Mobile - Visual Course Progress

[marcotuts]

Abstract

This initiative aims to improve upon and extend the visuals from the progress page on the current Open edX platform web experience. By introducing new or improved progress visualizations, learners will be able to better grasp their progress to suit their personal learning objectives. In conjunction with efforts on course goal functionality, this work will lead to a more personal progress tracking experience. Improvements to progress visuals and tracking will also have the benefit of increasing learner engagement.

Context & Background (in brief, if a Product Proposal is linked above)

Goals

By designing new and improving existing visualizations, we hope to allow learners to:

• easily track overall progress in a course (x units complete, y units left)

• pick up where they left off (progress within content, ie: x% of video left, x questions left, etc)

• understand their progress towards passing a course (weighted grade)

As a result of the work in this initiative, we hope to drive engagement and support learner motivation.

Key Use Cases

• As a learner, I would like to track my progress towards course learning objectives. These can be course completion, video watch, completing assignments, and/or passing the course.

• As a learner, I would like to better understand where in my learning process I am within a course.

Scope & Approach (in brief, if a Product Proposal is linked above)

Stage 1 - Mobile Course Progress Page + Improvements

• We plan to convert the web Progress page to a mobile friendly format and suggest improvements.

Stage 2 - Video Progress and Completion

• We plan to add progress visuals for partially viewed videos in various places on the mobile experience.

• We also plan to add a visual to convey how much of the overall video content has been watched.

Stage 3 - Assignment Progress

• We plan to show progress visuals for assignments broken down by assignment type, for example: homeworks, labs, midterm etc.

Stage 4 - Home Page Mini Progress Views Carousel

• We propose introducing progress visuals from the different areas of the course experience to the new course Home page in a progress carousel. Design of the new course Home page is being addressed in the Course Content View project. These progress visuals will help orient learners and allow them to quickly pick up where they left off.

• Learners will be able to choose the visual that best suits their personal learning objectives by scrolling through the home page progress carousel.

Value & Impact (in brief, if a Product Proposal is linked above)

As a result of the work in this initiative, we hope to drive engagement and support learner motivation.
