INITIAL PROBLEM & PROBLEM STATEMENT
UConn students are struggling to keep their work organized due to online classes. Therefore, how might we improve the organization for Uconn Students who are struggling to keep their work organized due to online/hybrid classes? To solve this issue, we created a universal platform for Uconn Students based on naturalistic observational research as well as focus group and surveys.
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Surveys/Focus Groups
-
The majority have felt less organized in their online classes since the pandemic
-
Unclear if solely the pandemic causes all organizational problems
-
The majority is in favor of a universal platform that would help with organization
Naturalistic Observation
-
Lack of concentration, motivation, & communication = bad organizational habits
-
Use of other platforms for schoolwork not UConn affiliated
-
Missed assignments from lack of communication with unorganized professors
