Ad-hoc persona with scenario narrative.Reflect on ad-hoc pre-work. The goals of the ad-hoc pre-work were to (1) develop and pilot ourpersona/scenario development processes and to (2) reflect on our assumptions and potentialbiases about STEM students before constructing the data driven usage model. In reviewing ourad-hoc personas and scenarios, our obvious bias toward engineering students was evident.

On the other hand, students gained substantially simply by taking the class, so the benefitsof the app on its own are not clear.Another direction for further research should focus on additional development of the app.Possibilities include adaptive presentation of lessons based on student progress, further use ofgamification to enhance motivation and engagement, and building assessment into the app itself.References[1] S.

Asking similar-typequestions before and after graded events that are more specific to confidence and preparednesswould also provide a beneficial perspective.
