Abstract

Reportedly, in the times of AI and disruptive technologies the sustained usage of faculty-made lesson materials by students were adversely being affected. Thereby, impairing the digital learning with Learning Management System (LMS), meant to enrich educational activities, especially in traditional spaces. To address a similar scenario in author’s institution, a design for six sigma using DMADV methodology was initiated along with academic leadership team across various verticals of media, design, pharmacy, allied health, business & management, hospitality & tourism, and computing & analytics with a target to increase the effective usage of lesson materials from sub-optimal (below 25%) to above-optimal level (above 55%) within the period of 3 months of project implementation across the institution. The financial motivation of institution has been the maximization of return on investment on digital infrastructure, minimization of student backlogs and year lags that majorly would lead to dropouts. On the other, improvement in intake quality over the competition based on higher quality of learning outcomes. This paper elucidates the structured view of the project in form of a charter, voice of stakeholders, SIPOC, prioritization, CTQ specification table, sampling of students, faculty and alumni, root cause analysis, Kano modelling, statistical tests and validation of the new design by way of repurposing Bloom’s Taxonomy with 10 human-human potential tracks of engagement, each mapped with higher-order thinking triplet verbs for best-fit lesson materials of value, negating rework and waste.
