Another Perspective
Emotional design course, Shenkar, 2024
Overview
The brief
Design a digital definer for a topic of your choice, accessible on both mobile and desktop platforms. The definer should offer an immersive and engaging experience.
I decided to redefine everyday household items in a unique and unconventional manner. Viewing these items under a microscope reveals a fascinating and complex world.
The challenge
Transform the dull into the extraordinary by leading users through an environment that challenges their perceptions, unveiling the hidden beauty in everyday objects.
Reasearch
Through comprehensive research into the educational sector, specifically teachers experiences in Israel, I wanted to understand the factors contributing to the rise in teacher burnout. Interview with a teacher revealed tthis following challenges:
Test preparation and grading infringe on teachers' personal time without compensation, yet they are expected to meet strict deadlines for returning graded tests.
The construction of the test is often unstructured and left to the individual teacher's discretion.
The grading process is repetitive and arduous, with challenges in maintaining consistent scoring, sometimes leading to disparities.
Feedback delivery is typically restricted to written comments on the test or discussed during class time, with optional test corrections.
The Ministry of Education has no direct involvement in crafting the content of schools' internal examinations.
The entire process remains analog, relying solely on paper and pen, without the support of any technological tools.
The suggested solution
Introduce automated tools to enhance manual processes and an AI-powered system for test creation and grading. This system would generate exams based on a specified difficulty level and other relevant criteria. An analytical tool would monitor the test in real-time, providing immediate insights and a comprehensive analysis upon completion. This would enable teachers to receive actionable feedback and adapt their teaching strategies based on test outcomes, and of course - save a lot of time.
Main Features
These key features and data entities guided me in designing an effective solution.
