Education projects

Name: Melbourne Graduate School of Education
Project: Proof of Concept website
Status: Complete, January 2022

The aim of the project was the development of a Proof of Concept (PoC) website/portal for the Melbourne Graduate School of Education’s Mathematics Assessment In Number (MAiN) Assessment Tools project.

The Client obtained a grant to run a pilot/PoC project to develop a standalone web-based platform which will enable teachers to provide one-on-one testing of students, in order to ascertain their level of learning against the curriculum. The academic research that informed the logic behind the choice of questions and their weighting was completed prior to commencement of this project.

A PoC typically involves a small-scale visualisation exercise to demonstrate and verify the potential real-life application of an idea. It is not the full delivery of the concept, but a demonstration of feasibility.

This site was designed to be "used" by 3 user levels (student, teacher and coordinator) each having access to different pages and menu options, and simulated results pages for relevant user levels. It included 3 multi-page forms and a teaching resources section which utilised the academic research. The overall target audience was decision makers who will decide on the feasibility of the tool.

The last stage of the project was development of a Technical Recommendations document, which outlines learnings from the Proof of Concept project and includes information and recommendations relevant to future development of an enterprise scale system.

Below are some extra screenshots of some of the pages.
