The University of Lagos Student Portal is one
of the most vital tools needed by students of
the university. It performs various functions
ranging from payment of tuition and other fees
to registration and editing of courses, balloting
for hostel accommodation and many more.
Over the years, there have been little or no improvements
to the functionality of the portal and this has led
students to be desirous of a change. This influenced
my decision to embark on redesigning the student portal.
My goal was to redesign the user interface of the portal to serve as a hub
for all important information and resources needed by students
on a day to day basis and to also implement new features and tools
to be used by the students for an easier and more
reliable flow of important information.
To get students to use the portal daily, I introduced new features like
schedules (timetables), student mails and a campus map amongst others.
I also made the portal more accessible by creating a mobile app as most
students are usually on their mobile phones.
In addition, the portal was
made to be more informative by providing students with relevant information
through the introduction of the notification section for easier flow of
communication and information from the school to the students.
REVIEW
"The new student portal design presents a massive upgrade from the existing portal.
With the introduction of new features and functionalities and a more user-friendly
interface, it addresses the needs of the student population and improves communication
within the student community making student life easier."
