Hello everyone, I’d like to take a moment to share and clarify some details regarding the O3 User Onboarding project of GSoC 2024, along with some tips for crafting your project proposal.
This project is focused on creating a step-by-step user onboarding process for the new users of OpenMRS, essentially functioning as a tutorial mode or product tour system. So when a new user logs into O3, or when a user navigates to a page that has not been visited previously, it should trigger an interactive guide that will take the user through the features of that specific module/page and introduce those.
For this, we can use things like tooltips, highlighted areas, pop-ups containing text/images/short videos, hotspots, progress indicators, and more. For a better user experience, we can add functionalities like displaying the number of remaining steps, granting users the option to skip the onboarding processes or individual steps, and enabling them to retrigger the tutorials as needed.
You have complete freedom to suggest your approach to implementation, including the libraries and technologies required for your solution. But, it should be implementable on any O3 module and should be easily extendable to all O3 modules.
For the project proposal, we recommend including a small demo with a sample implementation using a selected O3 module (or any other method). Additionally, you can choose an O3 module and outline specific steps that could be highlighted during the onboarding tutorial.
We have already created some designs for the O3 User onboarding process, which can be found here: O3 Zeplin Designs (Refer to the “Tasks – Onboarding” section). You can gain some ideas from these designs. (You can find the Zeplin login credentials here)
Furthermore, we are planning a Zoom session to address any questions you may have about this project. Please join the session prepared with your questions to clarify any doubts. The session is scheduled for 2024-03-18T13:00:00Z. The Zoom link will be shared with you shortly. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Note: The above-mentioned session is dedicated for answering questions related to the O3 User Onboarding project. There will be similar sessions for other projects as well.
