This project presents a user-centered redesign of the University of Twente Canvas dashboard, aimed at improving how students access and manage their academic information. Based on insights from a survey of students, key usability issues were identified and translated into design requirements. These were implemented in an interactive mockup and evaluated through user interviews, resulting in a dashboard that enhances clarity, prioritisation of deadlines, and overall usability compared to the current system.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
