🚀The Big Idea
With attendance being a consistent problem within academia, I decided to create a blueprint for an attendance app. The researched covered the necessary hardware and software required to design this project.
🔬The Game Plan
Using ChatGPT to create a roadmap for this project provided valuable insights into the necessary steps. I also researched competitors to analyze their functionality and identify potential features. With this groundwork complete, I proceeded to discuss features with the client and begin the design process.
Planning.
During the planning phase, I used ChatGPT to develop a roadmap, helping to determine the necessary software and hardware for this project.
The client wanted access to information including class attendance, individual attendance, student contact details, engagement levels, and timetables.
Creating a wireframe helped with the placement of these features. The design's purpose is to provide staff with the ability to search for various student information.
In the first iteration, designing a user-friendly layout with the initial key features was essential. However, it became clear that feedback was needed for the design to evolve.
During discussions with staff and the client, it became clear that some important design choices had been overlooked. Staff requested the addition of a third absence category for 'Authorised Absence,' as well as 'Call Student' and 'Contact Staff' buttons. Another staff member suggested a duration tracker to visually display how long students remained in class. Additionally, there was a request to compare actual class attendance with expected attendance to identify correlations with public holidays.
Using insights from the feedback sessions, I implemented all the suggested improvements. Key additions included contact options for the 'Course Leader' and 'Personal Tutor.' I also designed a line graph to visualize attendance patterns and introduced legends to enhance the understanding of iconography.
With the second iteration complete, the client is satisfied with the product. They also suggested gathering input from more staff for future iterations.
The feedback from the staff was invaluable, allowing me to refine the design to meet their expectations. I look forward to applying the skills I gained from this project to future work.
