What is Digital Excellence?

A lot of employees and students of Fontys School of ICT (FHICT) create a lot of nice products. As a hobby, for their work or because of a school project. These can be software solutions, small scripts, research papers, thesis but possibly also project ideas and proposals for others to pick up. Unfortunately, most of them remain private and are not known by the majority of the population. The goal of the DeX-platform (short: DeX) is to make all this work more findable and thus improving collaboration.

Commonly heard criticism is that “we already have GitLab for this”. This, however, is only one specific source. A content creator can choose to use a different platform for its project. DeX will search for all sources that are linked to the platform. Moreover, GitLab is mostly used in software development. Research papers, for instance, have a different source. We want to find all relevant information and thus search in all available sources, not only GitLab. The benefits of using DeX will include, but probably not be limited to:

VISIBILITY

Projects that are now only known by a small group of people will be more visible to the whole community. This increases the visibility of innovative solutions as well as their collaborators.

COLLABORATE

People can easily find the collaborators of a project (proposal) and collaborate with them more easily. This creates a sort of open-source community in which all our collaborative ideas are shared.

AGGREGATE

People have a better overview of their own work. This can be useful for instance when maintaining a portfolio or using examples in class, both as a teacher as well as a student. A student can show his or her previous work and maybe even demonstrate certain learning outcomes within that particular semester.

SHOWCASE

Administrators can more easily find good examples of innovative solutions (showcases) that are built by the community. This can then, for instance, be used for promotional use. The interesting projects will be praised by the community and will be identified sooner and more easily. Such projects can then be put on the website of FHICT for instance.

CENTRALIZE

It can be a central place where all project proposals can be gathered. Internships, minors, challenges for certain semesters such as Open Innovation all have their own format and system where employees and students need to work with. This can all potentially be grouped into one system.

SUGGEST

DeX can suggest interesting projects for you as a person, based on interest such as techniques, a certain topic or based on the collaborators which (some of them) you follow and/or share the same interests. This way you will be informed and up-to-date with the latest news and trends.

dex-frontend's Issues

Usertesting Tone of Voice

In GitLab by @RensNooren on Mar 9, 2020, 14:49

Executing a test for the Tone of Voice

  • Does the tone of voice fit the expectations?
  • Does the tone of voice fit the purpose of the platform?

Frontend Architecture

In GitLab by @Brend-Smits on Mar 9, 2020, 23:10

  • Define and implement a basic frontend architecture

Defining should be done by @I380477, implementation could be done by anyone else. Better to have a good architecture from scratch.

Define a target audience

In GitLab by @Brend-Smits on Mar 5, 2020, 21:23

What is our target audience, define one and communicate it with the team. Write it down so it's easily located.
It's key to have a target audience defined as soon as possible, it can be redefined as the project goes.
There are multiple groups to keep in mind:

  • Students
  • Teachers
  • Partners in Education
  • Research groups and lectures(NL: lectoren)
  • II&A
  • Maybe Fontys IT

If you would like to contact any of the above groups, please reach out to @wilrikdeloose

First version of Styleguide

In GitLab by @RensNooren on Mar 24, 2020, 16:10

Creating a first version of a complete styleguide based on the results of the form from Sprint 1. In this first version we will explain all style elements used within the branding of DeX.

Adding a margins and paddings section to styleguide

Pages:

  • Our Logo
  • Our Typeface
  • Our Colours
  • Illustrations
  • Dex Rex (eventueel)
  • Design guidelines (margins etc)

Tone of Voice

In GitLab by @RensNooren on Mar 9, 2020, 14:48

Creating a tone of voice and adding it to the Target Audience document.

Flowchart: adding additional pages

In GitLab by @RensNooren on Mar 24, 2020, 16:22

Creating a flowchart in which we explain the flow of the platform and all pages required in this process. Within this issue we also need to look into additional pages that need to be added to the design.

Redesign: Project overview

In GitLab by @RensNooren on Mar 24, 2020, 16:11

In the redesign we also need to think about how the page would look if a visitor would search for projects. And how could we invite people to use the platform with an account.

How does our target audience get to use the platform?

In GitLab by @Brend-Smits on Mar 5, 2020, 21:54

We need to know how we can get our target audience to actually use the platform, document the research and discuss it with the stakeholder(s). How do we make it appealing in such a way that all of FHICT want to use the platform and everybody starts collaborating more? This involves requirement analysis, PR, marketing, branding and more.

Define a plan of action after discussion.

Definitive version of Styleguide

In GitLab by @RensNooren on Mar 24, 2020, 16:10

Finishing up the styleguide for DeX. After this definitive version we should only make adjustments if deemed absolutely necessary. Additions to the styleguide may be made in future sprints if need be.

Redesign: New project sources

In GitLab by @RensNooren on Mar 24, 2020, 16:11

In the redesign we also need to look in to new possibilities to make a difference between "internal sources" and "external sources". Internal sources being gitfhict and kennisbank, and external sources being all the others platforms we would like to include in DeX e.g. Github, Bitbucket, etc.

What should the interface look like?

In GitLab by @Brend-Smits on Mar 4, 2020, 21:12

  • Define the target audience
  • Find out what the target audience finds important
  • Define functional and non-functional requirements for a user interface
  • Create sketches of possible user interfaces
  • Test different user interfaces and see which one works best
  • Create final draft of how the platform should look like

To not get stuck on creating the perfect user interface, we want to try to get a new version of the frontend every release cycle (every 3 weeks).
It's not important that the UI has every feature right away, or has everything perfectly in sync. The backend won't be ready for all features right away either.
Start with a toned down, simple version of a user interface and share it with the team.
Investigate what our target audience finds important, and how they see themselves using the platform.
Discuss with the stakeholders to see what their view is on the platform and how they see it being implemented
