Introduction
The College App is a tool to help students access the information and complete the college application process. It approaches the problem with the recognition that the task of applying to multiple colleges requires the applicant to seek out a lot of information, manage a complex process, and meet a series of requirements and deadlines. A starting assumption of this project is that not all students have the same access to the resources to help them work through this process.
To meet this need, the application provides three main functions. First it serves as a single location where college applicants can learn about the entire process. Second, provides a tool for searching for and selecting schools. Finally it provides a dashboard to help students manage the array of different information and deadlines required in the process.
This presentation will discuss the process that our team followed to create this application prototype including our methodology, our user community, our prototyping process, our discussion of future directions for this work.
