College Connect: Design and Prototype of a Useable Mobile Application for Students to Assist them in their University Life

Abstract:

By using the technology, we have all of the services and options available, but it is not all on the same place, so it has become important for the students to get those services at one place to help them for the college. One of the issues that students face is the difficulty of communicating between students at various levels. Another issue is the difficulty of staying connected with what is happening inside the college of activities, workshops, and works that need volunteers.

Any university student wants to discover strategies that will make their college experience easier, whether they are social techniques, guiding methods, or educational approaches. The diversity of these methods often depends on the level and experiences of the student, so we conducted research in which we measured the problems that students face during their university stage, and we collected and understood most of the problems and tried to find solutions and methods that could contribute to solving the problem. These methods will contribute to improving students' engagement and performance in university while providing a secure  and private place for them. As a computer information system group of students, we have proposed a solution to this problem by creating a mobile application platform that will get all college students in touch by facilitating communication among all the students.
