Displaying Academic Content on Screen

We need to display the academic lesson content on screen for ease of use and to allow a screen reader to read the information. Currently, this information is displayed as PDFs. The information will exist in a tabbed format, and no edits will be allowed at this time.


General Concept

Design

  • When an academic lesson is selected on the Learning Plan, the Lesson Plan section will no longer display the downloadable documents, but instead show 5 tabs:
    • Intro
    • Instruction
    • Practice
    • Assessment
    • Materials
  • The section the user is currently viewing (i.e. Intro) will be displayed in colored font and underlined to show that the user is currently on this tab.
  • Users will have the option to print each tab. Clicking print will open the existing PDF for that lesson.

Business Rules

  • All users with permission to view the learning plan will see this content
  • We will not allow any edits
  • By default, we will show Intro as selected & display the relevant content on the screen

Intro

Design

  • We will display bold green headings for:
    • Focus Question
    • Goal
    • Objectives
      • We will show numbered objectives below
  • We will display slightly smaller blue headings for:
    • Vocabulary
    • Variations
    • Beyond the Lesson
  • At the bottom of the screen, we will show Next, Instruction.
    • Clicking this will advance the user to the Instruction tab.

Business Rules

  • Users will not be able to make any edits

  • Materials will be listed as Download the INSERT NAME OF MATERIAL PDF
  • Clicking on a material will open the PDF of that material
