Executive+Summary

 


 * Executive Summary**

Through interpreting and analyzing the surveyed data, I believed that indeed re-design this academic learning tool, can serve to be a greater asset among the students of U of T. Through a series of questions it was easy to determine which features of the application needed enhancing, and which features students would have wished to be incorporated into the site.

From the collected data, I determined that:

ü While many students were somewhat satisfied with the current design of Portal, they would have liked to see an upgraded in features of the site. Making it easier to access course documents and student grades ü Students need an easier navigation to other sites such as Webmail ü Users would like the option of customizing their own page on Portal ü Students regarded the maintenance of the site as a huge factor that hindered them from doing work. Students need Portal to be accessible to them to complete their work during specific times. Many of them want quicker maintenance times, notifications of these times and perhaps a fixed period within the week to the maintenance to occur ü Students usually like to access their work quickly, however at times portal can take some time to load.

With these issues, I have taken it upon myself to attempt to redesign Portal to meet the specific requirements of these students. Making a new and improved learning site, in which students can access course materials faster and as well organize their files to meet their unique study habits.
