Exploratory Eye Tracking Research with Curriculum MappingIan Carnaghan
This document summarizes an exploratory eye tracking study of a web-based curriculum mapping system used by the Oakland Public School system. The study tested how easily users could complete tasks like locating lesson plans and curriculum information. It found that search results were cluttered, the distinction between browsing and searching was unclear, and unit pages required too much scrolling. Recommendations included simplifying the search, explaining education terms, and improving the formatting of results and unit pages. Redesigned wireframes were proposed to address these issues. However, the document notes that further research is needed due to the small user sample size and that some flaws could be due to how Atlas was implemented in Oakland specifically.
