Teacher Review Page

The digital stack of assignments to review classwork, in real time

 

WHO

Instructional Content Platform, delivering differentiated, non-fiction content aimed at k-12 learners.

GOAL

Increase article assignments to
keep teachers engaged in premium offerings, such as the
Pro Binder.

ROLE

Lead designer, partnering with product and engineering leads.

 
 

The Process

The Pro-Binder redesign,  the premium product offering, was scheduled to be released in time for Back-to-School 2016. During the beta-release, a consistent pain point kept recurring: teachers were having a hard time reviewing  their individual student’s work.

 
 

Existing teacher journey

 

Reviewing interviews and classroom observations, I mapped out the teacher’s journey. The majority of pain points occurred during the in-class experience, where a teacher has to juggle instruction and grading papers on the fly for 30 students, in a 45 minute period.

 
 

The Output

The Teacher Review Page added a left side tool bar to the teacher’s view of an article.

TRP

 

Once an article has been assigned
to a class, the teacher can dive into individual student’s view of that same article, and review and respond to their work.

 
 

Outcome

Working with product and engineering leads, I helped make the case to scope this feature set into the upcoming release to the executive leadership team. 

The Teacher Review page launched along side the Pro-Binder to 100% of Pro Teachers in Q1 2017.

Release

January, 2017
