User Data We talked to 18 algebra/geometry teachers who use CL’s Cognitive Tutor and/or prepare their students for the PSSA • Email questionnaires [5] • Interviews in their classrooms/offices/schools [5] • Think Alouds at CL-sponsored conference [10] • Background questionnaires captured PSSA prep • Card-sorting task on CL algebra and geometry skills • Prototype walkthrough on our 5 designs
Feedback on Prototype Assistments data is not currently something teachers would know how to use. "I would go back and teach the part again“ (U14, U22) "I would assign more worksheets" (U20) Practical Needs “What should I address next” (U14, U15) Teachers’ sense of standards is more concrete than skills “Have I covered all the standards” “Where in the standards are they stuck” (U15, U20)
Feedback on Prototype Individual Questions give teachers concrete idea on where the students struggle “Like most missed question displayed” (U14, U20) Good visual presentation important for good testing results “this has stuff all over the place” (U15) “What does performance mean? Does higher number mean good or bad?” (U14, U15, U20)

Design Requirement Doc • Evaluation of designs • Formation of designs • Support future design for client (support our designs)
A New Design • Most importantly: How many of my students will pass? • Different tabs show further details: • Performance on state standards • Prioritized list of skills needing improvement • Progress • Questions the class missed the most • Could be extended with: • Comparison between classes • Skill-Standard relation • Remedies
