Summary: provide a brief summary of the research aim and why this is important . We’d like to propose research into how QUT students, specifically first years, seek support through QUT channels with the aim to improve student’s mental health. Specifically, we’d like to conduct qualitative research that would develop an understanding of both QUT students and the QUT apps Help section. This understanding would yield critical insights into the affectivity of the app, articulating any gaps between the user experience and their needs. This is critical as currently, according to Eleanor R. Burgess and co’s academic study, technological affordances that aid in managing mental illnesses have low adoption rates and fail to integrate with the lifestyle of their target audience. Emily G. Lattie and fellow authors of the academic article “Technology and College Student Mental Health: Challenges and Opportunities” articulate just how critical counselling and other student support systems are in managing and maintaining mental health amongst students. A clear need from students for these online resources yet a low adoption rate indicate a gap between the user and the service, one that Scott Myers and co, in “Development of a student-driven information technology support service” offer a critical solution to. By rebuilding student services with feedback and participation from the students they were able to close this gap, in turn, creating a far more effective service. It’s our ambition to follow these examples and through our proposed research yield insights that would improve this app. 2.
