Designs
Design I
- Our first design begins with a poster creator visiting the URL RScanVP.com. The initial page Image 1 of the website is loaded and displays a few examples of posters with our QR codes, a description of what we do, and an option of making a QR code. The user has the option of either:
- creating account, or
- logging into an existing account, or
- creating a QR Code.
- The poster creator can choose not to log in and then the site will not be able to track the results, but can still send email updates, provided a valid email is supplied at QR creation time. If the poster creator clicks on the 'Make a QR Code' Button, they are redirected to a page with a form. They can fill out this form Image 2 with the details of the event including: time, date, location, if RSVPs are required, and whether to keep statistics. Clicking 'Create the QR Code' will create the image and display it. If an email is supplied, the image will be emailed, if logged in the image will be saved in the account.
- The user can choose to login or create an account. Creating an account, will be a very generic account creation and link your account to an email address. After creation, the poster creator can then choose to login. Once logged in, the poster user has the option of clicking on one of their created events Image 3, or going to create a new event. Clicking on a particular event displays information pertaining to that event at the bottom of the screen. This information includes information about when the QR codes were most often scanned sorted by time and date. It also includes information about where the QR codes were scanned. This gives the creator information about the most popular places to put event posters and possibly who the most popular audience is. If the most popular location is in Stata, then its possible that computer scientists are very interested in the event, for instance. The information will include a total number of people that scanned the image and also a total number of individuals who further chose to RSVP.
- There will be an option of viewing the list of people who have RSVPed to the event. Giving the poster creator the option of getting an accurate head count, emailing/contacting all of the interested individuals, or holding a lottery to choose participants for a limited number of seats.
Review
- This design has the positive qualities in that
- This design could be improved by adding an edit QR code option. It is unsafe because if you make an error and create the code, there is no option for going back and editing the code, you have to start over. This
