The myOCADU Portal is OCAD University's new student portal, built on the Ellucian Experience framework to provide a more accessible, user-friendly, and functional platform for both students and staff. As part of the development team, I contributed to the design and structure of the portal by building several modules and offering input from my perspective as a student, aligning with the university's co-design approach.
To ensure the portal met the needs of its users, our team conducted interviews with students, led drop-in sessions to gather feedback, and iterated on the design based on their insights. I played a key role in shaping the interactive cards and structuring the categories, making it easier for students to navigate academic and administrative resources.
This collaborative approach resulted in a streamlined and intuitive portal experience, improving access to essential tools and information. The project was recognized with the Advancing Team Excellence Award by the university president, highlighting its impact on enhancing the student experience at OCADU.
