full case study / education & study planning

exooda

Product strategy, information design and a national search platform for students choosing where to study in Canada.

01 / the brief

A clearer way to compare Canadian study options.

A program search can become a browser full of tabs: one for tuition, another for admission requirements, another for the rules that affect the decision. exooda brings those details together, with the original sources close at hand.

Build a study-planning product that makes programs comparable while keeping changing fees, requirements and eligibility conditions visible.

02 / the approach

how we shaped the work.

  1. Organise search around the questions students bring: what to study, where to go and what it costs.

  2. Keep domestic and international fees distinct, and label published figures, estimates and conditional information.

  3. Connect comparison and saved programs to the school and government sources behind each record.

03 / design decisions

From a country of options to a shortlist.

School, location, credential and tuition filters give a large catalog a manageable shape. Students can move from discovery to a three-program comparison without rebuilding their search.

The source stays with the answer.

Published fees and estimates receive different labels. Admission and post-study conditions sit beside their sources, making it clear which details need a closer look before applying.

04 / what we delivered

from the brief to the finished work.

National program search, school directory, tuition and admissions detail, saved programs and three-way comparison in a responsive beta.

A live beta with a catalog spanning all 13 Canadian provinces and territories.
