This web application was developed by College of Informatics students from Northern Kentucky University, in a special topics experiential learning course taught during the Summer 2020 term.
Experiential learning courses place students in real-world scenarios using industry-standard tools — working with clients to scope and deliver an end-to-end solution — in order to be better prepared for entry into the workplace.
The students in this course worked with the client to develop:
- requirements documentation;
- wireframes
- entity relationship diagrams
- SQL
- source code
The team of students created this mobile-first web application based in PHP, JQuery, Bootstrap, CSS and HTML. It consists of features such as:
- Private system using email for invites
- User management
- Multiple user levels
- User profiles
- Mobile camera photo uploads with user-controlled cropping
- Event and race management interface
- Multi-season results tracking per user
- Hall of fame
