• UC WISE (Web-based Interaction for Science
  Engineering) provides a customizable learning
  management system, tools for collaborating on
  projects, as well as communication and assessment
  mechanisms. The system is accessible through a
  web-based portal that allows students and
  teachers to use these tools.
• Assignments, quizzes, readings, tutorials are all
  available through this portal. The instructor can
  also keep track of the progress of the student
  through the assignments provided by the system.
  This project will focus on the interface of the
  student portal.

• User Persona
• William is a 19 year old freshman. He went to
  high school Southern California and was the
  smartest student in his class, but now isnt
  doing as well as he thought he would. He is
  taking a lot of classes and trying to go out as
  much as he can but he doesn't get much free time.
  At this point most of his friends are also
  computer science majors and so they spend a lot
  of time in the computer labs. William has been
  using computers and the internet for several
  years and has even worked on a few personal
  websites.
