Monday Automatic Attendance Tracker Mobile Application
Product Research & UX/UI Design
Monday is more than just an attendance tracker application; it's a solution designed to simplify the lives of teachers and students alike while contributing to a greener future. By leveraging Bluetooth technology and a user-friendly interface, Monday automates the attendance tracking process, making it effortless for educators and eco-conscious users.
Overview of Project
Monday represents an innovative blend of user-centric design and sustainability principles. By automating attendance tracking, I simplify the lives of educators while reducing paper consumption and promoting a greener, more sustainable future. This project is a testament to the positive impact that thoughtful UX design can have on both users and the environment.

Design Schedule
The project faced a tight timeframe of 2-3 weeks, demanding efficient planning and execution. The design journey involved several phases:
Week 1: Project assessment and problem identification.
Weeks 1-2: Brainstorming and sketching ideas for wireframing.
Weeks 2-3: Researching target users and their journey, leading to design solutions, and prototyping.
Weeks 3:Refining prototype, organizing design documents, and refining slides for in person presentation.
User Persona
Understanding the users was the cornerstone of our project. To empathize with my users, I developed a user persona. This helped me comprehend their challenges, motivations, and potential obstacles.
User Journey
I crafted a user journey to guide teachers through different scenarios and screens, ensuring a smooth and intuitive experience. I opted for a modal experience, keeping users engaged within the attendance tracking feature. Additionally. I considered the student's perspective when teachers sent attendance notifications.
Wireframes
My wireframes were simple yet effective. I focused on ensuring that users could easily grasp the functions of each button in the application, emphasizing usability and user-friendliness.
Prototype
Upon installation, teachers will be prompted to sign up and specify whether they were a student or teacher, as both needed to install the application for the RFID signal to function effectively. The app hinged on Bluetooth activation, which automatically detected the RFID signal emitted by students' devices.
Users will be asked to provide basic information like their name, institute, school email, and phone number. Additionally, users will agree to terms and conditions, which included using Bluetooth and short radio frequency signals for attendance tracking, ensuring privacy, security, and responsible data use.
By incorporating sustainability into my design process, I aimed to address both teacher needs and environmental concerns because during my time as a student I've noticed that many educators still use paper-based attendance systems, which contribute to deforestation. I envisioned a paperless solution that not only saves time but also helps conserve our precious trees.
Key Takeaway
Sustainability: Incorporating sustainability principles into design can lead to eco-friendly solutions.
Greener Fututre: Thoughtful UX design positively impacts users and the environment simultaneously.
