A Personal Mobile Academic Adviser

摘要

The semester enrollment is one of the most important university processes. The students submit an enrollment application with a selection of courses, that goes under review by the academic advisers. The introduced virtual academic adviser aims to alleviate typical problems in the process and enables the student to make an informed choice, aided by measures of success and social navigation towards more streamlined selection. An estimated future study plan until graduation is given to the student, based on the average speed of studying. The adviser enables the student to perform what-if analysis, change the load, switch to another program, even try a migration to a new institution. The application was tailored to the requirements of students while mobile, which is of special importance due to the existance of concurrent administrative processes happening at various locations even outside of campus.
