Challenge

To support diverse learning needs, MNB-EduLab sought a
flexible platform for its online initiative, Beconomist
(www.beconomist.hu).

This platform aimed to provide high-quality, accessible
content on finance and economics for a variety of users.
After two years of success, new challenges emerged:

  • Attracting and engaging occasional visitors with valuable content immediately upon arrival.
  • Improving usability and navigation to facilitate topic-based searches and create a seamless experience.
  • Accommodating academic demands from higher education institutions seeking to incorporate content for both Hungarian and international students.

Solution

In collaboration with MNB-EduLab, we tailored the
Webuni platform to meet these evolving needs with the
following adjustments:

For Occasional Visitors:

  • Created a video-centric landing page to capture visitor attention with readily accessible content.
  • Shifted focus from registration prompts to immediate course access for easy content exploration.
  • Streamlined course structure for unregistered smartphone users to allow rapid navigation and flexible content access.

For Higher Education Students:

  • Organized videos by topic for improved searchability and intuitive navigation, enabling users to quickly access specific subjects with one click.
  • Added subtitles to videos to expand accessibility, supporting both Hungarian and international audiences.

  • Enhance accessibility and usability of content to attract a wider audience.
