The OWI Community believes that the user experience is at the core of every successful - or unsuccessful - online learning experience, whether those online experiences happen in the context of fully online, face-to-face, or hybrid/blended classes. The Narratives Project is designed to help us better understand the breadth and variety of the online user experiences as expressed by those very users, students and instructors alike.
In the informal interviews collected below we have asked students and faculty about their experiences using various digital tools, like the discussion board, for example.
It is our hope that as we gather more of these narratives, we can better understand what the user experience is actually like. And this knowledge will empower all of us to be more thoughtful and intentional course designers and teachers.
Ultimately, understanding the connections between the user experience and effective online writing instruction is fundamental to student success, to teacher satisfaction, and to inclusive and accessible online teaching and learning.
