My Roles
1.User Testing
My responsibility with this role is to uncover any usability issues with the navigation and the core features of the app. With the use of testing tools I will be identifying various usability errors in the system and rectify them effortlessly. The User tests I will carry out will ensure that all crucial aspects of the application and will result in offering optimum user experience. I will be doing user testing by having continuous contact with external collaborators to improve the user and usability of the application.
2.UI/UX Design
As a UI/UX developer I design prototypes of our User Interface to give a visualisation of the finished application. The interactive prototype designed by me then get applied to the frontend of SIDELINE. With adequate user testing I can change the UI design based on user feedback.
Introduction
Hey ! My name is Tomi Akingba and I am a final year student in the BSc software development in computing course. This page is my landing page for my final year project in collaborative project. I have been involved in the creation of a mobile application with 3 other fourth year students, and together we are called Team HRZN. The application I developed with my teammates is called SIDELINE. A further description to this can be found in the project description section. My contribution to this work will be displayed across all my Mahara pages attached to this portfolio.
Project Description
WHAT IS SIDELINE ?
"SIDELINE" is an efficient communications application between coaches and players tailored for soccer/football.
The reasoning behind wanting to create this application was to tackle a common problem for sports teams. The main problem is the lack of efficiency in relation to sports teams using apps such as WhatsApp to communicate with each other. From conducting surveys to hear responses from coaches and players, we found this problem to be considered true.
With the information gathered from the survey apps such as WhatsApp can be difficult to use. Important information being sent out from the coach to the players may not reach all the players. The coach may ask their players multiple questions and receive multiple answers and it becomes hard to get track of vital information. A player might receive too many messages in a WhatsApp group chat and could potentially miss out on information that is of high relevance to them.
My team HRZN plan to tackle this issue by creating an application that maximizes the efficiency of communication between players and coaches in one application. The app will have 1 on 1 chat systems, 1 to many chat systems, event management system and a social feed. These features will be tested thoroughly and hopefully this will increase the efficiency of communication between players and coaches.
WHO IS SIDELINE AIMED FOR ?
This application will be aimed as local/ National football teams in Ireland from players over the age of 16. SIDELINE will allow efficient communication between a manager and a player for this user group. If successful, we hope to branch SIDELINE for all sports, to allow efficient communication between every sport necessary.
