National Economic Education Database : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The project to develop the National Economic Education Database has one major goal: to offer a tool that economics educators can utilize to identify materials to enhance their teaching process. To facilitate that goal, I was tasked to design a database product to accommodate storing reviews of materials and allowing searches of the database of reviews. Actually developing the product involved three goals: to design, develop, and distribute a product allowing the entry of reviews; to design, develop, and distribute a product allowing searches on the database; and to design, develop, and implement a product allowing maintenance of the database. The following text describes the project from beginning to end, including history, plans and successful results of the project.
