Abstract
Today’s society demands a lot of time to carry out activities, but being busy is not synonymous with productivity. This statement has become important at university, where students spend time outside the classroom on activities that do not contribute significantly to their development. This paper presents LinkU, an IT (Information Technology) solution aimed at university schedule management. Identifying the different challenges when the students try to visualize their timetables, LinkU provides an intuitive and easy-to-use platform for quick and organized access to the users’ schedules. In addition to personal schedule management, LinkU allows its users to add friends, view their schedules, and check classroom availability on campus. This article examines the benefits and importance of adopting LinkU to enhance academic experience. The results show the potential impact of LinkU in optimizing time management and facilitating social engagement among students, contributing to their overall academic and personal well-being throughout their educational journey.
