Student Planner
Project during the early days of COVID-19
About
The Student Planner was my first UX/UI project and it came out of a very real problem we faced at school during the early days of COVID-19. Back then, schools just were not ready to shift everything online. Most didn’t have the tools to share assignments, announcements, or class materials over the internet. Even when there were digital platforms, they were slow, clunky, and barely worked on phones — which is what most students actually used. Expensive tools existed, sure, but they were not realistic for most schools to adopt. So I decided to design a simple, accessible solution that could actually work for everyone.
Solving the problem
The goal was to create a clean, easy-to-use platform that actually solved the issues students and teachers were facing. The app included a smart to-do list that automatically scanned a student’s enrolled classes and pulled in any upcoming assignments or communications.
The platform also featured a secure messaging feature, allowing students and parents to communicate directly with teachers. Schools could also send out responsive forms and newsletters to collect feedback or share information, which made a big difference during remote learning.
One of the key features was the weekly report. It showed how much time a student had spent studying, which tasks were completed or still pending, and gave a simple summary of that week’s school activity. It helped both students and parents keep track of progress without needing to ask for updates.
To make the experience even smoother, the app supported Google for Education sign-ins. This meant no one had to remember passwords, and logging in was quick and reliable.
