STUBY
Problem
The students main problem was with the lack of professor engagement which lead to lack of motivation and concentration in a home learning environment. Students also felt as though they couldn’t communicate with professors about necessary class assignments. Students often become very distracted with their home environment which disrupts their learning capabilities.
Solution
STUBY is an study companion that is able to help students stay on track to hand in assignments on time and help motivate them to do those assignments and attend class in this remote time.
Team
To create our solution, I worked in a group and we used research methods such as Surevays . This tool helped us develop our solution of a study budy to solve the problem of Undergraduate Students are not as motivated to do school work or go to class on time in an online learning environment setting.
UX Research.
The survey questions focused Under graduated students on how they felt transferring from a traditional class room environment to an online virtual environment. My team and I focused on how students felt unmotivated and lack of concentration during online learning.
The Unmotivated Student.
My team and I made one persona, empathy map, and journey map based on our survey results and prior research. The personas are based off a student in an online learning environment setting. Creating personas this helped in brainstorming soutions guilded by how well the needs of the indivual user were being met.

Nick uses the QR code on the letter to download the STUBY companion app.
Nick checks his grades and sees that he has a D in his classes and notices that STUBY is very sad.
STUBY gives Nick a tip on how to improve his grades and tell Nick to wake up earlier to study.
The next day STUBY acts like an alarm clock and wakes Nick up to study.
From waking up early Nick was able to finish his paper that was due today by 1pm.
After a week Nick gets his grade back and it is an A+ and both Nick and STUBY are happy.
