< Back Smartphone App for University Students An all-purpose app for Ashesi students. Project from 2017 Life at Ashesi University, like any university, can be overwhelming and disorganized. To streamline this experience, I suggest the development of a versatile mobile app that centralizes various essential services, thereby aiding in effective time management for students. The university offers a range of services including student support, counseling, and tutoring. However, accessing these services often proves to be a cumbersome and time-consuming process. In addition to these, many students are unaware of the contact details for on-campus emergency services and national emergency numbers in Ghana. In critical situations, this lack of information could lead to wastage of precious time. To tackle these issues, the proposed app would be a comprehensive solution. It would feature functionalities like accurate weather forecasts by integrating with the Accuweather website for Berekuso forecasts, a meal plan balance checker linked with the Ashesi meal plan webpage, and a digital menu for campus eateries like Akornor and Big Ben. Additionally, the app would include a directory of contact details for Ashesi’s various services and emergency services, with the added convenience of calling these contacts directly from the app. This integration would ensure that all necessary information and services are readily accessible to students, thereby enhancing their university experience and safety. Pseudocode 1. When the app is started the homepage is displayed. 2. The homepage displays titles “Meal Plan,” “Weather,” “Ashesi Services,” “Food” and “Emergency Services.” 3. If “Meal Plan” is selected, the webpage of the Ashesi Meal plan is displayed. 4. If “Weather” is selected, the webpage for accuweather (set for Berekuso) is displayed. 5. If “Food” is selected restaurants in Ashesi are displayed. 6. Select any restaurant and their menu shall be displayed. 7. If “Ashesi Services” is selected a list of Ashesi Services are displayed. 8. Select any service and their contact details is displayed for calling . 9. If “Emergency Services” is selected a list of Emergency Services are displayed. 10. Select any emergency service and their contact details is displayed for calling . Figure 1: Flowchart * Due to the senstivity of some information within the app, kindly request for access. Upon access being granted, the links below shall be temporarily activated.
