So
im in a Business Systems class and for our final project we have to
make up a creative, either new or a new concept on an old idea,
e-business and need some input from people on demand
Our groups idea is to create a student networking site, like facebook,
but have it be purely academic. People input their schedule and school
and it friends them with people in their class or people in other
sections with the same professor. You could also network between
schools on similar classes. It would be used to be able to connect you
to others for help for homework or studying, help with group projects,
integrate skype or another video conferencing application so group
things could be done over the internet. There would be chat rooms
class specific so like the night before an exam or homework people
would join the chat room and get help. Professors could use it to to
post power point slides, notes, assignments, and could join the chats
too to offer help to many people at the same time, something that
really lacks with office hours. Instead of office hours a professor
could have chat room hours or whatever. I know a lot of people, like
me, would be more willing to get help from a professor or TA if it was
easily accessible and more convenient. This is just the basic idea
right now and will probably have some more features soo:
1. Would you use this service if it was free?
2. Would you pay for this service if it added some increased functionality and was popular and useful?
3. What would be some other good ideas to implement (we are trying to
steer clear of sites like Course Hero that lets students upload there
own stuff like homework and exams so others can use them, which is
cheating)?
4. Name suggestions? (ex. Storm your Studies, Better Education, The Student Library, Connection for Education...)
Thanks everyone for your input
