NavAtHome is a companion mobile app for students of the online yachting courses offered by NavAtHome Australia. It is meant to be a handy tool, complementing the course material, that students can use when they are away from the computer and while they are sailing.
The app has been split into three main sections; Home, Tools and Learn. The home page is a handy reference for tide and weather conditions. The tools section has a set of tools that students can use while they are sailing and the learn section contains learning modules designed to work like flash cards that the students can use to brush up on their course material.
The home page that is a quick reference for weather and tide information for the user’s current location. It also presents the navigation bar so the user can navigate to the other important sections, tools and learn.
The tools section contains a set of tools that students can use like pre-made checklists, sailing logs, tidal plots and even storage and retrieval of their sailing credentials.
We designed a flash card based interface that students can use to practice the course material when they’re away from the PC. This also supports rich media and the course modules can integrate images, sounds, animations and videos as part of the learning content.
