MASTERCLASS LESSON PLAN
In discussions with potentially joining the MasterClass team, I was asked how I would personally approach integrating their existing PDF workbook into the online lesson plan.
What would a new workbook-style experience look like? How might content be intermixed with lesson prompts?
The solution I brought to MasterClass was to give equal weight to both video content and the rest of the workbook, facilitating the need for a fullscreen interactive stage.
This allows users to see all available elements, hiding nothing. In addition to lesson videos and core workbook items, they can also access a full lesson menu and navigation, peer discussions, viewing modes and progress indicators.
One new interaction I’ve introduced here is called Clip Notes, which allows users to highlight transcript text to instantly save as a written memo in the Notes section. Conversely, they’ll be able to play the video clip from the text snippet to replay the crucial bits they’ve saved.
The design direction sought to be modern and minimal, using pops of contrast and color to bring attention to key actions for the MasterClass students.
