Abstract
Study Buddy is an application that helps students study much more efficiently. By providing healthy break times while keeping track of study deadlines.
Award
The Project was awarded the Best UX/UI project in HackOr, Hackathon Oregon 2021.
Background
In today’s world, college students studying virtually face new challenges, including Zoom fatigue, low motivation, and overwhelming stress. Many students struggle to stay focused at home due to distractions such as phones, family, and busy environments.
Problem
To address these issues and help students stay motivated and focused while studying, there is a need for a solution that can help them keep track of their study goals and schedule specific intervals devoted to studying.
Solution
We developed an app that:
-
Keeps track of assignments, deadlines, meetings, and study goals via a calendar.
-
Includes a timer to help students study in focused intervals with dedicated breaks.
-
Provides alerts for upcoming goals and events, organizing everything in one place.
-
Minimizes distractions by turning off notifications from other apps.
-
Features a Goal List that shows weekly goals that students can check off as they complete them.
Healthy Study Breaks
Through our research, we focus on having students get their motivation and mental in checked.
We have implemented the calendar and a study analysis statistics to give the students motivation by gamification of the application.
The user would also get recommended study breaks within their study to promote healthy study habits.
Challenges We Faced
Due to the timeframe of the project, we could not do all our ideas. However, did our best to implement different functionalities and focus on the main point of the project.
