Virtual live classroom training by SAP Education supports companies all over the world in their efforts to work toward a common goal of creating superior value for customers, employees, partners and shareholders. 

SAP Education Store offers flexible, scalable and affordable training options - from virtual live training to eLearning or iPad access.

In Q4 of 2014 our team was asked to improve the current SAP Education Store user experience. We mainly worked on the home page, the search, the results page, the certifications and the course details page. 

The old education store was cluttered, and had redundant and confusing information. We cleaned up the content and gave the visual look and feel a face lift. Image 1 shows the end result of the home page, and image 2 is a mockup of a course details page.

And I did...
...create high fidelity mockups and tested them. I also took care of project management since we were a very small team. 

Challenges
We worked under a lot of pressure since we were given only 2 months. Fast and precise execution was key. Not only time was a challenging factor, but also technical constraints. Since we didn't redesign the entire education store, there was only little code that we were allowed to change, mainly the front-end. Most back-end related changes were not possible, so we learned to work around.

Key takeaways
I learned a lot about online education and specifically about SAP's offers. There are all kinds of courses, online courses, in class courses, E-Academy and more. It was interesting to learn about their buying behavior. Who buys the courses? What type of courses get bought? Do they buy in bulk? etc.
