Final Project Phase 1& 2

A short summary of our Project Proposal:

Our Proposal : To build a personal Knowledge management system aimed for students at a higher learning institute.

Our Target user: Students.

What do they do: In Plain terms, they want to achieve. Nobody would spend all the trouble to go through the formal education system without a high sense of goal setting and achievement seeking. Although the original intention of higher education is for Knowledge development and enrichment, the attractiveness of having prestigious qualifications for the purpose of career development outweighs any other objectives. Even if that sometimes involves bending some rules and work around with the system or play with the system.

How does it matter? In order to achieve, the students will utilize all tools available to help them attain their goals. Sometimes what the (school) system provide them is not sufficient or can be counterproductive, and in our case, NUS does not seem to provide an integrated system for students to manage their subjects/ modules according to the conditions for graduation. Furthermore a quick survey of the students reveal they have unpleasant experiences with the disintegrated systems which NUS provides.
