Data Analisys

Learners

A fundamental requirement was to seamlessly integrate student choice into assignments while providing comprehensive guidance through each available option. Recognizing that a significant number of students engage with their tasks remotely from home, the challenge was heightened by the fact that some students exhibit a reluctance to employ hands-on mediums, while others possess minimal to no experience with technology. Although previous tasks indicated that students generally demonstrated minimal barriers to using new technology, the overarching goal was to empower students to independently explore and delve into the subject matter, fostering in-depth understanding in tandem with experimentation with new mediums and digital tools.
