CorpusKey
Project Overview
Background: CorpusKey is a set of AI tools that assists instructors in creating and managing course materials. It leverages large language models (LLMs) to produce personalized educational content, such as textbooks, slide decks, test banks, and live cases.
Objective: Develop a front-end for the new AI feature that assists instructors in grading short-answer assignments and generating personalized feedback. Additionally, incorporate an image upload feature within its content generation process.
Skills: Usability Testing, User Flow, Iterative Prototyping
Contributions: Worked in Team A, Comparative Analysis, Heuristic Evaluation, Cognitive Walkthrough, Usability Testing, Ideation, and ow-high fidelity prototypes.
Goals
Implementation of Grading UI:
1. Design an intuitive front-end UI for grading features
2. Identify essential interface elements and create optimal layouts that minimizes errors
Image Repository Integration:
1. Create a seamless, user-friendly UI, focusing on utilizing user intuition
Teams
Due to the scope of the project and the two different issues we needed to focus on, we decided to split our main group into 2 subteams.
Team A: Focused on Image Repository feature and enhancing user flow of the content creation for instructors
Team B: Focused on creating the UI of the Grading System, identifying essential features and creating a user flow on how instructors grade the assignments

Final Designs
Final Repository
For our repository page, it is similar to other platforms with the same purpose, which makes it more intuitive and easier for the user to understand what to do. We made sure to include tool tips with the onboarding pop ups on this and all following pages.
Final Outline
The outline page is the basis on how CorpusKey generates the material so ensuring that users understand what is needed and how to fill out this page is essential, leading us to adding tool tips explaining how each section works. We also made sure there was an easy way to add the images uploaded to the repository.
Final Results
In the new material generation page, we added ways to select multiple outlines to generate on the left, and a way to see the generated content on the right. To allow the user to stay informed on the completion status of the different content being generated, we added different ways of checking it at the bottom left of the page and by clicking on the icon in the top right corner.
Final Upload Student Files
Uploading student files follows the same format as uploading material to the repository, making the website more consistent in style.
Final Grading Criteria
The Grading Criteria page is meant for the instructor to be able to grade based on an answer key or a generated question bank from the content. They can view the content they've generated on CorpusKey and select which specific material they wish the grading system to use.
Final Responses
The Responses page allows the instructor to see open-ended responses and the feedback generated by CorpusKey. The instructor can filter the responses based on a specific student or per question. This page also allows the instructor to edit the feedback generated by CorpusKey. Following this, they can export the feedback in different formats.
Personal Reflection
This project allowed me to apply a lot of the knowledge I gained in the previous semester. I was also able to slowly understand more about the different UX disciplines and start considering which ones I would like to pursue and explore more in future projects.
