Get Drivingis a mobile app with a purpose to ease the process of new drivers getting their driving license.
Role:User Interface design
In collaboration with:Irene, Jerick and Rabab for Interaction Design Methods project at Simon Fraser University.
Background:With increasing demand in everyone from personal to public transportation, there is a need to ease the process for new drivers getting their driving license or converting their foreign license to local provincial one in an accelerated manner. Get Driving is a mobile app that was made to fullfil this issue by enhancing the communication between driving instructors and students.
In this project, I focused on designing the student interface of the app which connects them with driving instructors and my responsiblity was to enhance the experience of communication between them. Moreover, I helped with maintaining visual consistency across both the interfaces.
To achieve this, I introduced a "pre-Lesson Practice" feature that allows students to preview upcoming lessons based on instructors input, providing a clear roadmap of what to expect. In the picture, we can see a mobile app page which clearly shows a timeline of lessons with number of modules completed and what to expect in the upcoming lessons. This timeline of lessons and status of completed tasks were inculcated to keep student updated with their progress and give a sense of achievement. These factors resulted in an enhanced interaction between student and driving instructor.
Another feature, I introduced was "Driving Service Locator" which helps students find driving instruction services based on language preference and budget constraints. In the image, we can see multiple filters which covers most of the need for looking for a service, based on our group research. Hence, this feature lead to an effective solution based on personalised needs and gave an an enhanced access to the more suuitable facility.
Overall, by focusing on improving the communication flow between student and instructor and also getting them connected through personalised means brought about an ideal solution through an asynchronous mobile app means which enhanced the user experience of a driving lesson by giving a sense of readiness.
