The new way of approaching the university for the student

1

The purpose of this project is to redesign the current secretary of the university online Milano-Bicocca, to help the students creating a pla-tform that tracks its history, everything he does during the academic years, from the start until the end of their studies, and gives the oppor-tunity for greater interaction and communication with other students, teachers and university instructors.

It’s been adopted an innovative platform, developed by DISCO with Ce-friel in which the user can perform all the functions of a service and do all the social interactions (peer to peer and social) useful for the servi-ce itself.

From the moment the student starts the University begins its story that will be characteri-zed by various stories and events. They can be bureaucratic events and properly related to personal events

To perform its mission the secretary will have two main functions:

Bureaucratic capability

Social Functionality

The student will have control of all these events by implementing a timeline that lists all the events available in time.

With this project I have tried to create a single platform that will include all the digital systems that the University already provides, and that focuses on the student and everything they need to live fully in the academic years...
