In just three months, we were able to take this project from greenfield to finished product. After an extensive product field analysis, we worked out the visions and requirements for the product together with our customers in a one-day kick-off workshop. The exact user groups were determined and use cases defined. From these, we were then able to derive app features that we implemented in the Progressive Web App in the following three months. A user experience test was then conducted, in which students were surveyed after using the app for the first time. Their feedback was then implemented in the final version. In addition to the focus on the user experience, we were keen to find a user-friendly content management system (CMS) for the editorial content maintenance and a catchy visual language based on the existing corporate identity (CI) of the university.
The development of the app was supported by funds from the Ministry of Education and Research as part of the project successful teaching and learning (PerLe) and in cooperation with the central university library of the CAU.
The WebApp “Moin CAU” is available at moin.uni-kiel.de.
