Feature list + required data

The use cases I designed were created from a basic set of features, which I forgot to add on the blog.. So here they are, together with a short description and a set of required data from Toledo:

Schedule:
Students can check their schedule and click on a link to a map which points out the right building. (Maybe even the right room/aula?)
REQ: the courses a students is following. (the schedule per course can be found online)

Announcements:
A feed of all the announcements that concern a certain student. This includes general KULeuven announcements and course-specific announcements.
REQ: announcements feeds.

Contact:
This feature presents a structured list of all the persons or services he or she may want to contact. This includes general KULeuven contacts, department staff, courses contacts, fellow study buddies, emergency numbers, ..
Creating this feature, we will have to try to keep a safe balance between student enabling and staff privacy.
REQ: most of these contacts are publicly available, maybe just the courses contacts are not.

Courses:
The student can check the schedule, announcements and contact info from an individual course. We can maybe later add some other features here like assignments, discussion board, etc.
REQ: nothing more than the reqs for the above features.

Exams:
Students can check where and when they will have exams.
REQ: exam moments data.

Campus Map:
A campus map which all the relevant buildings indicated. An option for this is the OpenStreetMap project.
REQ: none more than the above.



To conclude, I will add a summarized list of the data I would like to have, if possible, access to from the app. After a secure login off course.
- The courses a student is following.
- Announcements feeds of courses
- General KULeuven/department feeds.
- Courses contacts. (mail, office location, phone?)
- Exam moments.

1 opmerking:

  1. If you are able to access/use the data from the KULoket, you maybe could use the My Student Schedule ("Mijn uurrooster") section to get the needed information about the student's schedule? It includes all courses, and exercise sessions of the courses the user is taking. And has the location information as well.

    While on the topic of KULoket, in case you could access the data it provides (and if you're still looking for suggestions); maybe add the possibility to lookup the reservations of (pc)rooms and auditoria? This could be very useful if students are looking for a free spot to work in. (Available under "Algemeen => Lokalen en bezetting" in KULoket).
