We’re back at it! This fall we’ve been back out field testing…this time with our digital tools.
All digital components are available via the teacher and student portals. These tools include various types of calculators; videos; personal inventories related to attitudes, values, and risk disposition; and the heart of the program--the financial well-being map.
Just as with the print materials, we’re conducting a thorough field test of the digital materials. Currently over 31 teachers and 1,300 students in 7 states are testing out the tools. We collect initial feedback on each tool via surveys. Based on this feedback, we propose ideas for improving each tool during feedback webinars with our digital field test teachers. We take this information back to our digital team and work together to make improvements.
The digital team is busy ensuring the functionality for every school. As you can imagine, with numerous devices it can be a challenge. We are now in the process of enhancing the look and design of each tool to increase user-friendliness. We’re excited to roll out the new look for each tool over the next few months.
Many thanks to our field test teachers and students. We always enjoy talking with you and looking for ways we can continue to improve the materials. We truly value your feedback – you’ve really helped us make this program better.
