Nebula Web is a tool for planning out students' college experience
Nebula Web allows students to plan out including coursework, co-curricular activities like studying abroad and research, and extracurricular involvement in student organizations. It does this with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that represents various college activities as blocks and displays them in semester groups.
Planning coursework poses a challenge for many.
From choosing the right professors to knowing when to take a class, schedule planning is the bane of any college student.
UTD students have access to tools like UTD Grades and Rate My Professors to help them pick classes for a specific semester, but there hasn't been a solution that allows a student to say, "I want to major in CS, minor in psychology, and do a few internships before grad school. Generating a plan lets me do all of that with the professors I want."
Until now, that is.
Nebula Web is an integrated solution designed to help students plan out their entire undergraduate experience in one place. It allows students to focus on ensuring their college experience holistically suits their desires and optimize for long-term success.
