Context: Due to the global pandemic, many Chinese students unable to enroll in overseas programs have developed a sense of learned helplessness, compounded by struggles with independent study.

Problem: A lack of supportive learning environments and recurring academic failures, deepening the sense of helplessness

Need: A community-oriented approach and a system that acknowledges small academic victories, to boost confidence and motivation

Actions: Interviews, Persona, Literature Review, Emotional Journey Map, Low-fidelity Prototyping, and High-fidelity Prototyping

Solution Proposal: Dashboard interfaces are designed for an online study room using Figma. These interfaces aim to foster a supportive atmosphere for study, while also offering features to highlight challenges and celebrate incremental achievements.
