Initial Requirements Gathering with Current Students The first design of the new Dashboard was delivered to admission applicants.Ĭoming off of an intense first-phase lifecycle in early 2019, we began gathering requirements for the second phase, current student access. In September 2019, we conducted a survey with the next crop of first-year students to gain feedback on how their admission process went with the Dashboard. Most all users found it helpful to varying degrees.The new application was released into production in December 2018.A month later, first-year students tested an interactive prototype.We designed the interface and conducted in-person surveys for feedback in October.We were pleasantly surprised when students said our old system was still better than most other law schools. We spoke to first-year students a few weeks after school started about their experiences with the old Status Page and how it compared to other schools to which they were admitted.Since admitted students needed the new application delivered first, we began work in August 2018 before the bulk of the admission cycle. A direct communication tool which allows the law school to share highly important items with studentsĪ fairly daunting application to research and build, the Dashboard project was divided into two phases:.A bridge to ease the transition from “admitted” students to “current” students.Individualized content catered toward each student’s experience.One central location for students to find important and frequently sought information.Left: Card sorting into buckets | Right: Ideation workshop activity Problems solved with the Dashboard We called this new application the Dashboard. We realized that organizing this content into an application, one which could also serve as a new Status Page, would meet both needs. Bringing Past Research to Lifeįrom previous research with current students, we knew that they also wanted a comprehensive resource that combined course information, academic deadlines, events, and more.

The old Status Page code needed an overhaul and updated look.
Our team realized this was a valuable opportunity to bridge the admitted student experience with the current student experience. We learned that they were frustrated, because once their status changed from “admitted” to “current” students, they could no longer access their class schedules on the Status Page. Our team spoke with first-year students to better understand their needs for an updated Status Page. Since the early 2000’s, students admitted to Texas Law have had access to an internal Status Page where they could view their admission status, missing paperwork, and ultimately their class schedule.
