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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ODLC User Interface

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

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

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

Evaluation Outcome View courses not enrolled in

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

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™

Final Design Of The ODLC A web accessible lecture viewing tool

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

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

Final Product Prototype Basic demo
