Shaped by students like you
Spark didn't come out of nowhere. Since our first pilot in Fall 2024, we've done extensive user testing with UCI students — interviews, usability sessions, and pilot feedback — and used what we heard to shape how Spark looks, sounds, and works.
From the wording of a spark to the charts in your analytics, the details were tested with real students and refined every quarter. Spark gets better because students tell us how.
Co-designed with students
Interviews and usability sessions guided every major decision.
Tested in real classes
Running with students since Fall 2024, before our full launch.
Refined every quarter
We keep listening and keep improving — every term.
Your sparks are waiting.
