The challenge

Students described rushing before deadlines and struggling to translate reminders into consistent study habits.

The approach

I interviewed six students, then iterated from paper sketches to interactive prototypes. Walkthroughs, TAM, SUS, time-on-task and heuristic evaluation informed changes to task organisation, reminders, privacy and a virtual-pet reward system.

The outcome

The final high-fidelity prototype brought study lists, groups, timers, reminders and rewards into one experience. It remained an evaluated student concept, rather than a released application.
