Learning Activities HCI | LEARNING ACTIVITY 1 and 2

I. Project Overview
Tardiness, absences, and low grades. These are some results of
students who are disinterested in lessons and in going to school.
Distraction such as gadgets, relationships, bad study and waking
habits; and added by tons of papers as stressful reading materials;
these are the common problems and struggles of these students. And
the result of these problems is problems for teachers. Following up
their complication such as missing outputs, projects, and
requirements is stressful for them if they were done manually.

Today’s generation of learners focuses more on digital

tools. And so, the proponents came up with a solution to improve
learning experience.

“iSTUDIES” is a software app intended for learning and

organizing student's daily school activities like alarms and daily
schedule, reminders, note takings, reading computer generated notes
like PDF and word document files, and even an online forum for
group projects and activities. It can also serve as a student’s ID
and bio data where their current data such as their ID picture,
year level and council, name of adviser, section, course you've
chosen, contact info for emergency and other school related
information that can be accessed by your teachers and fellow
schoolmates. Teachers may use the app for distributing notes,
reminding students to cope up with their requirements and use it as
their attendance and grading sheet for monitoring each student’s
performance.

The beneficiary of this project are, of course, the teachers,

which will be having a convenient way of working; students, this
will also enhance their learning experience; and also for parents,
to see that their children make use of today’s technology for
learning.

Once this app is released, the expected outcome would be the

better performance coming from both teachers and students, and with
today’s competition in terms of technology, the proponents aim to
give name to the school nationally and globally for developing an
app that is both convenient for learning.

II. Design and Methodology

The app is both accessible by teachers and students. It has

two friendly UI (user interface), one for teachers, and one for
students.
Once you install and open the app in your smart devices, you
will see a log in and sign up screen. Pressing the log in button
will bring you to the log in section where you will enter your
username and password to open your account, but if you press the
sign up button, it will display the sign up form where it will ask
you for your full name, age, sex, birthday, school name, email
address (you can use Gmail, yahoo, or outlook mail), and an account
username and password. Read and accept the terms and conditions.

Once you’re finished, tap “Next” and an option screen will be

displayed where you can choose if you are a “Teacher” or a
“Student.” If you choose “Student”, it will open the app where you
put your data (real data is required to avoid misconception and
because it will be a onetime fill up data) such as profile picture
(ID pictures are recommended), full name, age, sex, section or
strand, name of adviser, year level and council (the theme of the
app differ depends on what year level or council you enter), year
enrolled, class schedule and subject teachers. This serves as your
home screen. There are other tabs which has specific functions like
the “Tools” tab, where you can use to set alarms, reminders, and
for note taking and reading. Another tab is the “Social” tab where
you can interact with either teachers or fellow students through

chat, post notes, pointers, and discuss about school matters. The
notification tab is for seeing your classmates’ and teachers’
recent activities. The “Settings” tab is where you can modify some
features like notification sounds and font style. And here you can
see the “moved up” settings where you can modify your data once you
move to a higher year level. The last tab is the “Help” tab where
you can see the “contact developer” and can ask for help, and
report any issue you encounter.

But if you choose the teacher, it will display a similar

screen but slightly different. Like the “year level” is changed
into “department”, the “name of adviser” is changed into “advisory
class”, and some other data. In the tools tab, the “note taking and
reading” is modified into “lesson plan”, and addition tool like
“class record” and “attendance sheets” is present. And in the
settings tab the “move up” menu is changed into “modify”.
