Outline

• Motivation Behind The ODLC
• Initial Design
• Usability Evaluating
• Final Design Prototype Demo

3
Motivation Behind The ODLC

• View missed lectures
• Review lectures for studying purposes
• View lectures before enrolling
• Rate lectures for increased content quality

4
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 users convenience

5
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

6
View Lectures Before Enrolling

• Screen professors to know what to expect
• Expand personal horizons by viewing lectures that
  you are interested in

7
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

8
Initial Design Of The ODLC

• A central room for students to view lectures

9
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

Usability Evaluation Proposed System

• For the people, by the people

14
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

15
Usability Evaluations The Results

• Overwhelming desire for web-based,
• remote system

16
Evaluation Outcome

• View courses not enrolled in

17
Evaluation Outcome

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

18
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

19
Final Design Of The ODLC

• A web accessible lecture viewing tool

20
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

21
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
