OCADU (Ontario College of Arts and Design University)'s Course Selection Web Portal
Overview
Recognizing the lack of course guidance at OCADU within the registration system. This leads to students feeling less confident and unable to adequately plan for their future career. As a student who struggled with figuring their interests, I felt the urge to create a new concept for planning courses for students that is more digestible.
Results: Quantifiable research that proves there is a problem to stakeholders, a newly designed web portal to better serve students. Currently in discussion of implementation.
