This project presents the high-fidelity prototypes of a smart digital personal assistant for university students in the form of a mobile app, using a combination of User-Centered Interaction Design and Design Thinking methodologies. The end goal is to have an effective and user-friendly set of interfaces that display the right amount of information to the user without missing key details while not showing too much information such that the user becomes overwhelmed. The target audience benefitting from this work are university students who are reactive in nature and do not possess the required perseverance to complete the tedious initial setting up process of a Time Management Tool (TMT). The study was conducted involving university students using surveys, interviews and focus groups. This sheds light on key time management issues faced by university students and paves the way for future research and development of TMTs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
