Tutoring services play a crucial role in assisting students in comprehending challenging concepts and addressing problems encountered in their school subjects. This mobile application integrates video calling, planning, and professional tutors within a single platform, providing a comprehensive tutoring experience.
Many students struggle to understand difficult concepts and complete their school projects and assignments, necessitating the need for effective tutoring services. However, existing tutoring solutions often lack an integrated and comprehensive approach. The absence of a mobile application that combines video calling, planning, and professional tutors limits students' access to convenient and personalized support. Therefore, there is a need for a tutoring platform that seamlessly integrates these functionalities to provide students with a holistic and efficient learning experience.
MAZE, a mobile application, is the solution that transforms the tutoring experience by seamlessly integrating video calling, planning, and access to professional tutors. MAZE will provide students with a convenient and personalized learning environment. With seamless communication through video calls, students can actively participate in real-time interactive sessions, connecting them with experienced tutors who can effectively address their specific needs and challenges. Additionally, the mobile application will offer a planning feature, assisting students in organizing their assignment deadlines efficiently. By harmoniously combining these essential components, the solution aims to elevate students' comprehension of difficult concepts and empower them to excel in their school subjects.
The platform facilitates seamless video calling functionality, allowing users to connect and engage in real-time interactive video sessions with their preferred tutors.
The planning feature enables users to effectively organize assignment deadlines, providing them with the ability to manage their academic tasks efficiently.
MAZE combines access to professional tutors with the ability to monitor and track lesson progress.
After reflecting on the problem statement, I wanted to dive deeper into what I was solving so I began to ask myself a series of questions.
Afterward, a visual graph was created to outline the potential features of the mobile application, offering a clear visual representation of the prioritized features. This graph proved to be an invaluable reference for identifying focal points and strategizing future enhancements. It is important to note that not all of the features displayed on the visual graph will be incorporated into the current mobile application.
I looked at the information from the visual graph and sorted out the important features into different groups for easier understanding.
The selection and implementation of a grid system are fundamental aspects of interface design. In this project, I opted for the 6-point grid system due to its adaptability and suitability. Throughout the design process, I made a concerted effort to align all UI elements with the 6-point grid below, ensuring consistency and a cohesive visual layout.
Wireframing is an essential process in my project as it allows me to visualize and plan the layout and structure of the user interface. By creating wireframes, I am able to map out the placement of key elements, such as buttons, menus, and content sections, ensuring a clear and intuitive design. These wireframes serve as a blueprint for the development phase, providing a solid foundation for building an effective and user-friendly interface.
Upon completion of the wireframing process, I gained a clear vision of the final concept for the mobile application. Subsequently, I proceeded to implement various design elements, such as colors, icons, and other visual components, onto MAZE. These additions further enhanced the aesthetic appeal and user experience of the mobile application, aligning it with the intended design direction.
In this project, I had the opportunity to explore new UX techniques, such as affinity mapping and 6-column grids, which I hadn't used before. It was a bit challenging, but trying these new things helped me learn and improve my skills in UX.
