Introduction
Field tests have shown that teachers struggle to:
- Find their textbooks when setup by someone else on the desktop app for use in class
- Find textbooks or content that they would like to download
- Realise that they are online and can download content
Owing to this, there is a need to improve content discoverability on the desktop app.

<Improve the experience of the My Library and Browse Online so that teachers can find textbooks faster> Overview
Todays My Library page has a Recently Added section, and class-based categories. Teachers and students don't find this categorisation very intuitive, and hence end up trying to use filters, or scrolling through the recently added section in order to find the book that they are looking for. Teachers are also unable to rationalise the difference between their library and the browse online section.
This story involves renaming My Library to My Downloads, adding subject based categories, an all downloads section and improving the filters to allow users to navigate between medium and class.

<Improve the textbook details page so that a user can play the exact content they're looking for> Overview
Based on field studies, it is apparent that users struggle with the actions to perform on the textbook details page. This needs to be improved in order to
- Ensure the user is shown the textbook TOC, and can easily navigate between chapters to get to the content they're looking for.
- Ensure the user can play content from the TOC - and that they can additionally download the content or copy it to an external source, should they choose to do so.
- Ensure the user can also download the entire textbook or copy the entire textbook to an external source, should they choose to do so.
