Modular Forms and Comprehensive Feeds UI
General Design:
This design relies on two main principles:
...
- Each page for the daycare worker has only one functionality, making it easy to know where to go for what
- Selecting children and adding information for each child consists mostly of just searching for the child and inserting the necessary information
- The parents' site consists of just a Feed page where all updates appear in a timeline and an Analysis page where they can visualize the data
...
- The daycare workers cannot see how the parents get their information, so it delays learning about how their actions affect the parents' feeds.
- The parents might not know what is best to analyze in the Analysis section and thus the feature would be useless
...
- If there are relatively few children per daycare worker, the modularity of the pages makes it easier to customize information for each child
- All new information pops up to the top of the parents' feeds, so they can always get the most current updates
Disadvantages:
- No real options for daycare workers to update children's information in batches
- The parents have no way of organizing or filtering the parents' feeds, if there is too much information it would get cluttered quickly
- In logging the daily report information, the daycare workers need to go through all of the children multiple times (once per feature to enter)
- Going through and sending custom information child by child might take too much time if there are too many children
