Feedback Page Re-design

(Duration: 1 month)

The feedback page is a page heavily used by teachers to understand how their class is doing and who needs their work reviewed. This page hadn’t been updated to incorporate newer styles in our design system. I increased the scope of work to be able to better address the needs of teachers on this page while also improving the usability of the page.

Goals

• Update page to reflect our new design styles

• Support new math curriculum needs which now included online assessments

• Improve data visualization to make it easier for teachers to see progress

Some of the Usability Issues Found

• Double tabs required a lot of navigation to get to timely actions and understand student progress

• Data visualizations were being cut off in left panel

• Name of tab didn’t represent how teachers use this page

Concept Explorations for Visualizing Assessment Data

Part of this redesign was to support the new online Math assessments that would be rolled out. This required a summary visualization so that teachers were able to see how their class did on the assessment.

Final Designs

Improvements Made

• Renamed tab to Feedback to better communicate how teachers use page

• Remove right panel sub-tabs and consolidate all student status types (needs feedback vs given feedback) into a dynamic list that was sorted with a default priority on students needing feedback or help.

• Updated visualization style to include donut and bar chart to provide more scan-able top-level information

• Changed link-style button on right side from being dynamic to persistent (prior this link changed name depending on what sub-tab was selected)
