CONTEXT

Redesigning UWaterloo's student mobile system

PROBLEMS

Overwhelming home screen

Poor hierarchy, doesn't prioritize key imformation.

Unnecessary features

Weather, Instagram post, and nearby food add little value. Specially for the home screen.

Student calender

Only shows through a list view.

KEY INSIGHT 01

Home screen hierarchy
Home page serves little purpose to the everyday user.

KEY INSIGHT 02

Visual representation of schedule
From list view -> To calendar view

SOLUTIONS

Reworked calender view
Interactive calendar with a full weekly view
Todo list for schoolwork
Current UI
Shows classes, but not related to assignments or deadlines.

New UI
  • Clearly displays due dates

  • Shows how much work is due per class and time period
  • Highlights the class type (lecture, lab, tutorial)

Campus events Redesign
Improved clarity and readability in how events are presented.
