interface friction across click depth and dashboard hierarchy, presenting a streamlined, human-centered UI redesign architecture (CampusSync) to minimize cognitive load and enhance student task execution.

Abstract

Contemporary learning management systems often give precedence to one way institutional announcements over day-to-day functional features like daily checklists and coursework. This poorly structured system layout creates high user flow obstacles, forcing students through deep navigation paths just to identify urgent tasks. Navigating digital noise drains short-term mental bandwidth, increasing procrastination pressure and mental burnout. This usability report evaluates current interface friction across click depth and dashboard hierarchy, presenting a streamlined, human-centered UI redesign architecture (CampusSync) to minimize cognitive load and enhance student task execution.
