SIMnet Assignment Manager

Empowering instructors to manage their assignments independently

Overview

SIMnet is a digital learning platform for teaching Microsoft products to college students. Instructors spend most of their time managing their assignments but rarely do it alone. Beyond basic setup, they heavily rely on Customer Success specialists for help, unaware that the features they need already exist, just scattered across disconnected workspaces.

In fall 2025, I led design on a cross-functional team to consolidate the assignment management experience so that instructors could rely less on others to run their classroom. The redesign improved assignment management NPS by 6 points and empowered 20% more instructors to complete complex tasks independently.

This project is currently in beta testing with a full public release in June 2026. To learn more, please contact me through email.
