Process of Activities for Completing this Project using web tools
In
order to complete this project, we used several convenient web tools. First, we
used WhatsApp web and WhatsApp mobile to set a group and meeting time for our
project. WhatsApp. WhatsApp Is a very convenient communication contact mobile
application especially for doing this project. For example, we used WhatsApp
for discuss our project, the problem, share Google form for questionnaire,
share link for Google drive, Pinterest and Padlet. All our design and
development process that is share in WhatsApp among our group mates.
Second, we also used Google form. Google
form is an online service which offered by Google Company whereby the form can
be created by anyone who has Google Account. The Google form will be saved on
the user’s Google Drive. The purposes of Google form are for the users to set
up questions regarding their projects or survey and share it with the others
through online so that people can fill up the questions for them. All the
responses to the Google form will be save in an Excel file which is store in
Google Drive. Once the users are done collecting the data, they can close the
form and download the results. Just like almost all other Google Services, the
forms can be customized. Google Company offered 24 different themes with myriad
colors and each of them can be customized to meet the user’s aesthetic
requirements.
Based on our experience when using the Google
form, the fact that we like about the Google form is that it is free to use but
the requirement is that we need to have a Google Account. Next, it is also very
easy to use and set up the questions whereby you just have to click and choose
the style you like on how the questions will look/ask and how would you like
the respondent to answer our questions such as objective version, short answer
version or long answer version. It is all depend on how you choose. Other than
that, the results will be auto-count whereby you do not have to waste time on
counting it yourself. You also can choose on how you would like the results to
display for you such as bar chart, pie chart, and other more.
Therefore, based on the results off our
survey on ‘Finding Part Time Job Among College/University Student’ using Google
form is that most of the college/university students have funding from PTPTN
but even with PTPTN funding, most of them still agree that it is not enough for
them. Due to this, most of them are willing to find and work as part timer so
that they are able earn some extra income for themselves yet it is hard to find
part time jobs. Most of the college/university students find part time jobs
through social website advertisement yet some of them are through family and
friends introduce. Due to this, the college/university students do not have a
constant way of finding a part time job. Therefore, we propose an idea/solution
for the college/university students whereby we will develop an app for them
whereby they can search for part time jobs anytime, anywhere through the app.
Third, we used Google drive to manage our
file between group mates. Google drive Is a file storage and synchronization
service that develop by Google. Thanks to Google drive very convenient file
storage and synchronization services. Even when we are in different places, we
can still view and edit each other’s files via Google Drive. Not only that, we
will also find information on part-time jobs, mobile apps, college and other
related classes stored on Google Drive. In this way, we can use Google Drive to
share information that we find and discuss which ones are needed or not needed.
For example, we collect some reference picture for our app interface design
from Pinterest and store it at Google store as an inspiration.
Fourth, we also use Pinterest for our
inspiration and references for user interface design. Pinterest Is a network
and mobile platform that can upload pictures, download pictures, and share
pictures. Users can add and manage their own picture collections by theme and
share them with friends. After we find and collect picture, we upload all the
picture to Google drive for our designer as an inspirations and references. So,
Pinterest really help us in the part of designing user interface for our
searching part time job app.
Five, Padlet is another useful web tool
that we used. Padlet is a tool that we use to record our step by step process
and post. We also use it to record our duty and task in this project. Padlet is
a very easy-to-use cloud sharing tool website, the concept of which is to
provide ‘wall panels’ for users to write text, and free to paste pictures, web
pages, documents, recordings, etc., to share their personal views. Unlike
Google drive, because its concept is to present the content as a 'wall cloth',
and you can add a grid to the board to record the work of each member. So,
everyone can check and record related issues quickly and comfortably. For
example, we record the design process, the task of every group mates and the
development process of our whole project.
