Problem Statement
In our learning portal, we offer two courses: Intensive 3.0 and Academy. It has come to our attention that when users complete 70 to 80% of these courses, they struggle to recall the topics they learned at the beginning. To thoroughly revise those units, users need to spend 30 to 40 minutes per unit again - Most of the users described the revision process as cumbersome and lengthy. The challenge of integrating sufficient revision time into their already packed schedules is a common concern among our users.

So when a notification buzzes on a user’s phone, like the one below, panic can set in. In fear of losing this impressive streak, the user will feel more inclined to hop onto NxtBytes’ app and reach their daily goal. Using the word ‘Streak is in danger’ is also strategic as it adds a human factor to the streak itself, adding an element of desperation and igniting emotions within the user, even if they don’t realise it.
