11. Design Question
How might we help students in 200A easily
navigate the OLI courseware and overcome their
struggles?
Recognize struggles
Take a next action
Understand (describe)
the content structure
15. Descriptive vs. Prescriptive

Applying the standard deviation rule Applying the standard deviation rule
“It seems that you’re struggling with
the application of SD rule…you
might want to consider practicing
more activities? You can practice
more activities here.”
I was curious about how students experienced studying OLI. Some students do not understand where they had struggles -- It can be difficult to recognize patterns in where they struggle most (because of the lack of instructor interaction with assessments? Because the activities are not obviously connected to the learning outcomes?)

One of the reasons for this need is that there is a disconnect between how instructors view statistics and how students do so. Oftentimes, students want to look for a particular topic with keywords in mind like this, the OLI does not allow students to do so. It has more
Lack of communication on the articulated skills and activities associated.

The clear knowledge structure is not well communicated to students (they don’t necessarily realize why they are doing activities)
Even though we have this clearly structured knowledge map, we only show learning objectives in OLI and students do not realize underlying skills which they are supposed to master.
To address this question, I decided to develop a learning dashboard with the idea of topic map.
This first prototype have topics instead of words such as “one categorical variable” to help students quickly identify where they want to learn and need to learn
This has more focus on the skill map I showed, students can click on each LO and the underlying skills come up.
I’m also thinking about how I should show their learning progress. I can show using bar charts with different colors or
