David decided: Specified data privacy screen copy for Kerra onboarding — no jargon
David co-authored the copy for a Kerra onboarding data privacy disclosure screen, rejecting LMS jargon, unclear blocks, and redundant messaging in favour of plain language that addresses users' copyright concerns directly.
After Kerra's growth lead flagged 30 signups and data-sharing concerns from students, David worked through the copy for a privacy disclosure onboarding screen. He caught and fixed several problems:
On LMS jargon:
don't use the name LMS. say "Canvas (or any other college's site)"
On an incomprehensible block 5:
no, block 5 doesn't make any sense. no one knows what sync is. don't put block 5 in. is that about? block 3 and 4 seem to say the same thing
On copyright language:
"Kerra is not making any of your copyrighted lectures public" use the word copyrighted there
After iteration, he settled on:
Kerra brings your classes, deadlines, and course materials into Kerra and organizes them into notes, a calendar that stays up to date, and focused workspaces for you.
The screen was designed to address the specific anxiety David's growth lead flagged: students worried Kerra would share their university's copyrighted lecture materials publicly.
