The goal of this project is to evaluate the user experience of the Riipen platform from the perspective of a new employer. A team of students will sign up on Riipen as an employer, create a company profile, and develop a project. They will then navigate the marketplace to find a suitable experience to match with, using input from a Riipen contact to guide their process.

(Do not submit any match requests before discussing with the project administrator at Riipen.)

Throughout this journey, students will document their experiences, identifying which parts of the process are intuitive and which are challenging.

The ultimate aim is to provide actionable feedback to Riipen, highlighting areas for improvement to enhance user satisfaction and reduce user drop-off rates. This project allows students to apply their knowledge of user experience design and evaluation in a real-world context.

The deliverables for this project include a comprehensive report detailing the user experience journey on the Riipen platform. This report should include specific feedback on the ease or difficulty of each step in the process, as well as recommendations for simplifying the user experience. Additionally, students should provide a presentation summarizing their findings and suggestions, supported by data and user insights gathered during the project.
