Description¶

The article uses the student life cycle (Sprenger et al., 2010) as an organizational structure for developing support and functionalities. The article states that "The study process comprised three phases (see Table 1), which included structured sub-dimensions that can be used to structure the development and implementation of IDSAs": before university study (recruitment to enrollment), during university study (examinations, organization, re-registration), and after university study (graduation, alumni activities). Transition phases such as arriving at a university require intensive support.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Phase-specific focus translating requirements into practical information, e.g., addressing beginning-student needs such as student financing or finding locations on campus

Constraints¶

The structure and focus of a student life cycle may differ in terms of teaching, quality management, and campus management system cost

Target Learners¶

Higher education students across study phases, with emphasis on early-phase students

Learning Goals¶

Study organization and phase-appropriate individual support
