Leading the design of a nonprofit edtech that makes learning the Qur’an accessible to all.

Project Summary
The problem
Studying the Qur’an is the primary way that motivated Muslims increase their spirituality. However, millions of people across the globe lack access to qualified teachers, at an affordable price, that can teach them.
The Proposed Solution
A platform that encourages certified Qur’an teachers to sign up and teach students for free with the added incentive of allowing them to earn money via private courses.

Step 1
Proof of Concept
This project started as the dream of a sister of mine, our SME: to build an academy where any motivated student could learn Qur’an from high quality teachers. Her goal was to make the Qur’an accessible and available for all.
She thus started her own academy: Ouyoun Academy. Through networking and hard work she managed to grow her school from 5 students to 350 students in just a few months.
Thus the goal came to scale the project. I was recruited to lead the design of the next level for Ouyoun Academy, a platform where anyone could sign up and learn the Qur’an for free. We decided to change Ouyoun’s name to FreeQuranSchool.com: a direct and immediate value proposition for all to see.
Step 2
Modelling the New Web Experience
Ouyoun Academy had a structured curriculum that taught classes in a scheduled manner. However, we decided that this model was not scalable and made the decision to move to a different model. I was tasked with figuring out what the next rendition for Ouyoun could be.
I was inspired by freelance platforms such as Fiverr and ADPList: what if we made a platform where teachers can sign up and teaches classes at their will, and students can browse teachers and find courses that interest them? This removed the need for a curriculum on our end and would entice teachers to come to a website where they can teach to make extra income.
Step 3
Designing in Figma
I’m currently working on designing the website’s webapp experience. I built a lean design system for us in to keep our components organized and scalable. I meet with our developer twice a week to find out if there are any adjustments that I can make to allow him to complete his work as smoothly as possible.
