The MarkUs Dashboard has been left empty for a while now. So as part of my UI/UX role this term, I’ve came up with a new design for it! Here it is:

MarkUs: Dashboard Prototype

Feedback:

• Karen: Instructors often like to know the assignment average as a fraction in addition to the percentage.
  New Format: “Assignment Average: 70/100 (70%)” — for example

Last week, a small group of MarkUs team members spent a good hour in the #markus IRC channel going through my first batch of prototypes.  We also took this opportunity to hammer out some of the usability issues in the current release of MarkUs.  So instead of putting together meeting minutes for this UI/UX meeting, I decided to put together a usability design report that laid out the issues discussed, what our next steps are, and what the rationale is behind these design decisions.

Professor Karen Reid and I just went through this design plan, and it is now posted on the MarkUs project blog.  Please check it out here.
