1. On-Demand Learning Center Improving learning for everyone Robert Ly David Tedjasatyawira Ryan LaBarre Matt Killam

2. Outline • Motivation Behind The ODLC • Initial Design • Usability Evaluating • Final Design & Prototype Demo

3. Motivation Behind The ODLC • View missed lectures • Review lectures for studying purposes • View lectures before enrolling • Rate lectures for increased content quality

4. Viewing Missed Lectures • The ODLC would provide access to pre-recorded lectures • Lectures can be viewed for as long as the video is available • Lectures can be viewed at the user’s convenience

5. Review Lectures For Studying Purposes • Increases lecture availability and decreases student confusion • Helps keep students up-to-date on professor announcements • Decreases stress on professors by allowing students to view lectures before asking questions at office hours

6. View Lectures Before Enrolling • Screen professors to know what to expect • Expand personal horizons by viewing lectures that you are interested in

7. Rate Lectures For Increased Content Quality • Ratings provide feedback to both students and professors • Lectures with lower ratings will slowly get weeded out of the database • Lectures with higher ratings stay in the database longer

8. Initial Design Of The ODLC A central room for students to view lectures

9. Physical Room Layout • A common room with individual workstations and group clusters • Workstations with headphones to limit ambient noise • Clusters are group-oriented • A big screen is available for mass viewing of a single lecture • Hardware device controls

13. Usability Evaluation: Proposed System For the people, by the people

14. Usability Evaluations: The Plan • Evaluate an initial prototype ODLC design • Develop a weighted system to rank important aspects of the tested interfaces • Have users evaluate the system • Analyze metrics from the evaluation of the system • Pinpoint strengths and weaknesses of the system and use that information to create a better system

15. Usability Evaluations: The Results Overwhelming desire for web-based, remote system

16. Evaluation Outcome View courses not enrolled in

17. Evaluation Outcome • View missed lectures • Use for study review • Find lectures not necessarily enrolled in • View lectures remotely

18. Evaluation Conclusion • Users prefer individual use from home • Web-based accessibility • Total software interface, no hardware control • Distance learning • Move away from initial ODLC room idea • MyLectures™

19. Final Design Of The ODLC A web accessible lecture viewing tool

20. Final Design Of The ODLC • A web based system • Access not restricted to a physical ODLC room • All controls software based • Emphasis on individual use instead of group collaboration

21. ODLC User Interface • Simple, intuitive, dynamic web interface • Separate content and interface design • Includes a rating system, search features, and standard media player controls

22. Final Product Prototype • Basic demo • http://odlc.reywire.com
