Learning path dashboard for enhancing skills
ABSTARCT :
Background: For a much simplified and initial solution, input (publication record) can also be provided in a consolidated single .bibtex file. However, it is desirable to provide input as an excel sheet, as mentioned earlier.
Description: The proposed solution should be able. Instructor shall have educational resources files in different formats like pdf, word, etc. and hyper-links of relevant academic literature Expected solutions: The desired solution is required to: -Learning dashboard showing different reading statistics like reading time of a particular topic.
Total finishing time of a particular skill. -The instructor should be able to easily create a learning path along with incorporating learning resources, as mentioned ""inputs."" including videos. -Progress made by the learner should be continuously updated. -The desired solution must follow UX principles.
EXISTING SYSTEM :
The research investigated on improving the user experience of a digital learning platform for personal learning and development and its usability by identifying the key factors that can improve the platform by designing new interfaces features for the platform. As the learning platform is used by two types of users in companies, managers and employees, the design of the new features will focus on these two categories of users.
The core of the research saw the implementation of new features integrated with new user interfaces to the existing platform. To do so, the research used a multi methodology approach including semistructured user interviews, design of digital user-interfaces, product and usability testing.
The first part of the research saw its focus on understanding the learning theory and learning models on which Peers developed their algorithm, along with familiarization of the product itself. Once the aim of the project was defined, the UX Research took place.
Interviews were conducted to better understand potential customers and to find out what problems they currently face in their daily tasks at work, their pain-points and how the solution provided by 2 peers could help them to solve these problems.
DISADVANTAGE :
The research consists of two phases: the Prototype creation phase and the Evaluation phase. The Prototype creation phase employs User Experience methods to determine which features a dashboard designed for boot camps should include and then proceeds to create an interactive prototype.
This prototype will simulate the passage of time from the beginning of the boot camp until graduation day to allow users to experience how it provides feedback about their progress.
The Evaluation phase will test the prototype with design experts and boot camp students. The former will help iron out common design mistakes. The latter will provide feedback on the educational benefits based on their experience from boot camps run by Novare Potential. Novare Potential is a recruitment company focused on newly arrived immigrants.
The company expanded into IT recruitment five years ago due to the increasing demand for IT skills in the Swedish workplace. In 2021, it opened its first boot camp course focused on frontend development, and the following year it opened a second course focused on backend development. Novare Potential would like to explore the possibility of developing and integrating these findings to use them in future iterations of their boot camps.
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
This dashboard will offer a user-friendly interface that allows individuals to set specific learning goals and customize their educational journey based on their interests, career aspirations, and current skill levels.
The system will feature various modules encompassing essential competencies, such as communication, critical thinking, leadership, and technical skills tailored to specific industries. Each module will include diverse learning formats, including interactive courses, videos, articles, and hands-on projects, ensuring engagement and catering to different learning styles.
Additionally, the dashboard will integrate assessment tools to track progress through quizzes, self-assessments, and peer reviews, providing immediate feedback and insights into learners’ strengths and areas for improvement.
To promote continuous learning, the system will incorporate resources for ongoing education, such as webinars, podcasts, and access to expert articles, along with a dedicated section for career development that includes resume writing tips and interview preparation.
ADVANTAGE :
Clear Roadmaps: A learning path dashboard provides a clear and organized framework for learners, outlining specific skills and knowledge areas to focus on
Tailored Paths: The dashboard can offer personalized learning paths based on individual interests, career goals, and skill levels, ensuring relevance and engagement.
Centralized Resources: A dashboard consolidates various learning materials, such as courses, articles, videos, and exercises, making it easy for users to find what they need.
Goal Setting: Users can set specific goals and milestones within the dashboard, which can boost motivation and commitment to learning.
identifying Gaps: The dashboard can help users identify skill gaps by comparing their current skills against required competencies, guiding them to targeted learning opportunities
