A Study on Improvement of Mobile App for UNLV: Campus Safety Protocol in User Experience DESCRIPTION:\n\nKristine Monsada1\nMustafa Diallo2\nCecilia Garcia-Leon2\nMayra Carrera2\nKhristine Le2\nFaculty Mentor: Sang-Duck Seo, Ph.D.2\n1Howard R.

However, while many universities offer services to help students stay safe while on campus, students continue to feel unsafe.\nThe University of Nevada Las Vegas’s (UNLV) proximity to the Las Vegas Strip causes campus to be vulnerable to crime. While UNLV offers students safety resources through their campus safety app, ‘RebelSafe,’ we found that only a small percentage of UNLV students actually use the app and wanted to pinpoint why. Thus, we focused our research on improving the usability and User Experience (UX) of this existing campus safety application by redesigning the app and conducting usability tests with the redesign.\nTo test the effectiveness of the new redesign, our empirical study consists of three tasks for participants to execute: contacting police, requesting safety escorts, and accessing other safety resources. The findings from the usability testing help us analyze the difficulties users experience from the prototype. They also help us determine areas that are working and areas that need improvement.\nBy focusing on the improvement of the existing UNLV RebelSafe mobile app, this study intends not only to specify an effective user interface design that fits into emergency protocol procedure but also to clarify the campus safety resources through a single mobile application.\n URL:https://oursymposium.sites.unlv.edu/program/a-study-on-improvement-of-mobile-app-for-unlv-campus-safety-protocol-in-user-experience/ ORGANIZER;CN=The Office of Undergraduate Research:MAILTO:our@unlv.edu CATEGORIES:Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
