Overview

Skillhopper is an app-based learning marketplace designed to connect passionate instructors with learners, blending the flexibility and diversity of platforms like Fiverr with the structured learning approach of Udemy. Focusing on ease of use, quality, and community, SkillHopper enables individuals to turn their skills into profit, creating a collaborative space where everyone—from professionals to hobbyists— can learn or teach. The platform aims to foster a thriving community of lifelong learners and expert instructors.

Challenges

The difficulties involved designing an intuitive platform that caters equally to learners and instructors; such as:

• Simplifying the process for instructors to set up courses

• Making it painless for learners to quickly find relevant content

• Developing a seamless two-sided marketplace that delivers on business objectives

Approach

Our design approach focused on three key areas: simplicity, flexibility, and community. For simplicity, we developed a streamlined onboarding process for both learners and instructors, providing easy access to setting up and finding courses. To support flexibility, the apps interface was designed to allow customizable course structures, enabling instructors to deliver content in varied formats (video, live sessions and documents). Finally, we integrated community-building features, like course reviews, instructor profiles, and learner feedback loops, to foster engagement and trust.

Solution

Skillhopper offers an intuitive app interface where instructors can effortlessly create and customize courses, while learners can explore a variety of subjects through efficient search and filtering options. Quality control mechanisms, such as user reviews and ratings, help maintain content standards, while community features encourage engagement and repeat usage. The platform allows users to access courses on-demand or in real-time, meeting diverse learning preferences and schedules. This flexible, user-centered approach has empowered both instructors and learners, facilitating a rewarding, enriching marketplace experience.
