Landing page
It was important for the landing page to appeal to students, teachers and parents - showcasing the variety of resources available, without overwhelming - whilst also staying true to the Art UK brand guidelines. The landing page contains a variety of content types and entry points such as news articles, artists, topics, lesson plans and a glossary of art terms. These entry points were designed and organised in a palatable way, showcased within banners, tiles and trending carousels.

From the outset, user testing was at the heart of this project. In the early stages of design, an interactive prototype of the Learning Portal was shown to groups of teachers across the UK to canvas opinions, assess ease of use and explore the relevancy of content types.

Resources
Our design team compiled a set of reports for the client, summarising our findings and outlining design elements that we would be adjusting based on the feedback we received from teachers. Resources in the Learning Portal can take many different forms. The key resource types were lesson plans, 3D objects, activities, videos, articles and audio pages. We had to design and develop a page template that was flexible and modular, able to morph and adapt to become any number of things.
