Project Description:

Caremada is a company based in Ottawa with the goal of creating a user-friendly application that allows licensed caregivers to provide service to people who are in need using an Uber-like manner in which the caregiver comes to the clients’ location. Suki Lee, as our client, assigned us with the development of a hybrid mobile app to give a place for caregiving professionals to build a profile, find work nearby, and get paid wherever they are. This app’s design is required to be similar to the existing web app and will be published on IOS and Android.

Considering most of the users will be elder people, our team decided to make this app in a simple and easy-to-understand way. On the home page, only four buttons will display, two big buttons which drive users to either find a service or post a work offer, a drop-down menu button which contains several features from the dashboard of the web that provides stats on users’ account, and a calendar to help users to track their activities. Some main features this app requires are message chat, payment system, and sign-in sign-out systems that allow users to register and log in. Only the user is logged in, can access some of the features. Users will have different options on the home page, profile management, and a way to view posted work offers if they register with a different position (caregiver or someone who needs help).

By developing this mobile app, our team tries our best to meet the needs of clients. In the meantime, we learned how to build a mobile app by using Ionic and Angular from scratch, and we learned how important cooperation is within teamwork. Lastly, this app is going along with other student teams and they are implementing other features while we are building the overall structure.

Short Description:

The Caremada mobile app is an easy to use application for people who are in need of caregiving services. With Caremada, the service will come to you whenever, wherever.

Project Description:

The goal of our project is to help create a web form application to allow our client to add custom orders to their website and business. We want to help her cut down on time and effort that it takes to make one of these custom orders. The way we plan on going about this is by creating an extra web page for her to be able to create custom orders. We plan on doing this through a quick and easy form which at the end is fully integrated with her payment system. The scope of this project will be limited to working on the custom orders aspect for our client. We hope to deliver a product that exceeds our client’s expectations and is useful for her business. The problem our client faces daily with her customers is custom orders that they want to place. This is due to the website design flaws; the client forced to take most of her orders on the telephone where she manually calculates and adjusts everything according to the buyer’s budget which is time consuming. One possible solution for this problem is adding a separate custom order page just for the admin, where she will be able to adjust the prices for items, delivery, and taxes accordingly to offer a better price quote to the customer other possibility is designing an app just for client use which will have all the above discussed functionalities.

Short Description:

This Project is a custom order page that we have created for one of the largest florist in Ottawa. In this project we help our client by adding many different functionality’s suited specifically for her.

Project Description:

Thinking about space often starts by referring to photorealistic visual images(as objects/nouns). Design as a verb understands the power of spaces to move and affect us. The basic premise of this project is the proposition made by Sarah Robinson in her book, Architecture is a Verb which ….
“asks what a building does—that is, extends the performative functional interpretation of design to interrogate how buildings move and in turn move us, how they shape thought and action.”

Interior Designers can help to make meaningful changes in creating spaces that bring positivity, happiness, and wellbeing. This project identifies verbs that have different qualities and effects and develops spaces around those verbs. This process of thinking of spaces as verbs, brings forth what spaces can be and should be so that we can live in a slightly better compassionate world, and understand the implications of our built work.
The proposals that students have developed consider how spaces can create magic, how spaces can be lost and found, how spaces craft, spaces of resolution, spaces of empathy, to name a few, that suggest spaces that can create a difference in our lives.

Short Description:

We sought to critically examine how Interior Design can impact the way we live. What spaces are needed today that have a meaningful impact on our lives? How can we think of spaces not as objects/nouns but as verbs that change how we live and act.

Project Description:

Kirk Orthodontics and a skilled group of students from Algonquin College have collaborated to create a web-based application (KirkSmiles) that streamlines the process of guiding patients through taking standardized photos of their teeth and bite. The web application then sends a formatted email containing those photos to the orthodontist.

KirkSmiles was developed during the COVID pandemic. If the dentist/orthodontist only requires photo updates of the patient’s teeth and jaw, then reducing the number of in-person visits to a dentist’s or orthodontist’s office reduces exposure to COVID and saves time for all involved parties.

Using the Angular framework, our small team was able to quickly and efficiently develop KirkSmiles. We were able to ensure that a high-quality design of the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) were achieved in the final product, while leveraging open-source tools like axe DevTools to ensure that the web application meets accessibility standards.

Short Description:

KirkSmiles is a web application that streamlines the process of taking intra/extraoral photos for a virtual check-in with your orthodontist.

Ards & North Down: An Emerging Food Tourism Destination

Ards & North Down

Client CABI Tourism Cases
Professor(s) Zainub Ibrahim,

Students Ian Bambrough

Project Description:

This project is a work in progress. It is being created as a tool for classroom learning, research, and other practical application in the academic landscape.

The Ards & North Down Borough of Northern Ireland is located in the northeast, just outside of Dublin. The borough, although not globally recognized as a food tourism destination, is slowly being recognized for its high-quality food offerings and unique product offerings. The plan for the case is to delve into the supply chain highlighting some of the more unique or prominent businesses, farms, festivals, and markets that Ards & North Down has to offer.

The beginning of the case will outline a major farming operation in the borough. Currently, the focus is leaning towards Milbank Farms, run by an energetic, young woman with an entrepreneurial soul. The hope is to better understand how this vegetable farm is interacting in the local, and broader, tourism environment. It is also important to understand what makes their vegetables superior quality to other farms.

The case will then follow to the next player in the supply chain which would be restaurants. To bridge this gap the case will talk about the “Meet the Maker” event that is held by Tourism Northern Ireland. This is an event where restaurants will make a dish highlighting some of the unbelievable local produce, then halfway through the meal, a producer, or farmer, will speak to the local produce and give some history of the farm, themselves, and the food that the people are eating. This shows the connection between agriculture and the culinary scene in Ards & North Down. There has yet to be a restaurant identified as an ideal candidate to be highlighted in this case. However, this level of the supply chain is also shared with food producers and artisans. For this reason, the case will also look at the relationship between agriculture and artisan food products. Again, there is no particular business that has been highlighted but, it is likely to be a bakery as Northern Ireland is known for its sourdough and it is believed that this would be important to highlight.

The next section of the case will dive into some of the festivals and markets in Ards & North Down. Firstly, the Portebogie Seafood Festival will be put in the spotlight as it will begin to show one of the final culinary offerings in the borough, seafood. This festival has also been selected to be showcased as it has recently become a surf and turf event marrying land as sea agriculture. The market that has been selected as the focal point for this section is the Comber Market, one of the largest in the borough. It prides itself on only having producers from within the borough. It has become a major tourism generating attraction in the area. For these reasons, it has been selected for this case.

The final section of the case will explore a perceived divide between land and sea in all aspects of the supply chain.

Project Description:

During the Covid pandemic, people in the food industry have seen their profits dwindle. This is a result of the pandemic restricting customers from attending small businesses and community events. Therefore the Taza web application being developed by 5-bit System is being designed to promote local home-based businesses over large corporations. It offers a user-friendly interface, promotes lower prices in comparison to the competition, and allows fluent and quick delivery via a third-party driver. This application must oversee and allow interaction between three types of users: buyers, sellers, and drivers.

Short Description:

The Taza web application is a food ordering platform that was developed in order to support local home cooks of diverse cuisines to advertise and sell their delicious dishes.

Project Description:

The Project Management Graduate Certificate (PMGC) is a program offered at Algonquin College. They want to create a simulation module that will be published through eCampusOntario and the Pressbook system. This will be a multiple-choice game opportunity that will be a free open educational resource license to students across Ontario.

This particular simulation module will be designed to give deep insight into corporate change through the lens of empathy to create a better working environment. The target audience will be post-secondary learners, professional learners making a mid-career shift, and of course instructors.

Nicole Priatel, Tanya Pobuda, and Demir Deliduman, have all requested the help of a team of design students to help create parts of the simulation module. The design team will provide a style guide that includes: a colour palette, fonts, icons, images, and a slide deck template, design a help character using the Zapworks software, and finally provide a voice recording of the script.

Also working with this project is the Office of Applied Research and Innovation’s (ARIE) facilitator David Solomon.

This project is funded by eCampusOntario and its Virtual Learning Strategy (VLS) initiative.
