GRADES GPA Realtime Advising Estimating System

An open source set of electronic tools to enable users to have greater knowledge about grading policy, calcu-lations and real time forecasting of grading impacts and completion rates. GRADES is provided in a web and excel spreadsheet formats. Both are highly customizable and provide flexibility for the institution and user.

http://faculty.metrostate.edu/CARPENFR/GRADES.htmlRole: Project management, design, developement and documentation

Documentation for GRADES Goals The goals of this documentation are to enable users, developers and policy makers to do the following:

• Determine the relevance and uses for this tool set in their particular situation

• Enable customization of this tool set for both institutional and personal use

• Enable interested parties to use this tool set for maximum impact for their particular situation

To achieve these goals the following has been done in the development of this documentation set:

• Specific section devoted to customizing this toolset for MNSCU (Minnesota State Colleges and Universities) institutions

• The code text itself has been detailed to provide a full understanding of the underlying functioning of the program. Further, the code has been commented so that with the use of this documentation all elements, both functional and policy related, are fully searchable and easily modified.

• Documentation breaking down the user interface elements, algorithmic functions, output data specifics and policy constraints underlying the functioning of the toolset has been designed for maximum ease of use.

Future Development The development is open to further improvements and refinements of the toolset. At least one further version of documentation will be made available by August 1, 2009 detailing the spreadsheet tool in greater detail. Also, stage three of development on generating bulk reports from MNSCU’s CAP server will be at first testing stage.

Feedback All feedback is welcome and should be directed to [email protected] Feedback links are provided in the toolset as well to a customized email form. The developers wish to incorporate as many improvements as possible.

Guidance for Use The HTML document and code for the web tool has been has been divided into sections. Sections are titled "Section" followed by a number (e.g Section 1). Dot notation is used to number subsections

Evaluation Initial feedback from faculty, staff and students has been positive:

Whoever made this connection I love you! -- Wendy Danko

Dear Metro State - This could the best thing you have done for students in my time at MSU. Lynda.com is an incredible resource and to now have access to it for free....just unbelievable stuff folks!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! -- Scott Wolfe

The initial round of communications has achieved more than 1000 registrants in a month’s time. Making the assumption of 6,747 (full year equivalent students, faculty and staff) then ~19% enrollment.

Initial data based on registrations.

Next Steps Though registrations are better than initially predicted a continuing marketing and communication campaign must be put forward. Possible paths include:

• Social media campaign throughout the school year and maybe on a permanent basis • Trainings as on-going feature • Email notifications continued • Further outreach to faculty

USER EXPERIENCE & PROTOTYPESMy long standing interest in design and user experience is shown in two courses that offered opportunities to do both software and paper prototyping.

user experience and design thinking

Scenario 1- Pay at the Pump Fueling https://app.moqups.com/T5HGVnh9/view

This graduate course provides advanced knowledge in designing user experience including discovery, conceptualization and design testing. Below are two low fidelity software prototype links that were part of a research paper addressing possible improvements to fuel pump payment processes

“The course marries theory and practice, as both are valuable in improving design performance.. Weekly design challenges test your ability to apply those ideas to solve real problems. The course is deliberately broad - spanning all domains of design, including architecture, graphics, services, apparel, engineered goods, and products. The emphasis of the course is the basic design process: define, explore, select, and refine.”
