2. 01 Introduction
This website is an online resource for a college statistic course. It is
a course through the Ohio State University within the Department of
Statistics.
URL: http://www.stat.osu.edu/~stat135/
02 Intended User
The students enrolled in the statistics course 135, the lecturers, and
the grad student TA‘s are the primary users intended to use this site.
The primary tasks are to communicate all aspects of course manage-
ment as it pertains to the student.

3. 03 Keys to Success
The underlying purpose is to be an accessible external resource, en-
hancing the student’s learning experience in a highly populated course.
It would be valued as solution to provide students a more personal
experience to their education regardless of class size.
The site already has all the necessary content but an adjustment to the
organization of the site would help to better serve the user.
04 Mandatory Design Considerations
What is actually required are links that will directly affect the educational
experience for the students on a daily baisis.
The client would keep all content that already exist but need to consolidate
the navigation menu by streamlining the categories and combining content.
The Ohio State University’s identification device needs to remain on all web
pages in addition to the main page. The Department of Statistics do not re-
ally have any specific branding but it would be important to have Ohio State
color swatches/ schemes in the redesigned website.

4. 05 Current Solution
As a user of this site, I know that all the necessary
links are all accessible from the main navigation menu
however there are links available in this menu that do
not need to be accessed as often, such as the sylla-
bus and pollicies.
It has a main body content, Ohio State’s identifica-
tion defice, title of the course and the following links
as listed to the left. These links range from particu-
lar details pertaining to the department’s 135 course,
such as tutoring hours to generic resources of online
textbook questions and help.

5. 06 Comparative Analysis
This site has a navigational course, identification devices of the school the course is of-
fered through, and a very clear and simple side navigation menu.
