Functional user journeys #

1. Course Creation Journey

User Goal: Generate and save a personalized course based on their inputs.

• User opens the website and get on the home page.
• User clicks on “Create New Course”.
• User provides inputs (e.g., topic, difficulty level, duration).
• Frontend validation ensures required fields are filled correctly (error handling).
• User submits the form -> the system processes inputs and generates a structured course.
• User reviews the generated course and clicks “Save.”
• The course is stored in their dashboard.
  
  

2. Course Progress Tracking Journey

User Goal: Track learning progress.

• User navigates to their dashboard and selects a saved course.
• Course displays lessons in a sidebar and subtopics in lesson page.
• User clicks a checkbox next to a subtopic to toggle completion status.
• Backend updates progress and last activity time.
  
  

3. Course Deletion Journey

User Goal: Remove an unwanted/completed course.

• User views their list of saved courses.
• User clicks a “Delete” button on the bottom of the course page.
• Frontend confirms the action.
• Backend processes the DELETE request -> course is removed from the dashboard.
