Interactive Social Media Impact & Student Wellness Dashboard
Project Overview
In an age dominated by social media, understanding its real-world impact is crucial for individuals and institutions alike. To explore this, I designed and developed a comprehensive, fully interactive dashboard in Microsoft Excel that analyzes the complex relationship between social media usage, student wellness, and academic performance.
This project transforms raw data into a powerful, easy-to-navigate visual story, providing nuanced insights at a glance. The dashboard is built to empower users to explore trends, identify correlations, and understand user behavior patterns effectively.
Key Features & Insights
Dynamic & Interactive Interface: The dashboard is equipped with slicers and a navigation panel, allowing users to seamlessly filter data and switch between different report views such as 'Overview', 'Student Social-Media Addiction', and 'Previous Year Data'.
Holistic Wellness Metrics: Goes beyond simple usage statistics by tracking custom-developed KPIs like an 'Addicted Score', 'Mental Health (Avg) Score', and 'Academic Score' to provide a 360-degree view of student well-being.
Multi-Dimensional Analysis: Provides a deep dive into various facets of social media impact, including:
Platform popularity and average daily usage (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp).
The perceived effect of social media on personal relationships.
Demographic breakdowns, such as addiction scores by age group.
Geospatial analysis of academic performance across different countries.
Advanced Data Visualization: Utilizes a diverse range of charts—including bar charts, pie charts, donut charts, and a choropleth map—to represent complex data in an intuitive and visually compelling manner.
