Wide Walls International UX Research, EdTech and Entrepreneurship - Sedinam Worlanyo
A conversation with Sedinam Worlanyo is always packed with joyful stories, unexpected reflection, and actionable insights! Once you start this episode, I bet her contagious energy will keep you on!
Sedinam is a Senior UX Researcher at Coursera, focusing on learner experience, as well as international expansion efforts, to make learning accessible to everyone across the globe. She also leads the Coursera for Africa initiative, aimed at nurturing young talent across Africa and serving as a connector for partnerships within Coursera and organizations based in Africa.
Sedinam also created a newsletter called Skills Scratchpad where she shares personal insights to make UX research more approachable to people who may be interested but feel intimidated by this type of role.
In this episode of Wide Walls, we discuss her experience at Coursera and reflect on challenges and best practices when conducting international research. Then, we expand our conversation towards her vision of the EdTech and entrepreneurial ecosystems in Ghana - and in Africa more broadly - and the exciting opportunities for exchanges of skills and knowledge.
