22. Redesigning the 2.9 Portal with the User in Mind User Interviews “ Everything is buried so many layers deep. The navigation is hard work right now.” “ There's no good search functionality.” “ That first page is a waste, there's never any content on it.” “ All the course numbers start getting confusing after you get a lot of classes in there, especially since they never disappear from the nav bar.” “ If I want to see an old class or group it’s a pain to find it.”
