Social Media Volunteering Application |
|
| Abstract | This thesis is aiming at proposing a new way to promote volunteering work and a new way of helping people by increasing the amount of volunteering work that is carried out. This thesis will documents the design of a concept that engages people to volunteer and socially commit. The project is centered on a mobile web application that facilitates a task sharing system for volunteer work. The project includes the development and testing of a prototype application. The thesis starts out by giving motivation for creating the application and discusses the problems relating to creating such an application. The next chapter discusses similar existing projects and explains what can be learned from these projects. The next three chapters explain the design of the system: The abstract features of the application, the actual technology choices for implementation, the actual implementation of a prototype application. The next two chapter documents how the system has been tested and how the system works from the user perspective. The last chapter explains the necessary future work to improve and finish the application.
In conclusion the thesis motivates that the proposed idea for a new application is valid. The thesis documents a design for such an application on an abstract level and on a practical level. The thesis documents a workable prototype application. The thesis raises the issue that it is problematic but essential to make the application spread virally. |
