- Description/Abstract:
- Nexum is a web application that gives students a place to communicate and share resources online. According to several studies, a lack of resources and an inability to make friends in class are two of the most prevalent reasons students drop out. Melanie Hanson's study for the Education Data Initiative (2021) found that 13% of students drop out of college due to poor social fit and 3% due to mental/emotional issues. The solution to these problems is to develop a web application that allows students to connect with one another on a website where they can write posts and conduct one-on-one chats with classmates and mentors. This online application would also provide students with a centralized location in which they could find and access all the resources they could need. Nexum will require the development of a database to store all the postings that the students will make as well as the one-on-one chats. Both the data and the website will be hosted on Azure. Finally, Nexum is a platform where students can have private chats and get the resources they need to succeed in their academic courses in a safe and secure environment.
