Define “course management”
• More than data integration
• User-based understanding– Expressed in goals
![Page 5: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Who are the users?(personas/archetype users)
• Instructors (tenure-track faculty, language instructor)
• TAs
• Support Staff (tier-1, tier-2/instructional designer, local admins)
![Page 6: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Persona - Sara
Sara McCloud, Tenured Professor
“Publish or Perish”
• Sara has been with UC, Berkeley for the past 15 years after a 5 year stint as an instructor at a community college back east in her home town. Even though it seems she is working 24/7, she loves her job. When she is not preparing for, administering and teaching in the classroom, she spends as much time as possible on her research. She co-authored the book, “A Human Perspective on Microbiology” and is currently working on the 2nd edition. Besides her teaching and research, Sara is involved in several campus-wide initiatives that also take up quite a bit of her time
off and on….. Goals:• Leverage previous semester course materials• Not to have to ask for help• Spend as much time as possible focusing on her research -- spend as little time as possible doing administrative work; she’ll delegate to her TA’s• Distribute course materials efficiently• Communicate more efficiently with students and TA’s (focused communication to relevant recipients)
![Page 7: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Instructor’s idea of “course management”
• Course “administration” (people, sections, grades, etc.)
• Reuse/organize/distribute course content
• Enable communication• Delegate work• Improve teaching
![Page 8: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Persona - Akmal
Akmal Taheer, Tier-1 Support
“LMS Problem Solver”
• Akmal has been working in the support and training group at the University of Arizona for the past 3 years. For Akmal, although this is “just a job”, he is proud of the efficiency he is been able to bring to his duties in supporting faculty and TAs in their LMS use. He appreciates
that his job allows him spend as much time as possible with his family in evenings and on weekends. Akmal is married and has a son, 4 yrs old and daughter who is 6. He does not have a shortage of family activities to attend since his extended family also lives in Tucson... Goals:
• “Clean” his desk by end of each day
• Answer incoming questions as quickly as possible
• Be known as the “go to” person for questions about the LMS
• Spend as much time with his family as possible
• Take care of problems before they arise to minimize incoming requests

Support staff’s idea of “course management”
• Setting-up sites
• Populating sites with people
• Setting permissions
• Modifying information
• Fixing problems
![Page 10: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Frame the Problem (UI-centric)
1. Arbitrary duplication of functionality (e.g. rosters in various tools, worksite set-up/site info/membership)
2. Not all user-needed data is surfaced (e.g. student ID, enrollment status, course structure relationships)
![Page 11: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Frame the Problem (cont’)
3. Workflows require hopping between tools (e.g. worksite set-up/membership, site info/section info)
4. Workflows don’t mirror the users’ mental models for completing activities (e.g. fragmented work patterns, course structures, delegation of site set-up work difficult (e.g. TAs))

Design Goals
• Create streamlined, cohesive workflows
• Improve course staff collaboration
• March users’ mental models
• Expose and utilize existing SIS data
![Page 31: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Initial Scope
• Current Sakai CM functionality
• Show “Oliver” document
![Page 32: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Context Scenarios(User Research Requirements)
• Based on the environment/contrains of persona
• “Goal-directed” version of interaction
• Show Context Scenarios doc
![Page 33: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Review Requirements
• The whole enchilada
• Show Merged Document
![Page 34: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
We made a persona-based scope decision for design
• Focused on Sara/Instructor persona– Minus Content!!!
• Some consideration for Support– Support gets indirect benefit (easier site
creation for instructors, no request & approve)– Potential narrow-focus admin tool– Not tackling Users, Aliases, Sites, Realms,
On-Line, Memory, Site Archive, Enter-as-user
![Page 35: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
User-Centered Design Process
• Where are we?
![Page 36: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
UI Framework Solution Options
• Descending order of quality of user experience
• Ascending order of changes to current
• Can mix and match, but these are our recommendations...
![Page 37: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Workspace)– Shows list of sites– New site creation workflow– Join/Un-join Sites (was Membership)
• Home (new, in site)– Supports “checklist” for site organization and
population– Displays course data in structured way (was Gap 42,
“structured homepage”)
![Page 38: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

• Pros – Meets 2 of 5 goals
• Site structures represented • Only 1 tool required for assigning TAs to sections
– Minimal implementation complexity & political repercussions• Limited development in velocity tool (WS)• Development in Section Info (“owned” by UCB)

Let’s make a decision!
![Page 67: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Decision Considerations
• SU & UCB priorities
• Time and resources
• Velocity vs JSF tools
• Usability of existing tools/Design Goals
• Politics
![Page 68: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Stanford and UC-Berkeley Priorities (new functionality)
Stanford• Course structures
(sections, x-listing)• Dept./Local Admin• Auto-populate (now
instructor self-serve) sites
UC-Berkeley• Course structures
(sections, x-listing)• ID, enrollment
status, pictures
![Page 69: Course Management Scope Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d04550346895da6a8b6/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Where do we go from here?
• Duffy says:– What about staging? Not monolith– It’s community source...it should be hard– Need short-term results
• For SU & UCB• Also for community buy-in
