- May 2022 Update
Progress:
- Centered the “Go” and “Clear” buttons on the Kids-U site and moved them to the bottom of the selection box to avoid user errors
- Changed the “Site Coordinator” dropdown option to “OKM” (On-Site Kids-U Manager) on the staff page of the website
- Met with Shawn Weisfeld to gain a better understanding of the database’s functions, understood the disparity between the EPICS and Kids-U copies of the repository, and discussed ways to resolve it.
Goals for the Semester:
- Complete the poster and final report with project details, as well as provide complete information and references for future teams.
- Present our project to the partner and the judges, as well as discuss the progress we have made this semester at the EPICS exhibition
- Meet with Mr. Weisfeld to merge the team branch on a public repository with the main branch, fix any migrations and runtime errors, and archive the EPICS repository.
- April 2022 Update
Progress:
- Met with our mentor, Terrence Jones, and discussed ways to fix the database sorting function that fails to display the students by grade in the correct order
- Gained a better understanding of the code and the database
- Found a user manual located on the website under “Help”, which eliminated the need to provide the partner with a handbook on using the database
Goals for April:
- Center the “Go” and “Clear” buttons on the Kids-U site and move them to the bottom of the selection box to avoid user errors
- Change the “Site Coordinator” dropdown option to “OKM” (On-Site Kids-U Manager) on the staff page of the website
Goals for Semester:
- Fix the sorting for “Grade Ascending” and “Grade Descending” to correctly sort the kindergarten students in the list
- Remove the edit page and replace it with the required fields on the edit page form
If time permits, we intend to create a forgot password function that will allow users to create a new password if they forget their previous one, as well as look into the online form.
- March 2022 Update
Progress:
- Gained access to student database
- Gained access to website code via GitHub
- Fixed the database sorting function (user error)
- Finished project plan and charter
Goals for the rest of March:
- Meet with mentor (Terrence Jones) to understand code line by line, which will require a functional understanding of C# and the ASP.NET MVC Framework
Goals for rest of semester (database project requirements):
- On the staff page, people with the roses listed as “Site Coordinator” need to change to OKM (On-site Kids-U Manager.
- Limit amount of information shown when getting fluency test reports to only: full name, grade, gender, score on test
- When pulling testing the spreadsheet should show all students and not just the students who were tested. This allows Kids-U to know who has been tested and who has not.
- Give the partner a handbook/guideline on using the database
We have recently realized that understanding the given code may be more difficult than we estimated. As a result, we may have to leave the completion of part 2 of our project, the online form, to a future team.
- May 2021 Update
- Finished the data entry section of the databasem including student enrollment, outcome measurements, and report cards.
- Finished the management section of the webpage, with sub-sections including program sites (states the active operating locations), schools, school districts, oragnizations (sponsors for Kids-U), staff directory, and a help page (includes a description for what each sub-section is)
