The University of Rochester. We are all computer science majors and have decided to make a change 

in the way that students across campus interact with one another.

What is Link-Up? 

  

Link-Up is the new app for college students. It allows you to input your class schedule that can be easily downloaded from your school's workday account. You can then add friends using our discover feature which automatically shows you other students who have a similar major/interests as you. Once you have created your friends list Link-Up will take care of the rest for you. It will automatically match you with people who are free at the same time as you are. Link-Up makes scheduling lunches, workouts, and studying a piece of cake.

Link-Up Launch

March 20th, 2023
  
Hello from the Link-Up team! We are excited to be launching our official website for updates and news from the Link-Up team as we continue to research and develop our app for all college students to enjoy.
 
March 27th, 2023
  
We are excited to share that we are moving forward with our research and development of the Link-Up app. There is a lot of brainstorming and whiteboarding happing with the team. We are excited to finally be seeing our product coming together. Stay tuned for more updates next week! #LinkUp

 
 
Update 2

April 4th, 2023

 
 
Update 1

  
We have been busy working on evaluation testing for the Link-Up app. We are currently working on creating our evaluation plan. Our goal is to test our current product by inviting participants to test using the app for a period of time (most likely 5-7 days). This will allow us to track several metrics on the typical usage of the Link-Up app with our testing users. From this, we also hope to find ways to improve the overall user experience of the app by getting feedback from our participants. We are planning on using a questionnaire format in order to record feedback metrics from the participants. 

 
 
Update 3

April 10th, 2023

We have now finished creating our evaluation plan and are ready to begin testing our product with users for the upcoming week. #LinkUp

 
 
Update 4/Evaluation Results

April 16th, 2023
 
We are now done with the testing phase of the Link-Up app. We would like to share some of the results from our evaluation. 

Usage: 
The app was most used during the day (around lunchtime). This is not too surprising as this is the time when people are the busiest so pre-scheduling meet-ups is harder.
App usage stayed pretty constant throughout the week. We did not have time to test on the weekend, however, we can assume that the app usage would go down during this time as many people don't use the dining halls during the weekend as they opt to eat off campus.

Things users liked: 
Ease of use.
the discover page
          Specifically, they liked the way that we suggest people with similar                  majors/interests

Things users disliked:
more use cases such as the ability to schedule workouts or studying with others rather than just the ability to schedule lunch together
           This is actually very motivational feedback as it shows us that the                 users like our model and they would like it to be expanded into an all             in one app




 

 
 
Update 5

April 21st, 2023

We are happy to say that we were able to present Link-up to the HCI class today. We got good feedback from the class indicating to us that other students would benefit from the solution we created. We are now moving on to create a demo video to showcase Link-Up!
