TV411 is the companion website to the Emmy-award winning PBS television show of the same name. Like the show, the website was created as a teaching tool for undereducated adults interested in broadening their reading, writing, math and science skills. With an online presence established, TV411 was able to create a more interactive learning opportunity for its users.

 

Prior to calling on OpenSourcery, TV411 was experiencing a number of issues with their flash-based site. Our firm was hired for a complete redesign. Building on a preexisting module, we were able to expand the customization of their teaching tools while improving the site's overall performance. The new TV411.org allows users to take lessons or quizzes and track their progress, creating a seamless learning experience over any period of time.

 

Key Features:

  • Structured web lessons, activities, and games

  • Customizable questionnaires: Drag and drop, multiple choice, ordering, fill in the blank, open writing, and checklist

  • Educational video library

  • Downloadable lessons

  • Discussion forum

  • User profile with lesson history and user status

  • Social integration

  • Metrics using Google Analytics, Drupal, ShareThis, Vimeo and custom code to capture important data for educational program shaping

Community Contributions:

 

  • We made contributions to the ClosedQuestion Drupal module that have made it possible to add new types of questions.

  • We created a new ClosedQuestion Essay type module called Open Writing by TV411.

  • We contributed several bug fixes and other code patches to the Drupal community for the Bean, Media, and Mediafront modules.

From the very start of development, our goal was to create a site that exceeded expectations for TV411's established audience. It's never too late to get an education, and OpenSourcery was proud to have supported this project and its efforts. Moreover, we couldn't have asked for a better reception of the completed product. To our surprise, the new TV411 website was so user-friendly and informative that it actually expanded the organization's audience-base. Today, the site is not only being utilized by adults, but it is also being used by teachers and students in classrooms throughout the United States.
