The portal for students and teachers
u:space
Creating a modern, barrier-free & user-friendly portal through technical modernization and easy expandability
Single-Point-of-Entry for students and teachers
In cooperation with the University of Vienna, we have been developing the new portal for students and teachers.
u:space supports their academic daily life by covering everything from online-admissions to grad entries.
The challenge
Meeting high expectations and delivering the result
The challenge was to implement the production operation of the legacy application in one of the largest universities in Europe.
Furthermore, we had to meet expectations after only a few weeks, with the introduction of agile processes, a microservice architecture, automated software testing and a modern frontend framework.
Afterwards, we established ongoing further development of the new system and integration of the existing legacy systems together with the University of Vienna.
The solution
u:space, the modern university portal
The focus is on the development of various tools for students and teachers, with high quality, low costs, and safety in mind. In addition, a modern student ID card based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) was implemented.
Prospective students can register directly at u:space and apply for admission to a study program. Admission to Degree Programs is also possible, e.g. prospective and enrolled students can apply for admission to a new degree or a re-entry. The study overview comprises all classes students are admitted to or have completed and provides information about fees.
In the record of examinations, students can check their grades and progress in their studies.
In the My Documents overview, students can find and print documents such as certificates and payment slips. The registration system provides a convenient way for students to check relevant information related to their lectures and exams. Combined with the intuitive registration process, this makes handling registrations a breeze.
The interface for teachers is the main administration tool for courses and exams. It provides teachers with an overview of the students enrolled and the possibility of grading.
Does your academic institution or company need to replace legacy systems, or to digitalize analog processes with an agile approach? If so, reach out to us! We are looking forward to assessing your needs and thinking together of a solution.
