IDÉLLO

Overview

IDÉLLO had nearly 15,000 pieces of educational content for French Canadian teachers and students. The problem wasn't the content, it was finding it. Teachers with limited planning time were giving up before they found what they needed, and a platform built to support French education in Canada was falling short of its potential.

TFO brought me in as the sole designer to fix that. What followed was an 8-month end-to-end redesign — research, workshops, IA, UI, testing, and handoff — that touched every part of the experience.

Users & Challenges

A platform serving three very different people

IDÉLLO is TFO's flagship educational platform offering videos, series, books, and themed learning paths aligned with the Canadian curriculum. Its primary users are French-language teachers across Canada.

The library was impressive. But user feedback told a consistent story — finding the right resource took too long, and for teachers who plan lessons in whatever spare time they can find, that friction was enough to make them walk away.

  1. Teachers

timelapse

The platform’s difficult navigation made it hard for teachers, who already have limited time, to find resources quickly.

payments

Many teachers didn’t realize they had free access and paid unnecessarily for accounts.

  1. Students

The platform was challenging for students to navigate, especially when signing up and joining classes.

Turning insights into a plan

With research in hand, the next step was to make sense of it all before touching any UI. We mapped user stories for each persona to identify must-have features for the MVP launch, then defined the full site structure to understand how users would navigate and where pages could share similar layouts.
