Eudoxos is a greek state website used for managing university books.
The (current) website: https://eudoxus.gr/ (only Greek version)
There are four main groups using this website:
- Students who will state each semester which books want for their courses
- Publishers who will state which books they offer
- University officials who will "connect" courses and books
- Pickup up points like bookshops which the student will go to receive his book
This redesigning project is part of a university assignment of a course called Human-Computer Interaction. The main goal was to find the problems of the current website, redesign it and implement the new design. The project consisted of 3 parts:
- Heuristic evaluation of the current website and report of the problems. The heuristic evaluation was mainly based on Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design.
The report: reports/EudoxosUsabilityReport.pdf (currently only in Greek) - Designing the new website based on UCD (User-Centered Design)
- Decide the two of the above groups which we will develop (we chose the student and the publisher) and write representative personas about them. More on personas.
- Analyze their requirements, write state diagrams about them, write scenarios and conclude in specifications which will be used to make the scenario fulfilled.
- Design a sitemap and low fidelity wireframes based on the above specifications using Balsamiq Wireframes.
The report: reports/RedesigningEudoxos.pdf (currently only in Greek)
- Implement the design developing a fully functional website using the above wireframes and state diagrams. The content of the website is in Greek.
- Design: StarUML and Balsamiq wireframes
- Development: HTML5, CSS, Javascript (with Bootstrap4 and jQuery) and XAMPP as a PHP development environment. The database model was created in MySQL workbench and used the exported script in phpmyadmin (eudoxosDBscript.sql).
