Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Our company advertises thousands of products online. However, we currently rely on slow modes of communication with our customers. Users have requested the functionality to contact sellers directly via a real-time chat function.

We would like to work with students to research and design a general chat interface.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Conducting background research on the session platform
  • Research and define how we can implement the session platform within the platform
  • Producing a wireframe or mock-up of the resulting system’s user interface.
  • Testing the design with users and making improvements.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Prototyping multiple possible chat function designs.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Solid knowledge of decentralized communication
  • knowledge of the chat service "session" can be downloaded from google play
  • Understanding of our company and customers
  • Provide a research portfolio that defines the viability of session within our project
  • Design of a chat function wireframe or mockup
  • Refinement of the design through testing results

Bonus steps would include:

  • Providing multiple wireframes or mockups for different designs

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
  • A presentation.
