Project Overview
Full Sail University students using Full Sail One can view and RSVP to events hosted on campus. The RSVPs are in the form of QR codes that the students show when they arrive to the event. The staff that manages these events need a way to confirm the attendance of each student via a check-in process.
Design Task
Design an app that allows staff to check-in students attending a campus event, so they can manage the number of available spots.
Event Information
Title

Start and end times
Location title & address
How are other apps doing this?
My first task was to research other event check-in apps. My initial criteria for an event check-in was broad. I reviewed multiple apps across web, iOS, and Android. I then drilled down my research to specifically target iOS apps, which was required for the project. I produced UX flow, high-fidelity comp, and prototype.
The UX flow displays the journey a staff member would follow while checking in students to on-campus events. It begins at the log in screen and provides a view into four distinct areas. Those four areas are for viewing events, viewing the student directory, scanning a student's QR code, and accessing the staff member's account.
Final UI
My high-fidelity comp included 22 screens that provided a seamless flow allowing staff members to do all that is needed from logging into the app to looking up a student. They can manually RSVP and/or check in students by button presses or do the same thing by scanning the student's QR code instead. All requirements were addressed throughout the high-fidelity comp.
Learnings
One of the things I learned while working on this project was time management. I completed this project in two days. It was a short amount of time, but I created an outline for the amount of time I would spend on certain parts of the project. Following those timeframes was key to completing the project in this timeframe. Another thing I learned was to just have fun. I really enjoyed working on the UX flow and designs for this project.
