Enhancing Dissertation Experience for University Students

This project, led by University of Leeds, aims to improve the dissertation process for students and educators through a collaborative platform. With research assistants and partners involved, the focus is on engaging end users in innovative ways. The proof of concept prototype and various pages on the platform show the user-centric approach and integration of multimedia elements. Users are engaged from the startup page to personal spaces, with features like tagging, content contribution, and interactive learning tools. The project involves stakeholders, including students, teachers, and project partners for continuous improvement.
