The Riipen platform continually undergoes iterations of design and user experience with small improvements being made constantly and consistently. We would like the students groups to be apart of the next round of user experience iteration.

The Riipen team would like to focus on improvements in a few key areas to help improve the platform in the coming months, namely being:

• Student adoption
• Student on-boarding
• Student continued engagement

What these three items really cover are:

• Why does a student join Riipen?
• How do they join Riipen and what is that experience like?
• What makes a student want to stay on Riipen for further engagement?

Phase 1 – Project Plan: Your organization will work directly with the instructor to finalize the project scope. Following that, the first meeting between the student-researchers and your organization will be arranged for April.

Phase 2 – Project Execution: Students will work on deliverables outlined in the project plan. Teams will have a mid-term check in with organizational representative(s) to update on project tasks.

Phase 3 - Outcome - Report and Presentation: Students will submit a 10-page report on the insights and recommendations for your organization. The conclusions will be presented in the final class. Organization representative(s) are invited to participate in these presentations virtually and will be provided the slide deck.
