Problems

While students lacked skills, mentors faced their own challenges:

1/ Unstructured Contribution
Industry experts and trainers had knowledge to share, but no standardized system to create, deliver, and manage courses.

2/ Lack of Feedback Loops
Without systematic student feedback, trainers struggled to measure the effectiveness of their sessions.

3/ Low Engagement in Live & Self-Paced Formats
Trainers wasted time on repetitive Q&A or non-scalable interactions, reducing their focus on actual teaching quality.

Opportunity

How might we empower trainers with tools to create, deliver, and refine high-quality automotive learning experiences, while aligning with industry needs?

Constraints

  • Trainers had limited digital adoption; the platform had to be simple and intuitive.

  • Need to support both live teaching (multi-session, multi-trainer) and self-paced content.

  • Tight runway: had to prioritize feedback + engagement systems as differentiators.

  • Trainers spanned academia and industry, with very different levels of teaching experience.

Design Decision

1/ Course Creation Flows

1/ Course Creation Flows

1/ Course Creation Flows

Self-Paced Courses: Trainers could upload content, set milestones, and attach assessments.

Live Courses: Multi-session scheduling with support for multiple instructors, role-based ratings.

2/ Feedback Systems

2/ Feedback Systems

2/ Feedback Systems

Self-Paced Feedback Flow:

Parameters: coverage, clarity, practical exercises, AV quality, forum interaction.

Split into Course Creator Rating and Course Mentor Rating.


Q&A Feedback Flow:

Post-session ratings on coverage + clarity.

Mentor rating = forum interaction + Q&A averages.


Live Course Feedback Flow:

Parameters: coverage, visual aids, clarity, pace & interaction.

Multi-instructor setup supported.

👉 Outcome: Trainers received granular feedback, students faced less fatigue, and ratings reflected both content quality and teaching quality.

3/ Engagement Features

Discussion forums tied to each course.

  1. Gamification for trainers — recognition badges, top-rated mentor visibility.

  2. Community-first UI encouraging two-way communication.

Final Outcomes

Outcome

Before → After (Trainer Impact)

  • Before: Trainers lacked structure for feedback and wasted time in repetitive discussions.

  • After: Automated systems now capture student insights and ratings, helping trainers refine without burnout.

  • Before: Multiple trainers in one course caused rating confusion.

  • After: Multi-instructor feedback design ensures fair, individual evaluation.

  • Before: Trainers spent hours clarifying eligibility and basics.

  • After: Discussion forums and FAQs reduce redundant queries.

During (Process Impact)

  • Designed modular feedback system (applied across self-paced, live, and Q&A).

  • Reduced feedback fatigue for students with concise, effective questions.

  • Documented flows in Figma for smoother dev handoff.

  • Iterated based on usability testing, cutting redundant steps in course setup.

After (Long-Term Value)

  • For Trainers: A scalable, feedback-driven teaching experience that improves credibility.

  • For Students: Higher teaching quality and engaged mentors.

  • For CreamCollar: A differentiated platform where mentor ratings drive trust and growth.

Impact in one line

The CreamCollar Trainer Portal transformed mentorship from an informal, unstructured effort into a scalable, feedback-driven teaching ecosystem, empowering trainers while delivering higher-quality learning experiences to students.
