Progres Report (Week of 2/08-2/15)

What I accomplished the past week:
The teachers flagged comments table is operational; all flagged comments will appear within that new table. The accept and list of users who flagged that particular comment button is now operational.

What I plan to do next week:
I plan to set up the feature to allow teachers the option of moderating comments or to allow users to moderate their own comments.

Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 2/01-2/08)

What I accomplished the past week:
The flag option on comments is now operational. That comment will now be sent to the teacher for further review, with the user who decided to flag it. The teacher will have the option of removing that comment, or just leaving it as is.

What I plan to do next week:
I plan to continue fixing up the comments and then working on adding the delete button to other places within the system.

Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 1/25-2/01)

What I accomplished the past week:
The galleries page is now up, which lists all classrooms that are visible to the public. The pcsdt projects that use the new csdt core can now be uploaded to the site. Users can now place a rating for each individual comment on someone's project page. Finally, I have re-changed some of the database schema for the projects and classrooms tables to make it easier for setting up the management of comments.

What I plan to do next week:
I plan to continue working on getting the management of comments up.

Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 12/14-12/21)

What I accomplished the past week:
I have created a classroom home page template that will be generated for each individual classroom that is added. For that classroom home page, I have added the options for viewing all students in the class as well as all projects that are uploaded to the class. Some admin privileges have been implemented including managing of students and editing of classroom description.

What I plan to do next week:
The remaining parts to allow the site to go live, will be the completion of the galleries page and the implementation of admin privileges for comments. I believe this can be done in two weeks.

Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 12/07-12/14)

What I accomplished the past week:
I have allowed users the choice of uploading their projects to only one specific classroom and for whether or not their project can be viewed publicly. I have decided that users in the same classroom can view both public and private comments for each project. This means that if the project is seen by a user not in the classroom, they will not be able to see comments made by users from the classroom unless, those users decide to make the comments viewable to the public. Finally, I am working on creating a home page for each individual classroom.

What I plan to do next week:
Still in the process of integrating a classroom home page, privacy issues of user's projects, and admin authority over comments.

Other:
I will be leaving campus Thursday December 15, and will not be back until the beginning of next semester. I will still be working on this project and will continue posting a weekly progress report. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the site, send me an email, and I will try to reply back as soon as possible.

Concerns:
None

Progress Report (Week of 11/30-12/07)

What I accomplished the past week:
I have been working on adding the option for users to determine where their project should be uploaded (uploaded publicly or to a specific classroom). This would then allow projects and their comments to be either be sand-boxed within a classroom, or visible to the public.

What I plan to do next week:
Continue working on the getting the projects and comments sand-boxed from the public.

Concerns:
None
