A UI/UX Design mobile application that helps Quran teachers to Go Green with a more efficient way to save the environment and for the teacher that looses track of his papers and it's a waste of time to create an Excel sheet to track every student progress and print is not really an efficient way since the teacher should buy a printer, ink and a pen.
Phase - 1
How did it start?
The Problem
There are many teachers around the globe that keep track of their students but sometimes there is a possibility of 1/20 students the teacher may lose their track of their student because of using papers.
Mohammed is a Quran teacher that struggled to track student progress by forgetting the placement of the file, so I offered Mohammed to create an application that can solve his problem and Go Green. With the help of Track Student Progress Application, teachers will have no struggles finding their student's files.
User Research
Problem Statement
Affinity Mapping
User Flow
Sketches

Prototype
Users
Interviews
At the discovery phase of my project, I conducted four user interviews in order to get a better understanding of the problem.
Findings
I found out that most of the course recruiters aren’t interested in this field so i went to the Mosque (Masjid) and talked to my friends that are Quran teachers to find out more about how this will improve my ideas through questioning and asking for suggestions on the application and how it will help the community struggles.
I came up with a list of sketches and questions to the Quran teachers and after having this User Research and gathering their feedbacks, I came up with small improvements and saw their impressions about it and they were flabbergasted about how will this application succeed in this field since there are no strong competitors and this application has more features than what they include in their printed Excel sheet with the student progress.
simplicity : the teachers need is an application that can save students progress and never lose them as if they had it in a paper and they can access this application through their Mobile Phone and the application itself is easy and clear.
Affinity Mapping
For the Affinity Mapping, I’ve got 5 categories & they are Mohammed's goals, Instructors behaviors, student behaviors, adapt to different mental abilities and students push each other.
after understanding the problem in a better way I've drew a user flow based on the research done
after creating the user flow, I've managed to draw some sketches and made a wireframes on the sketches on how the Application would look like based on the information that I've gathered
Phase - 2
Problem statement
Teachers needs a way to track students efficiently so that they keep the environment safe, because they’re buying papers, printing on them by using Excel sheet is a lengthy process and waste of time and resources in many cases papers can be lost.
Affinity Map
in further research I've conducted 4 more interviews to understand the issue and got 7 categories & they are Inspiration, Types of parent contacts, Ensuring Quran learning techniques, Group education, Tracking methods, Ensure that student apply Quran in their daily life and Islamic culture.
After understanding the whole system through conducting interviews with people that have an idea about this matter and asking if there is a room of improvement from the last user flow.
The Final Prototype
Next Steps
Conduct usability test on the improved version of the application.
Research ways to improve the accessibility.
Implement what I gather from feedbacks that will help teachers to have a better all round application.
