Learning Horizons
Designing an AI-supported curriculum and learning platform
Project overview
Designing an AI-supported curriculum and learning platform
A curriculum-centred platform concept created in response to the practical challenge of coordinating coverage, pacing and shared teaching resources.
Product walkthrough
Learning Horizons in Action
Explore the Learning Horizons prototype through a guided demonstration of its curriculum planning, content development and learning management features.
What the demonstration shows
The walkthrough uses fictional demonstration data to present the teacher dashboard, curriculum and content-development workflows, AI-assisted suggestions with teacher approval, and learner-facing activities.
The challenge
Starting with a real educational need.
While teaching Grade 2, my co-teacher and I needed a consistent way to monitor curriculum coverage and pacing. Without prescribed textbooks across every learning area, we also needed to create, organise, adapt and share resources efficiently.
Design objectives
- Make the curriculum map the foundation of planning.
- Connect learning objectives, lessons, resources and activities.
- Support teachers without replacing professional pedagogical judgement.
- Create a foundation that could later support students and parents.
Design approach
Process and decisions
- 01Identify the educational need and classroom context
- 02Define requirements, users and evidence boundaries
- 03Map curriculum relationships and user workflows
- 04Direct AI-assisted prototype development
- 05Test functionality and review usability
- 06Refine workflows, interfaces and features
My role and contributions
Educational direction, product decisions and iterative development.
Learning Design
Established relationships between curriculum objectives, lessons, resources and assessment.
Product Design
Defined user workflows and reviewed interface decisions for teacher, student and parent concepts.
AI-Assisted Development
Directed development with AI-assisted coding tools and reviewed generated functionality.
Testing and Iteration
Tested the prototype, identified problems and refined workflows, interfaces and features.
Development status
A functional prototype prepared for further testing.
Current prototype
Curriculum, planning, resource, assessment and role-based interface concepts are functional and represented in the gallery.
In development
Features and workflows continue to be refined through functional testing and interface review.
Evaluation next steps
Structured usability sessions and implementation planning will guide any future school or classroom evaluation.
The Solution
- The prototype centres curriculum requirements rather than treating them as a secondary reference.
- Teacher workflows support curriculum mapping, objective tracking and resource organisation.
- AI-assisted concepts focus on objectives, materials, adaptation and activity planning.
- The broader product vision includes distinct teacher, student and parent access, but planned features are not presented as implemented.

Learning Design Rationale
- AI should reduce avoidable planning friction while leaving instructional decisions with the teacher.
- Clear relationships between curriculum requirements and resources make the educational purpose of each item visible.
- Role-specific experiences reduce complexity for different audiences.
Implementation
- A conventional top navigation was reconsidered after testing suggested it might not be intuitive enough for younger learners.
- The interface was reworked around a clearer visual sidebar—an example of adapting a product decision to the needs of its users.
Evaluation and Evidence
- Functional and usability testing informed repeated interface refinements.
- Formal classroom implementation and outcomes evaluation have not yet taken place.
Limitations
- The prototype has not been formally implemented in a school.
- Teacher-efficiency and learner-outcome measures have not yet been collected.
- Student information and live administrative access are intentionally excluded from this portfolio.
Reflection
- This project strengthened my ability to translate a classroom problem into product requirements and workflows.
- It also reinforced that interface conventions should be tested against the needs and expectations of the intended users.
Future improvements
- Conduct structured usability sessions with representative users.
- Define an implementation and evaluation plan before school use.
- Develop privacy-safe demonstrations for the student and parent concepts.
