Stakeholders

I didn’t just want random feedback, I was looking for honest, meaningful input. That’s why I intentionally chose three educators I trust & value to test my design. Each of them knows our students well & understands their needs, especially those who might struggle with technology or require extra support. I selected a special education paraprofessional, a former third-grade teacher now in second, and a current third-grade teacher.

Usability Testing Plan

Each participant was asked to:

  • Navigate the Start Here section, including the welcome video and initial assignments
  • Complete key tasks from Module 1 and Module 2, including the place value escape room, slide decks, and Nearpod activities
  • Provide feedback using a Google Form designed to evaluate navigation, clarity, accessibility, and engagement

Testing Process

Each participant spent approximately 30–45 minutes navigating and providing feedback.  Since screen recording was optional, most submitted written responses and detailed comments through the form. Their feedback offered thoughtful and valuable insight into both the student experience and how to make the course more accessible for diverse learners.

Resources I added to my LMS

"I liked the balance between structure and flexibility. It gave students choice without overwhelming them. We need more of this in digital learning. The layout is clean, the tone is warm and engaging. I would use this in my classroom tomorrow." 

B. Hardman 

Third Grade Teacher 

""As a paraprofessional in a resource classroom, I really appreciated how thoughtful this course is. Most third graders could complete it with minimal support, but some of our students may need help with navigation or multi-step directions. With a few UDL tweaks, this course will be even stronger for diverse learners." 

M. Berry 

Special Education Paraprofessional

"You really nailed it. Place value can be tough for kids, but the way you built this course made it feel manageable and even fun. Everything felt natural to follow, and I could tell you were thinking like a student as you designed it."
