Goals
- To provide users with the information they need during an event, without requiring internet access all the time.
Background and strategic fit
In previous years, a third-party app was created that did not communicate with the colloquium website — changes made in users' personal schedules in the app did not show up on the website and vice versa. Developing the app in-house means we can enable communication between the app and the website, and prevent organizers from incurring the cost of hiring a third party to develop an app.
Assumptions
- The user has an Android smartphone or tablet with Android 4.0 or newer, or an Apple iPod touch, iPhone or iPad with iOS 8 or newer.
- The user has internet access at least some of the time.
