Interface design for team management tool

Company: PSU LF

Major(s):
Primary: CMPSC

Non-Disclosure Agreement: NO

Intellectual Property: NO

A former Capstone team created the foundation for the current tool used to manage project team assignments. A team member has continued development for the last six months. The result is a tool that is functional, but challenging to interpret and use. The project team will redesign and implement a new user interface for the tool. There are two primary views: Instructor and Director. The server is written in C++, although it utilizes a simple framework so even people with minimal experience in C++ can work on it. The UI is in JS/HTML/CSS. The team should prepare and receive feedback from stakeholders on several alternatives throughout the development process. The final design should be fully tested and ready for implementation. We are looking for students that are familiar with UI design and have strong aesthetic sensibilities--we want this to work well and look ??.
