Workflow for AI generated Student Note

Key UX/UI Improvements

Before

Current Salesforce Student Note feature presents several usability limitations due to its outdated design and manual input requirements.

  • The existing “Create Note” interface lacks modern, intuitive design elements, which negatively impacts user engagement and efficiency.

  • Faculty manually record notes, causing inefficiency and more admin work, reducing teaching time.

  • Key requirements include redesigning the note-taking interface to a cleaner and more user-friendly layout to enhance usability.

  1. Manual Notes

After

  • Faculty currently record student notes manually after each session, leading to inefficiencies and decreased productivity.

  • Automating the note-taking process can streamline documentation, reducing the time faculty spend on administrative tasks.

  • Automation can lessen faculty workload, allowing them to focus more on teaching and student engagement.

  • Improved accuracy in records can be achieved by minimizing human errors associated with manual note entry.

Before

  • Problem: The manual process of taking notes by faculty members is highly time-consuming and inefficient, leading to a significant drain on productivity.

2. Auto-generated Note

After

  • Improved UX/UI

  • Transitioning into a new portal outside the Salesforce called “Learner 360“

  • Call summary is auto-generated based on the call transcript

  • Using Call transcript - we are able to pull the specific data for Call summary fields.

  • Faculty approves the AI generated note & the note is successfully created.

Before

3. Note History

  1. No search: Users can’t quickly find notes by student or topic.

  2. No editing: Saved notes can’t be corrected or updated.

  3. No filtering: Notes can’t be sorted or narrowed by course, date, interaction type, or author.

After

• Search: Added a search feature to easily find notes by subject, topic, or keyword.

• Enhanced Notes List: A cleaner, more organized way to browse past interactions.

• Customizable Columns: Choose which details to display, like date or subject line.

• Advanced Filters: Easily filter notes by date, type, student, or creator.

• Editable Notes: Update notes anytime to correct or add info.

4. Advanced Feature - Notes Assistant

Before

  • Current Search Limitation: Faculty rely on basic browser search to navigate through past notes.

  • No Built-in Search in Salesforce: Users don’t have a direct way to search within Salesforce for specific notes or data.

After

  • New Way to Search via AI: Faculty preparing for a student check-in can now easily review past notes.

  • Now, instead of digging through the Note History, you can quickly search using the new Notes Assistant feature.
