Project Overview
The platform reorganises a 12-week introductory microeconomics course into a connected understanding path built from 33 source files and more than 2,000 pages of material.
Each topic moves from intuition to reasoning, diagrams, formulas and common mistakes so learners can understand what changes in a model and why behaviour follows.
The Learning Challenge
Microeconomics is often taught through curves and formulas before learners understand the choice, constraint and marginal trade-off underneath them.
The design challenge was to preserve analytical precision while making each model explainable in plain language and usable in a problem-solving context.
Learning System
The platform connects four complementary learning modes.
Twelve-week Map
The course sequence moves from scarcity and trade through markets, welfare, firm decisions and strategic interaction.
Understanding Mode
Every concept progresses from core intuition to a step-by-step mechanism, concrete situation and self-check.
Diagram Library
Visual models are treated as explanations of changing incentives and constraints rather than images to memorise.
Practice Path
Worked examples, common traps and exam prompts connect conceptual understanding to calculation and written reasoning.
Design Approach
Reorganised source material around mechanisms rather than document order.
Introduced intuition before notation and calculation.
Explained each conclusion through a visible chain of assumptions and behavioural responses.
Connected diagrams, formulas and examples to the same underlying economic question.
Added self-checks and common-error prompts to support active revision.
Current Outcome
The live platform provides a complete 12-week course map with detailed explanations, worked examples, diagrams, formulas and revision pathways.
The project demonstrates how information architecture and interactive explanation can make quantitative course material more coherent without removing its analytical structure.
