7. EPE Release 2 IOC Review August 7, 2012 Release 2 Product Specification Theme Release 2 provides an Educational Services Framework, a suite of tools demonstrating preliminary end-to-end functionality and interface design of the educational infrastructure. It targets early-adopters in the undergraduate education community, and provides a design basis for soliciting user feedback. Objectives Prototype four tools for education developers Utilize needs assessment results to refine their design Conduct usability tests with prospective users to validate design approach. Target Audience Early adopters in the undergraduate educator community –diverse range of educational institutions (i.e. community colleges, research universities) –and implementation environments (ranging from introductory courses to senior level lab courses) 6 https://confluence.oceanobservatories.org/display/EPEDev/EPE+R2+Product+Specification
