degreeworks
While DegreeWorks has become an essential tool for every college student and their advisors, it lacks a centralized platform for college students to find course information. Moreover, the entire process of degree auditing, course-finding and registering has become a disconnected process in current software offerings.

Key Findings
To carefully create a user-centered design to foster interpersonal interactions or relationships between the elderly citizens and the youth, a survey was deployed to 7 participants via email and social media outlets. The following data is represented by a sample of these participants.
Scattered resources
Most of this difficulty stems from the scattered nature of available resources.
Indicated previous difficulty
Students either have continued poor experiences with the course preparation process, or have indicated previous difficulty.
No information
Participants indicated that the information they are looking for is either hard to find, or not present at all.
Information Architecture
Previously a scattered process, with different actions taking place on separate websites. Navigational System: Structure of proposed DegreeWorks, anticipating merger of Classfinder and Banner 9 Web.
Low Fidelity
Low fidelity mockups allowed for planning of the buttons and spacing within the entire design ecosystem.
High Fidelity
High fidelity mockups were completed after feedback from course classmates and usability testing on the developments of the low-fidelity mockups.
