Problem: Online calendars are unable to sync up with other calendars and schedules that students use to keep organized with classes, work, clubs, hobbies, etc.
Solution: A website or app calendar that is able to sync up with calendars from popular and most used websites students use, like Canvas and MyLab as well as class schedule, work schedule, and extracurricular/sports events. The application would be sold to the university on a semester basis, and given out to students using their ID number. Students would be able to customize the look and organization of the calendar. For instance they may add the football schedule, events happening at the Reitz Union, club meetings, or speaker events happening around campus. Having it as an app would probably be the best option, so students would have easy and convenient access to it where ever they are. This product would keep students organized without spending a lot of time creating their own planner or logging in individual events in their phone calendar.
This would be a great Idea for busy students like me. It is very annoying that I have to keep track of multiple calendars rather than just one calendar that would combine everything. This causes me to be very disorganized, and sometime miss assignments and other events. Though it is a great idea to market the product to Universities, I believe that it would be popular among personal users. If this app was to be made, definitely consider me a customer.
ReplyDeleteThis product would be a great idea for students in UF, maybe you can sell it as B2B to universities. This idea would be a great pitch for companies like Apple, Microsoft and high tech companies. This idea can also be easily stolen from a tech company that produces these types of widgets. I dont reccomend App ideas because they can easily be stolen and patented by another company, but this is a very interesting concept.
