Videre was my ITP project at Gov School.

Contents

Dilemma

  • Typical grade databases are boring
  • All you see are assignments given and grade received: They do not offer any grade interpretations
  • Generic information: There is no way to see your grade over time or see your tendencies or a pattern to your work effort or anything.
  • For parents, they usually don’t know how the student is doing in school unless they inquire regularly.

Videre is the SOLUTION

  • Engaging layout
  • Displays graphs and trends
  • Interprets grades and provides advanced statistics
  • Alerts parents as to how child is progressing
  • Shows student how they need to perform to succeed

Technical Information

  • Currently only a Proof of Concept
  • Builds upon an existing online grade books
  • Uses its database and authentication
  • Written in PHP
  • Graphs using PHP-SWF library
  • Right now uses our own test database

Authentication

Obstacles to Development

  • Communicating effectively at times
  • Motivation and focus
  • Showing up for meetings
  • Sleep
  • Mandatory Fun Activities

If only we had more time…

Per assignment “what if” feature Student “tips” feature PHP 5 object oriented Unit testing Backtracing Implement with real grade book
