- The problem I have identified is the lack of accessibility to people that are enrolled in the same classes at the University of Florida. With the inability to contact other students for help, people are left to fend for themselves or rely solely on tutoring/faculty services. The fact that students are actively searching for new ways to prepare themselves for exams and properly complete their homework has created an opportunity. It is time to introduce an app that will connect classmates to one another via social media to exploit this opportunity.
- The product I hope to offer to students will be an app that will connect users to one another based on the classes each individual user is taking. Once students establish which classes they are currently enrolled in, they will be automatically connected to people who are enrolled in the specific classes they are taking for that semester. Students will have to update their profiles each semester with their new schedule and that is it. All they have to do is download the app and create a profile to get started. The app will automatically connect fellow classmates to one another, but it is the students' responsibility to actually reach out to their classmates. The app's users will post their contact information on their home pages.

I like this idea, like I stated last week, I think it is great for students. I have a question about notifications. I work all day, from 7am to 4pm while most people are in school. Will my phone be notifying me all day about questions or help? I also live in a different time zone. Will that kind of thing be factored into the app set up. Other than those questions I am ready to sign up :)
ReplyDeleteBradley,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good idea, but there are many classes at UF that use the people feature in canvas which allows you to at least see who else is in your section of the course. I do think that it would be useful to easily contact one another, because Canvas does lack this information unless they have built a Bio. I definitely think that an opportunity exists, but It may be smart to expand the purpose of the app to include creating optional study groups or group chats within the app.
