UX Design Awards Jury 2025 Spring about the project:
“Learn About democratizes personalized learning by providing free, adaptive educational experiences accessible to anyone online. Leveraging Google GenAI and search, it creates customized learning journeys that spark curiosity and sustain motivation through active learning prompts and multimodal input. Developed with expert focus groups and usability testing, the platform reflects a mature, research-driven design. Its intuitive intrface supports unstructured self-learning, making it relevant to AI-driven education. However, the jury notes that consecutive suggestions may lead learners down a linear path.”
