Research
For most of the quarter, we focused on learning about our audience - Transfer Students & UC Davis Admissions. After conducting interviews with counselors, transfer students, and prospective transfer students, we found that our main problems were:
Solution Building
Although we had proposed multiple solutions to ease transfer student transitions, I developed a proof-of-concept demo showcasing one key option—allowing students to test out of specific courses during demo day.
Ideation
Working through the design, I aimed to make it as simple as possible using design systems from popular learning management softwares while honoring design elements set in place by UC Davis.
Solution
For our final presentation, we had identified multiple pain points and had proposed multiple solutions to aid the transfer process. The following video showcases one solution involving a opt-out test feature.
We had also identified that getting a counseling appointment at large community college was difficult due to having to go through a referral process that could take days if not weeks to acquire. We sought to eliminate the process and reimagined the counseling booking process at Pasadena City College.
