itslearning Roadmap Februar 2016

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Hopwood hall, Site ID 1756
  2. There are two important trends that dominates the itslearning roadmap. Use this slide as a background to talk about the two trends. Each of the ”sub” areas (and more) are explained in the following slides. You should know the rest of the roadmap well, and use this slide to highlight important for your audience. The first trend is what is often referred to as «consumerisation of enterprise software». The end-users expectations to software has changed forever with social media and the mobile revolution. And the end users expect that the software provided to them by their employer, university or school works as well as the software they surround themselves with in their personal life. In addition the move to cloud based software services are weakening the IT departments and putting the end user more in control of the decision processes. As a supplier we need to understand these changes in expectations and deliver a user experience that is not only functional and modern but also can delight our end user. The second important trend is the maturisation of learning platforms in big organisations. Our customers are expecting more of a learning platform in terms of running their core processes, not just as an individual teacher but as a school or municipality. Organisations want the learning platform to help roll out curriculum and plans across the institution. They want us to ensure that they can deliver a benchmark of quality in their services. And sometimes they want us to be able to report back on aggregated results from different schools and areas.
  3. For notes on the UX section please review the internal page created for UX: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2579217/html/internal/index.html
  4. NB! Look and feel might not represent the final product. Screenshots from mock-ups and prototypes being tested.
  5. We want to provide teachers with valuable insights without having to dig through secluded reports. We also want to help teachers save time on routine tasks, so they can spend more time teaching. The follow up tasks content block on the home page will keep teachers up to date on their upcoming assessment work across courses. A ”Your students” section gives teachers a quick overview of their courses, as well as shortcuts to follow up individual students, register attendance etc. Mentors will have a separate tab about their mentor students.
  6. Like the new user home page, the course home page is reserved for communication, upcoming tasks and events. The course content (tree menu elements) is moved to a new Resources section. Users can search and filter content. Separating the tree menu from the course dashboards allows users who depend on the tree menu to continue their practice, while the file structure is less prominent for all users who prefer to use the planner to organise the content. Again, the aim is a more focused experience that works beautifully on small devices.
  7. NB! Look and feel might not represent the final product. Screenshots from mock-ups and prototypes being tested.
  8. The “Latest changes” content block will be developed into a news stream, that displays updates from the users’ courses and groups (such as the school or the class). Along with the personal notifications, messages, tasks and events, the news stream provides a full overview of what’s happening in one page. The news stream is one of several measures to strengthen itslearning as a communications platform. An increasing number of teachers turn to other systems for their basic communication needs, because itslearning is not perceived as simple enough to use. To remedy this, we will make it easy for teachers to share content, and to start and follow-up valuable conversations. The teachers updates are displayed directly, which lowers the threshold for consumption and engagement with content. The user images and comments helps foster an environment for participation and conversations around the updates, making itslearning feel more like a natural extension of the physical classroom. Example scenario: During class, a teacher senses that the students struggle to follow the topic. After class he finds a video on YouTube that he thinks will be helpful to understand the topic. He quickly shares the video by pasting it into the course updates. Students are triggered to watch the video, comment on it, and add questions of their own. The conversation can keep going long after the topic was first brought up in class.
  9. A bit further down the line we will completely rewrite the project tool, introducing a more generic group tool. The group is basically a device for communication and collaboration within a group, and it can be used for school groups (information from the school or the class), interest groups (teachers, parents group, school orchestra), and ad-hoc groups for learning, much like today’s projects. Updates from a users’ groups appear along with the class updates in the news stream on their home page. The group tool will provide a poweful way of communication with a group of users, meaning the hierarchy dashboards can be discontinued. Groups are simple yet flexible, and can be customized. In the future the groups tool might become a tool that allow students to work across sites, and teachers to form communities of practice - even invite users that does not have an itslearning account.
  10. We will continue the work on improving the message system bychanging the model from old-fashioned e-mail, to conversations users are familiar with from other social platforms. Messages will be organised by conversation, and the inbox will be simplified. Users can read and write messages on every page jn itslearning. Example scenario: When writing a message to a parent, the teacher needs to check up specific details about the child’s attendance status. While writing the message in the message popover, the teacher can navigate around to check the child’s records.
  11. NB! Look and feel might not represent the final product. Screenshots from mock-ups and prototypes being tested.
  12. The core of itslearnings mobile strategy is to create a responsive web application (e.g. a web-application that works well on mobile browsers), our strategy includes creating native apps to take advantage of the strenghts of devices such as tablets and smart phones. These will exist only to leverage the phone/tablet hardware features that cannot be used through One-web approach. This autumn we are introducing our first native app (iOS and Android). The main objective for the app is to: 1) Bridge our web application with your mobile phone! We are simplifying mobile login and integrating with the device’s calendar and notifications systems 2) Giving easy access to important information, tasks, changes, updates and messages from your peers and students. We believe the main target for this app is students and is focused around the most used tasks for students. Teachers will also find it useful for quick access to messages and their calendar. This app is designed for small, personal, devices, not tables. We believe a different approach is needed for tablets/ipads. We will continuosly monitor feedback from our users, and are planning short developmenty cycles and quick fixes based on this feedback.

  14. Note! Only use this slide if you are comfortable discussing the content. We will continue to work on this slide and present an updated slide in the near future. Improved ease of use – expanded sharing, searching, managing, and collaboration  Create or adapt: Create content in your course or directly in the library. We’ll continue to expand the types of content that can be used, and make creating and management of content in the library and in courses. We’ll also remove any observable difference between the way elements behave, making any differences between library content and course content invisible for the user (e.g. the way learning objectives behave differently between File/Link and File). We’ll also continue to make it easier to adapt content you have found, and make it your own by tailoring it to your needs. Tag: It is already possible to tag library resources with keywords, description, language, format and intended audience. We’ll make it possible to add even more useful tagging options. (Which?) Share: Sharing good materials between colleagues and the community is a good thing! (Why?) and we want to encourage it by making it even more easy to share content directly, no matter where you have created it. Moderate: Do we want to add something here? Site administrators moderating content shared on their school? Search: We’ve already made it easier to create your own collection of materials (self-created or created by others). We’ll make it even easier to search and find the content you are looking for – and with the quality you expect. Use: User content in courses and in other areas of itslearning. Discuss: It is already possible for teachers to rate content – we’ll make it possible for teachers to add comments to shared content, to make it easier for other to find quality content.
  15. NOTE! Only use this slide if you are comfortable discussing the content. We will continue to work on this slide and present an updated slide in the near future. Itslearning already supports the creation and distribution of shared content through our library. Entire courses can be set-up and shared through course templates. LTI and our App program allow 3rd party tools and content to be seamlessly added to courses. We will improve the flexibility and sharing options for these systems. Improved library workflow and user experience (2014 and more updates in 2015) Improvements to our App library with more flexible options for including 3rd party content in itslearning (2015).
  16. We know that our teachers, student and other users use a host of other services, systems and applications in their teaching and learning activities. itslearning has always strived to be an open platform, and offer close interoperability between itslearning and these services. No learning platform is an island! When itslearning create integrations between our core platform and other services, we do not want to go for the easy solution and implement a “Tick-off-the-box” integration. We want to support the core processes of our users, and create seamless integrations that will will help our users draw the benefit of all systems by bringing other services into the core workflows in itslearning. We are now working on two efforts: Seamless upload of files from cloud-based services, and a seamless integration of Microsoft’s web-based productivity tools.
  17. We are introducing the ”OWAS” (Office Web Application Server) technology to itslearning. OWAS is a new Office server product that delivers browser-based versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote. We already have some customers who are piloting this, and we expect to make this available to all our customers in early 2015. This means that our teachers, students, and other users will be able to upload, create, view and edit office documents in itslearning directly in their browser, without downloading the files, and without the need for locally installed versions of office.   OWAS has also direct support for collaboration and co-editing of documents, which will introduce many new options for collaboration between users.   We are introducing this across itslearning, but are prioritizing areas where this will have the most impact, including: Create, edit and view office documents directly in the “File/Link” extension. Also supports preview of various other document formats, including Open Office & PDF. Use OWAS to submit your assignment files – or view, comment, assess and provide feedback without the need to download files
  18. The assignment tool is the definitely most used tool in itslearning, and more than a hundred thousand new assignments are created in the most active months. Even more assignments are reused within a single course. We’re now in the progress of upgrading and modernizing the assignment tool, and while doing this, introduce much better support for sharing and reusing assignments as well as the option to share model answer illustrating great answers to an assignment. Share assignments with your colleagues, your school district or the itslearning community. Search, adapt and reuse assignments created by your colleagues, your school district, other itslearning users or third party assignment providers (O, really?) Improved, responsive and modernized user interface, improved workflows and better support for mobile devices Import files from your favorite cloud-based storage provider, making it easy to submit content created on any device as part of your assignment answer Use web-based productivity tools (Office Web Apps) to seamlessly create, edit or view assignment hand-ins or teacher comments in the assignment, without downloading the file(s) or requiring locally installed software Do you have a great example of how to answer an assignment? Share it together with the assignment as a model answer.
  19. Same great tool: It will still be the test tool you are familiar with. Our goal is: Consistent, but modernized. We’ll keep the features you know and love, and remove the complexity and the things that “Get in your way” when creating & taking tests. We’ll introduce some highly anticipated new features, such as: Better and more detailed feedback from the teacher. Teachers can now give students feedback on each individual test attempt, not only “Open answer” questions. Better support for modifying tests that have been started. We’re all human and mistakes happen – your students should not have to re-take the test just because there is an small error in one question. We’ll make it possible to override the automatic assessment - after all, the teacher is the authority on the student’s achievments. Better import and export of results – And more! Responsive and touch friendlly: The upgraded test tool will have a great, responsive user experience. You will be take - and create - tests on the device of your choice: Desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones. Share & Re-use. We’ll make it even more easy to share and re-use your test. The test tool will be shareable in the library, making it easier to to share tests between your courses, your colleagues, your school district or even the entire itslearning community. You’ll also be able to find ready made tests, and adapt and tailor them to your specific needs.
  20. The hard part of creating a test is creating good questions. We want to make this work simpler and faster, and will introduce a Question bank. Teachers will be able to search for questions, either by keywords or learning objectives, and easily include them into their test. Teachers will be able to share their own questions with their colleagues, and we will also make it possible for 3rd party vendors to share their bank of professionally made questions.
  21. The planner has been part of the functionality in itslearning that has been growing the fastest. We will continue to improve itslearning’s support for the wide range of planning processes that are happening in educational institutions. Over the next years we have a number of planned changes for the calendar, most of which are connected with scaling out planning in an institution. We are planning to make plans (with connected resources) shareable to the library in itslearning, allowing for a better re-use and collaboration on plans. We are also looking into changes around how homework is planned and making topics tagable with learning objectives. Better support for high level planning, by making it possible to map topics (/units) with the curriculum (2014). Automatically make (lesson) plans and their content available to students over time. Teachers can safely plan ahead without overloading their students with information (2014). Improve the way homework can be assigned to students and the way homework is presented to students (2014). Provide searchable libraries of lesson of Individual Learning Plans. Support sharing of best practice that can then be tailored to individuals to help every user succeed (2014).
  22. Making a good plan for teaching a topic or a course is a time-consuming job. Maybe there are several teachers teaching the same subject in the same – or different – schools. We want to create an arena for collaboration on plans, and sharing good plans that you have put a lot of work in, to save time for yourself or someone else later on. The plans can be tagged, previewed, reviewed and searched. (2015)
  23. Many users have requested an option to tag elements or tasks as homework, or somewhere in the planner to put homework, to separate it from work being done in school. We aim to solve these pains and make homework a part of the platform. We want to make it easy for the teacher to add homework to a plan and to the students’ taskslist, so that both students and parents get a good overview of what is expected done by a certain date or lesson. At the same time we know some schools or school districts do not use homework, and it might be irrelevant to some of your higher ed customers. This means homework is a concept that can be turned on/off for a site.
  24. When we introduce the concept of homework tasks in the platform, we also want to make it easy for teachers to quickly add such tasks. Some homework tasks are as easy as “Read chapter 3”, and adding such tasks using for example custom activity may seem a bit cumbersome. So somewhere on the course landing page there will be an “Add task” for the teacher to do this.
  25. The support for standards and learning objectives in itslearning already provides inclusion of all major standards banks, the ability to tag resources to standards or sets of standards and full reporting across students’ progress against standards. In 2015 we plan to extend learning objectives with those features teachers have been asking for. Provide learning objective progress reports across all of a student’s courses, and aggregated to show progress on standards by all students in a school (2014).
  26. Our organisation API is a powerful system for the secure exchange of data between itslearning and authorised 3rd party systems. It can provide providing access to grades, events, user details and We have been working with content vendors to open up our Library to their content and this is now in use across our customers. In 2015 we will extend both the scope and data exchange facilities of the APIs.
  27. Create and import content
  28. The personal API allows trusted third-parties to access information on individual users (teachers, students and parents). This is a prerequisite for developing apps, both for our own company apps or to give access for third parties who can then create their own web apps or native apps. Example of services: ·         Read Bulletins / News ·         Read internal messages ·         Read personal contacts ·         Read courses ·         Read calendar activities ·         Write new messages ·         Upload files (e.g. an image) to My Files, an open assignment or as a teacher a course
  29. Use this slide at the end of the presentation in order to give the audience you contact details. You can delete the different contact details (perhaps you don’t want to give a huge room of people your Skype address) as you see fit.
