Title: Checking for Missing or Incomplete Assignments in Google Classrooms
Client: Educational professionals
Made with: Apple Pages, Keynote, Inkle writer, and ioRad.
Time in Development: 16 hours
Collaborators: Solo-Project
Background
Students and families are trying to help students improve their grades in classes by finding the missing and incomplete assignments in Google Classroom.
Solution Developed
As the end of the semester approaches students and families start reaching out to the teachers about missing and incomplete assignments that the students could still work on. For this project, the techniques for the learners to find out what assignments are still in need of completing was going to need to be in two parts, one for students and one for families.
After the two paths of instruction were identified a rough draft of the process was written. Then a screen recording was made of a user completing the task of checking the classwork tab in Google Classroom and using the To-do tab to identify missing assignments in a specific class. The rough draft was then augmented with the additional steps from the screen recording.
Results
It was very interesting comparing the rough draft to the screen captured list. As an instructor you have some steps that are committed to muscle memory and will be skipped over. The screen capture showed all those steps.
An instructional choice that was made was to split the lesson into “Student” and “Family” paths. Having the two techniques treated separately made the lesson’s shorter and able to be digested by the learners quicker. On the final step for each path there is the option for the learners to end the lesson there or go on to the other path.
At this moment the tutorial is written in Inkle Writer which is Unity Engine and ioRad friendly so it can be used to finalize the product. I did not want to go all the way to ioRad because it uses fixed videos that would require additional production time to match the client system the existing videos. Now it is more plug and play with client systems but the connections are present. An area of professional growth was learning ioRad and Inkle’s coding systems that by extension gave me glimpses into Unity Engine coding.
