<aside> 💡 Project Sumary Problem : Inefficient task assessment processes within Novatr lead to delayed feedback, slowing learner progress. Solution : Implementing systemic changes including notifications, an efficient feedback rubric, and a revamped UI resulted in an 80% reduction in assessment times, decreasing from 24 hours to 4 hours.
Project Timelines: July’23 - Aug ‘23 Stakeholders: Product Mangers, Product Designer, Dev (Front end, Back end), Course Development Team, Operations Team.
</aside>
Novatr creates professional courses for Architects and Civil Engineers, one of the major mode of education in these course is Assignment or Tasks, after a learner submits any of these tasks it needs a manual Review or Assessment. this evaluation is done by teaching assistant who goes by the title IG (Industry Guide).
Before this project IGs were usually taking 24 hours on an average to assess a task, which is quite slow as it impediments learning on a weekly basis.
Why Low TAT matters?
**
For Learners:**It allows learners to improve themselves more quickly and continue with their learning activities. Sooner is better.
**
For Users(IGs):**Their compensation is tied to the number of tasks they can complete within a given time frame. Lower TAT means they can handle multiple tasks in a day and increase their earnings.
For Business:Average TAT is a metric that we use to evaluate the performance and efficiency of IGs. A lower TAT indicates better performance.
How does a course look like?
Sample course timeline - BIM Professional Course for Architects (6 Months)
| Learning (~4 months) | Capstone (~2 months) | Career (~1 months) | | --- | --- | --- | | Live Sessions, Assignments, Quizzes etc. | Real world project | Placements | | 32 Live Sessions 30 Tasks | 0 Live Sessions 90 Tasks | 5 Live Sessions 0 Tasks |
A total of 120 Tasks learners have to do in a period of ~6 months, this includes submitting a file, sharing a cloud link etc.
Each task is created by a team of Lead Mentors and Course development team, which is then uploaded on the platform by Operation teams. After it gets uploaded it gets visible to learner and then they can submit the task to IG for assessment.
