Scope

For Ureka, a new learning platform focused on playful, holistic learning, we handled the branding, app design, and large parts of the development. Our focus was on clear, intuitive usability – to ensure that even complex topics remain easily accessible. The result: a modern LMS that reimagines learning – light, immersive, and joyful.

Challenge & Potential

Our Services


  • SaaS concept for a flexible LMS
  • UX strategy for maximum usability
  • UI design for web & mobile
  • Branding & visual identity
  • Interactive prototypes
  • Technical development of initial modules

The challenge with Ureka was to develop a modern LMS as a SaaS solution that can be flexibly used by a wide range of companies – while remaining intuitive and easy to navigate. Despite its depth of content and wide range of features, the application needed to be easily accessible, clearly structured, and visually appealing.


The potential: a learning space that conveys complex topics in a playful way, combines scalability with user-friendliness, and sets new standards in digital learning.

Three main modules

03

  • Learn
  • Practice
  • Assess

Ureka structures the learning experience into three interconnected areas: In the Learning section, companies can create and provide their own content – from text to multimedia formats. Users work through the material independently and at their own pace.


The Training section deepens knowledge through interactive exercises such as multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or matching tasks. Finally, the Exam section enables formal knowledge assessment – including evaluation and the option to issue certificates.

Multiple-Choice-Questions

04

  • Seamlessly integrable into learning units
  • Fully customizable
  • Usable as exercise or knowledge check
  • Quiz mode for playful duels
  • Motivation through active comparison

Multiple-choice questions are a core element of Ureka and can be seamlessly integrated into any learning unit – as interim exercises, to reinforce content, or as quick knowledge checks along the way. These questions can be individually configured in terms of quantity, difficulty level, or feedback settings, offering maximum flexibility for content creators.


A particularly motivating feature: users can compete against each other in quiz mode, allowing them to challenge one another in a playful way. This not only enhances learning success but also introduces incentives through competition and comparison. The result: active, engaging learning that sticks.

Interactive Texts

05

  • Highlight and save text passages
  • Glossary links for technical terms
  • Customizable font sizes and colors
  • Designed for readability and accessibility

Texts in Ureka are more than just static content – they can be actively explored and individually adapted. Users can highlight passages to emphasize key information or save it for later. Technical terms are automatically recognized by an integrated glossary and visually marked within the text – a single click reveals the definition. For maximum readability, font sizes and colors can also be customized, making learning more accessible, comfortable, and tailored to individual needs.

Zertificates

06

  • Certificates for completed units
  • Flexible issuance based on defined criteria
  • Visible proof of learning success

With Ureka, certificates can be easily managed and assigned individually. For each learning unit, you can define whether a certificate should be issued – and under which conditions, such as passing an exam or completing the module. This makes learning progress visible and formally documented.

Rankings

07

  • Points for chapters, trainings & exams
  • Personal progress made visible
  • Motivation through playful competition

Ureka adds a playful element to learning: by completing chapters, trainings, and exams, users earn points and climb the rankings. This boosts motivation, makes progress visible, and encourages interaction through healthy competition.

Ureka supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via Google and Apple, allowing users to log in quickly and securely – without the need for an additional password. This saves time, lowers access barriers, and ensures a smooth onboarding experience.

In their personal profile, users can manage their data, track learning progress, and access certificates. The settings also allow for individual customization of language, display options (e.g., font size, color mode), and notifications. This makes Ureka a personalized learning space – tailored to each user’s needs and preferences.

A bell icon with a notification count is at the top right.

With personal lists, users can keep track of their learning: content can be easily saved and organized by topic – for example, for later review or targeted revision. This makes learning more structured, personalized, and easy to plan.

Screenshot of an app titled 'Lists'. There are three lists: 'Marked' with 23 entries, 'To Review' with 233 entries, and 'Personal List' with 12 entries. Next to each list, there is an 'Edit' option.Screenshot of an app titled 'Lists'. There are three lists: 'Marked' with 23 entries, 'To Review' with 233 entries, and 'Personal List' with 12 entries.

Ureka keeps users up to date with push notifications – whether new content is available, a reminder for the next training session is due, or a certificate is ready. This helps maintain the learning flow – without being intrusive.
