Edutory

• 

  This is when you first come to the website

• 

  This is where the user would create an account

• 

  This is where the user creates their profile, name, major, university currently attending.

• 

  This is the homepage when the user has finally created their account.

• 

  When the user selects "Connect with Alumni," it shows a list of all alumni and the user can filter accordingly.

• 

  When the user selects "Check Professor Ratings," it shows a list of all professors at the user's university.

• 

  This is an example of how reviews would work.

• 

  This shows the user's classes and they can select from class they want contact their professor or classmates.

• 

  This is an example of the messages page for say, MKT 1000.

Inspiration

What inspired us to created Edutory was that with everything being remote, you constantly have to switch between websites and apps. For example, for connecting with alumni, you have to search through LinkedIn, for contacting your classmates, you have to find their email address or get ahold of them during class on Zoom, or sometimes, you have to send multiple emails to a professor before getting a reply. Oh, and when looking for professor ratings, there is no way to ensure integrity as anyone can write reviews. Edutory combines all of these aspects and makes it so you only need one website rather than ten different websites as well as ensuring integrity of reviews.

How we built it

We built the website using Canva. We were going to use HTML/CSS and JavaScript but due to time constraints, we ended up using Canva.

Challenges we ran into

When we were coding our project, we ran into the issue of connecting Firebase and our website so it would store the user's profile information. Due to this issue, we had to use Canva at the last minute.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to create a mockup of a website within a day! Also, learning about UI/UX design! :D

What we learned

We learned about UI/UX design and how important it is to create a user-friendly website.

What's next for Edutory

If we had the time, we would definitely code out all of our pages rather than using Canva and have it so that the user’s profile is saved in our database so that they can easily log back in. Also, we would love to create another section where the user can search for classes offered at their university and read a description about these classes since universities don’t offer a way to read about a class beforehand. Also, we would definitely create the different homepages based on who’s logged in and finally, we would also add a verification system that would allow us to verify if you’re a student or a professor when signing up to keep the integrity of the reviews.
