Optimizing the Learning Environment in the I3T Tool for Different User Types
This thesis explores ways to improve the Interactive Tool for Teaching Transformations (I3T), an educational application used for teaching 3D transformations. The focus is on enhancing its tutorials, manual, classroom integration, and user onboarding to better support students, teachers, and other user groups. The work includes an analysis of the tool, definition of typical user roles, design of new teaching materials, and evaluation through classroom use. As part of this work, the manual was restructured and tested in real classroom settings with over 80 students. During the evaluation, 83 % of students rated the tutorials as easy to understand but pointed out lack of theoretical integration and missing verification/feedback mechanisms. Over 90 % reported improved comprehension of transformation concepts. Feedback helped identify areas for improvement and guided the redesign of learning materials and user interface components. Based on the findings, a new tutorial was created and the welcome window was redesigned. The thesis also outlines suggestions for future development, such as tutorial progress tracking and better support for teaching workflows.
