Outline
Motivation Behind The ODLC Initial Design Usability Evaluating Final Design & Prototype Demo
Motivation Behind The ODLC
View missed lectures Review lectures for studying purposes View lectures before enrolling Rate lectures for increased content quality
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 user’s convenience
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
View Lectures Before Enrolling
Screen professors to know what to expect Expand personal horizons by viewing lectures
that you are interested in
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
Initial Design Of The ODLC
A central room for students to view lectures
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
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
Usability Evaluations: The Results
Overwhelming desire for web-based,
remote system
Evaluation Outcome
View courses not enrolled in
Evaluation Outcome
View missed lectures Use for study review Find lectures not necessarily enrolled in View lectures remotely
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™
Final Design Of The ODLC
A web accessible lecture viewing tool
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
ODLC User Interface
Simple, intuitive, dynamic web interface Separate content and interface design Includes a rating system, search features,
and standard media player controls
