ModuleMate

Over the time of the course we had to design an app or a mash up with our group. We decided on a app that would be module review app for students. We came up  with this idea as we all said we had trouble with picking different module and electives. We wanted a student perspective on the module we were picking. We wanted a less formal and more informal review.

So we designed our app on MITappinventor. This was very difficult as we did not understand the different rules that applied to different blocks. Thankfully Shane put on three extra classes that myself and some of my team members attended. We eventually had created our app.

Following this I put together the Prezi for our app. In this Prezi we had concluded a powtoon video, which shane had showed us in previous class and then also a screencast of us demonstrating how to use the app.

Here is a link to the prezi https://prezi.com/0vrgy-mvg-qo/modulemate/

At the start of this module I was hesitant about making the app as involved many things that I had never done before. I was delighted with my group, We all were committed to doing our work, and splitting the workload up evenly. We worked really well together from the get go. Thankfully we had brainstormed our idea quickly so this gave us time to make the app. We did have a few issues along the way. The designing of the app being the hardest, as the blocks were very complex steps. There was a tutorial on MITappinventor called pizza party which greatly assisted us on designing the app.

Overall I really enjoyed this experience of making the app and seeing it all come together. I had never done anything like this before so this really was different for me.T
