L2 Learn v2 Launches with Four Exciting New Features

April 16th, 2024

10x Enhanced Usability and Accessibility

Just a few months ago, we launched L2 Learn, the industry’s first learning platform dedicated to Layer 2 and its associated technologies. Designed as a comprehensive hub, this platform enables users to learn everything Layer 2 has to offer, all in one place. Since its debut, L2 Learn has attracted a diverse group of thousands of users, from crypto newcomers making their first token purchases to blockchain veterans seeking to expand and deepen their expertise.

Despite the successful launch and positive community response, V1 was not without its imperfections—a common scenario in software development. It lacked many critical features that both users and our development team had wanted. Recognizing the need for improvement, today, we are thrilled to announce that L2 Learn V2 is now live! This update introduces four major upgrades aimed at dramatically improving both usability and accessibility, directly responding to the community’s needs.

The enhancements include:

Dark mode
Text-to-speech (TTS)
Multiple language support
Improved mobile navigation

Let’s take a closer look.

V2 New Features Overview:

Dark Mode

Recognizing that users often spend extended periods on screens during e-learning, we prioritized introducing dark mode, one of our most requested features, to enhance the user experience and encourage continuous learning. With the release of V2, users can now turn on the easy-on-the-eyes dark mode by simply clicking the moon icon at the top-right corner of the screen. This activation switches the interface to a user-friendly dark theme, with Pheasant’s iconic green color accentuating important navigation elements, active learning modules, and key information.

Text-to-Speech (TTS)

This highly demanded feature enables users to listen to lessons by clicking the ‘Listen’ icon located below the title on each page, allowing them to multitask effectively and study during commutes, workouts, or other daily activities. Utilizing the Web Speech API and implemented using React, our TTS feature allows learners to adjust the playback speed and pause whenever necessary.

This implementation is particularly motivated by the needs of auditory learners within our team, who absorb information more effectively through listening rather than reading. This trait is not uncommon; studies suggest that up to about 30% of the population are auditory learners like them. For these individuals, engaging with a purely text-based learning platform can be daunting and exhausting.

Moreover, we recognized that providing only text-based content fell short of inclusivity and accessibility standards. We are pleased to have introduced this feature early in the development process, ensuring it caters to a wider range of learning preferences.

Multiple Language Support

Crypto has become a global phenomenon, experiencing significant adoption across non-English-speaking regions, including Asia, Africa, and South America. These areas are often at the forefront of blockchain development, as many residents turn to the technology as an alternative to inadequate existing systems.

This widespread adoption underscores the critical need for multilingual support, enhancing accessibility and usability for users worldwide. In alignment with our mission to facilitate global adoption of Layer 2 technology, we have expanded L2 Learn to include support for 17 additional languages. To switch languages, simply click the ‘Language’ button located in the footer of the page and select your preferred language.

The supported languages are:

English
Español (Spanish)
Português (Portuguese)
Deutsch (German)
Italiano (Italian)
українська (Ukrainian)
Nederlands (Dutch)
Polski (Polish)
Русский (Russian)
Türkçe (Turkish)
हिन्दी (Hindi)
한국어 (Korean)
中文(简体) (Simplified Chinese)
中文(繁體) (Traditional Chinese)
日本語 (Japanese)
Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian)
Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)
ภาษาไทย (Thai)

Note: L2 Learn does not guarantee the accuracy of the content in any language other than English.

The V2 update introduces significant improvements to the mobile site, better catering to diverse learning styles. These include a refined navigation menu, easier switching between profile pages, the addition of dark mode, and streamlined access to Pheasant Bridge.

These enhancements make learning through the mobile site more casual and accessible. There’s no need to sit formally at your desk; simply open your phone and access L2 Learn anytime, anywhere. Learning should be inviting and approachable, not daunting.
