Final Project Brainstorming
31 Oct 2023
Created By: Kobe Uyeda, and Tatum Umiamaka
Identify the Problem / Use Case
Currently their are many different platforms that currently exist for communication between professor and students. Our goal is to simply this all down into one platform. For messaging they have the ability to use email, discord, and laulima announcements. Their are many benefits to using certain platforms for certain situations, but its hard to navigate and keeping track of all these different communication platforms. For laulima we are not always notified of certain announcements through email, and not everyone checks laulima. For discord not everyone when they start school has created a discord account, and it requires students to receive an email to be invited to the channel the professor created. Finally while email is good it is hard to keep track of all the announcements that come in through.
The Solution
Our solution is to create a communication platform designed for the school it would implement the schools sign in system making it possible for students to get access once they register for the school year. We also plan on making it connected up to star so once the student is registered for the year they are already registered into that channel for communication. To help bring a sense of community we also plan on making it possible for students to create channels for clubs and other announcements they might have.
