Research question
Events and opportunities are announced across dozens of groups and notice boards, and first-years in particular miss most of them.
Approach
Societies publish to one feed, and a recommender ranks what each student sees using their interests and the free slots in their timetable.
Key features
- One feed for events, societies and opportunities
- Recommendations that respect the student’s timetable
- Reminders and calendar export
Evaluation
The recommender was evaluated offline on historical attendance and in a two-week pilot with a residence.
