26. The Development Process The Project Scope

27. Virtual Learning Platform Important considerations: -Design that will represent the physical space of the JBFC’s Theater and Media Arts Lab. The “look and feel” will be reminiscent of the actual place. -An interface that needs to reach a huge age range of users. -Less conventional learning outcomes. -Finding a developer that has educational, as well as entertainment, experience.

56. Phase 1: Discovery Materials, curricula, and systems discovery In addition to understanding our users, we will also need to: do a deep-dive on the different types of teaching materials we have (and plan to have) look through current curricula to understand pedagogical approaches, and look into any current content management or production systems we have in place assess the media editing programs our students are using to understand what the online tools will need to be able to do

59. Phase 3b: User Experience Throughout the platform production, we will have a user experience team assessing the usability of the platform. This includes not only professional heuristic evaluation, but also in-person user experience research. The in-person user experience research can be conducted on-site with current JBFC members using mobile user experience equipment.

60. Phase 4a: Preparation for Launch Prior to the launch of the site, we will also work with to develop a long term analytics, consumer feedback, search engine optimization, and social media marketing strategy for this revolutionary new educational experience.

61. Phase 4b: Evaluation The hallmark of a great educational and collaborative platform is its ability to improve learning and increase engagement. We will be conducting two rounds of evaluation research to assess these outcomes: one shortly after launch of the pilot platform and one shortly after the full launch. The results of these evaluations will be used to make recommendations both for the platform and for curricular and pedagogical approaches. Pilot Evaluation This evaluation will be aimed at getting initial feedback as to the viability of the platform to: enhance collaboration, provide effective teaching and learning experiences, and engage current JBFC students and faculty This will be conducted with current JBFC members and faculty, within the closed beta pilot environment.
