HYBRID MOBILE APPS
Goal:
To build a mobile app companion to the web-based Virginia
Education Wizard, which provides students, parents and
educators information about college admissions requirements,
popular careers based on location and cost calculations between
Virginia-based schools.

across operating systems and devices. Accessing information
through a previously created API, hD worked with the Virginia
Community College System (VCCS) to determine the most
accessed portions of the Wizard system. These discussions
influenced the design and UX of the app, allowing users to
quickly and seamless access information, without going through
a detailed registration process.
Results:

piece.
