Designing a scalable LMS
for classrooms
Superr | 2025
How might we simplify classroom management through one centralized platform?
Teachers often manage classrooms across multiple tools, where assignments, notes, files and student data stay scattered and difficult to track. A lot of teaching material also lives on personal laptops, making classroom workflows slower and harder to manage.
This project focused on designing a centralised web based LMS where teachers can upload files directly from their laptops, manage classroom activities, track assignments and access everything from one place.
The goal was to simplify everyday classroom workflows while making the experience feel clean, intuitive and easy to use for both teachers and students.
My Role
Worked closely with PMs, engineers, and designers to shape core LMS workflows across notes, assignments, whiteboards, files, and classroom management.
Focused on simplifying usability, improving consistency, and prototyping complex interactions directly in Cursor.
Approach
Understand workflows
Mapped classroom pain points through research and teacher inputs.
Simplify the system
Designed familiar, scalable patterns to reduce confusion.
Iterate continuously
Explored multiple flows, tested ideas, and refined based on feedback.
What I designed
My Notes
01 / 05A unified space where notebooks and folders come together in one place. Designed to help users quickly organize, search, and manage classroom content with minimal friction.
My Classes
02 / 05A central workspace for managing students, assignments, files, and classroom activities. Focused on giving teachers better visibility and structured classroom management.
Whiteboards
03 / 05A shared whiteboard system where teachers can access and revisit classroom boards easily. Explored preview interactions for PDFs, images, and videos to improve content browsing.
Assignments
04 / 05Designed assignment workflows that help teachers quickly track submissions, reviews, and pending tasks across classrooms. Focused on visibility, hierarchy, and reducing operational friction.
Files
05 / 05A centralized space for teaching materials and classroom resources. Designed to make content easier to upload, organize, preview, and access quickly.
Reflection
What I learned
Designing for education requires simplicity.
Every interaction needs to feel clear, approachable, and easy to navigate.
Systems thinking matters.
The experience taught me how connected classroom workflows are across students, teachers, and admins.
Prototyping helps uncover real problems.
Building interactions directly in code helped surface usability gaps and edge cases much earlier.
