Usability & Reflection

Google Classroom performed consistently well on district-issued devices, and testers responded positively to the clear, streamlined organization of the course.

As part of the feedback process, I reorganized the original three modules into four clearly defined, topic-based modules to improve clarity and flow:

1. Introduction

2. TA DA List

3. Preparing Your Laptop

4. IFP, Phones & Support

This restructured format replaced the previous day-based layout, making navigation more intuitive and helping learners easily identify where to begin and what to complete. I also created a dedicated TA DA List to clearly outline required tasks and ensure all onboarding activities were explicitly communicated.

The improvements resonated with users—one teacher shared the course with a campus administrator, who was impressed with the design and usability. As a result, she allocated dedicated time during the first six days of campus professional development for teachers to work through the modules collaboratively as a team.
