CDTO Campus is run by the East Europe Foundation with funding from Visa Foundation and Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It’s supported by GIZ and created together with the Digitality GovTech Centre of Excellence, under the patronage of Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation.

CDTOs, or Chief Digital Transformation Officers, are digitalization deputies in various government bodies such as ministries, regional administrations, and city councils.

Ukraine was among the first countries to introduce the CDTO position at the state level.

A notable aspect of the CDTO Campus project is its technological training format, which offers educational programs both in-person and online. Individuals aspiring to become specialists in digital transformation within the public sector can now learn with the CDTO Campus mobile application, developed by the Homin team.

Authorization, security, and access within the application

Users log in to the application using a username and password. Access to their personal accounts is protected through registration and login processes. Curators and lecturers receive invitations from the administrator to join.

Students can sign up for the app on their own. Since participants are chosen beforehand, not just anyone can register. To sign up, students need their group code and must enter a confirmation code that the curator received during registration.

User registration

The application ecosystem includes three participant roles: student, lecturer, and curator. Users can register for the application under one of these roles, and each registration process has unique characteristics and involves a different number of screens.

Curator

The Curator, as a user of the application, acts as an individual responsible for various administrative tasks, including creating groups, scheduling events, and monitoring group and student progress.

One of the main streams of the Curator's work is regulation and up-to-date support of the schedule and training of each group.

Visual components of the app

The mobile application was developed based on the client's design. Our goal was to bring their concept to life in alignment with a comprehensive technical task and clear instructions provided.

Additional project tasks
1
The ability to efficiently and conveniently manage the content aspect of the project.
2
Ensuring fast and seamless interaction among all project components, including what users see, data architecture, ease of access, and accurate data transfer from the admin panel to the application.
3
Implementing mechanics for displaying and integrating non-persistent vertical videos into lectures/courses/tasks. These short videos do not apply to all units. It is crucial to ensure the stability of the application despite this integration.
4
Maintaining 24/7 communication with project stakeholders.
The admin panel for the mobile application

The admin panel functions as a centralized hub for managing course materials, lecturer and curator lists, student information, and group assignments. The team can see students’ ratings of lectures, track their homework progress, and assign tasks to individual students.

Lectures scheduled in the calendar

Within the navigation block, the Lecturer has a lecture calendar where they can add supporting materials for each session.

These materials are visible only to the group attending that particular lecture. Each lecture entry in the calendar consists of two subsections: information and attendance. Once the lecture concludes, the option to mark attendance disappears.

Challenges of the CDTO Campus project
1
Full customization
The specific task was not to add any extra features or paid options, as the project is non comercial and doesn't generate revenue separately. This project is customized and tailored to meet the client's specific needs.
2
Modules for the behavior of different roles
The Calendar modules are implemented with custom functionality for creating and editing schedules and lectures directly tailored for Curators, Lecturers, and Students needs.
3
Variable text module
We have created a variable text module for easy input of textual content. This allows the backend of the application to input preliminary texts for blocks that may require changes "on the fly" during the operation and release of the application.
4
Video playback module
We would also like to highlight the video playback module, which was developed collaboratively by the entire project team, encompassing both its logic and design aspects.

Student's profile

Every student can check their grades in their personal score log, found under the "Grades" tab in the navigation menu. Here, students can view their grades for completed assignments. Students can give feedback right after the lecture ends in the app.

App notifications

What does this mean for people?

CDTO Campus is a strategically important project for Ukraine. After completing their studies with the mobile application, students will be able to become active participants in digital projects who can initiate and execute changes, form teams, and oversee projects crucial for Ukraine's digital future.
