KULENDAR
KULENDAR is a calendar portal where all events in our school along with class times, deadlines and exams can be seen. The main objective of the project is to enable our students to better plan and manage their time. The identified problems behind this projects are listed below:
Student Side:
- There are too many events in our school which makes it very hard to keep track.
- Only common ground for promoting events are through email, which leads to many people getting emails that do not relate to them, thus missing the events that they would like to attend
- Students cannot plan the events they would like to attend ahead of time.
- Students have a hard time keeping track of their deadlines for different courses.
School Administration and Student Clubs Side:
- Many departments do not have the prior data about student’s vacant times to better plan their events.
- Club activities department lose a lot of time sending club activities mails that can be easily automated
Progress:
- Connections with IT Department established
- Kick off meeting where use cases and MVP will be planned is set.
- Team recruiting efforts have begun.
We congratulate UIF 2020 Cohort: Pınar Dönmez, Ahmet Berk Tuzcu, İrem Nur Bulut, Mehmet Enes Erciyes!
