Insights

From our Research:

  • People need to reaffirm their choices with their friends and family

  • People often need guidance in choosing an education

  • The incentive you get as an Alumni for doing a Q&A should be easy to consume and use

 

From our testing:

  • A Q&A could be a pretty low effort solution to add value to people's experience of Blocket utbildning

  • People want to know more about their education, but they don't want to do it in a real time chat.
     

Conclusion

Two options to create more value for the user could be:

  • To add a Q&A with Alumni as an easy way to get a different point of view on an education without much effort.

 

  • Or to add a Chat with Alumni. Blocket giving the opportunity to students connect with Alumni.
