Subscribe to a Practical Skills Course
Design a course membership that helps learners evaluate fit, follow a paced curriculum, and understand ongoing billing.
The brief
Understand the problem
Background
Subscription courses can offer an expanding library and community access, but learners still need a coherent path and a clear reason to remain subscribed.
User context
Jia wants to learn bread baking over eight weeks. She can practice on weekends and needs to know which tools and ingredients each stage requires before paying.
Product problem
A large lesson catalog can obscure prerequisites, pacing, and total commitment. Billing details may be disconnected from the learner's progress and access.
Objective
Create course evaluation, subscription, weekly learning, and cancellation for a practical skill program.
What to design
Define the experience
Required experience
- Course fit and prerequisite overview
- Transparent subscription checkout
- Paced learning dashboard
- Cancellation and retained-progress explanation
Screens and states
- Course overview
- Subscription review
- Learning dashboard
- Lesson detail
- Membership settings
Core user flow
Follow the critical path
- 01
Jia checks the course outcomes, schedule, and equipment list
- 02
She reviews monthly price, trial terms, and cancellation timing
- 03
She subscribes and sees the first week's preparation
- 04
She completes a lesson and records a practice note
- 05
She reviews what happens to progress if she cancels
