-====== Project Brainstorming ======
+====== Overview of Projects ======
-Work in progress for figuring out team projects.  These notes probably won't make sense to anyone but me.
+Throughout the term, each student will work in one of three teams on one of the following projects.  The projects will be accessible to the world at completion of the course so that you can include them in your portfolio for employers.
+The [[http://www.cs.wlu.edu/~sprenkle/cs335/project.php|general requirements]] for the project are available on the main course web site.
 ===== Voluntary Associations =====
-  * Client: [[http://academic.mu.edu/bond/|Sarah Bond]], assistant professor of history at Marquette University
+  * Client: [[http://academic.mu.edu/bond/|Dr. Sarah Bond]], assistant professor of history at Marquette University
-  * Goal: Create an interface to make ancient inscriptions easily editable, searchable, and exportable
+  * 5 team members
+  * Final Deliverable: An interface to make ancient inscriptions (focusing on the voluntary associations) easily editable, searchable, and exportable
+    * public views - searching, viewing, exporting
+    * administrative views - edit
+  * Expected skills/technology leveraged during project: database access, manipulation, and updates; user interaction; access restrictions; usability; digital humanities
+  * Extensions: mapping, dynamic interaction, what can we learn?
   * {{:voluntary_associations:collegium_project_proposal.pdf|Collegium Project Proposal}} - a vision for the project
-  * 5 team members
+  * Expected audience: scholars and students of the ancient world can use the tool to learn new information about the time period
+  * [[courses:cs335:spring2013:voluntary_associations:home|Voluntary Associations Development Home]]
 ===== Graffiti Project =====
   * Client: [[http://www.wlu.edu/x24916.xml?InsertFile=x23923|Rebecca Benefiel]], associate professor of classics at Washington and Lee University
-  * An alternative search interface to the [[http://www.edr-edr.it/English/introduc_en.php|EAGLE]] database, focused on inscriptions found in Pompeii and Herculaneum
+  * 4 team members
+  * Final Deliverable: An alternative search interface to the [[http://www.edr-edr.it/English/introduc_en.php|EAGLE]] database, focusing on inscriptions found in Pompeii and Herculaneum
     * Goal: Look at the inscriptions in context of the location
   * Prototype will be demoed at [[http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Linked_Ancient_World_Data_Institute|Linked Ancient World Data Institute (LAWDI)]] at the end of May
-  * Extensions: Mapping component
+  * Expected skills/technology leveraged during project: database access, manipulation, updates; remote database access; user interaction; usability; digital humanities
-  * 4 team members
+  * Extension: Dynamic searching features
+  * Extension: Mapping component
-===== Registrar Project(s) =====
+  * Extension: mining data for new information
+    * relative numbers of text vs drawings?
-===== NSF Reports =====
+    * size of inscriptions?
+    * What do you think would be interesting?
-National Science Foundation grant winners have to submit annual reports to NSF.  The report describes the various activities and results from the past year.  Often winners get to that time, and forget what all they did that year.
+  * Expected audience: scholars and students of Pompeii and Herculaneum can use the tool to learn more about the culture at the time of Vesuvius's eruption.
+  * [[courses:cs335:spring2013:graffiti:home|Ancient Graffiti Development Home]]
-They need a way to enter activities, tag them based on the nsf research.gov
-categories of where it will get reported in the final report, and any other information
-about the task, e.g., when complete, who completed it, how many people involved,...
-Then when they have to write the report, they could search on particular tags for certain date ranges and get a start of a report of activities that they can then just smooth out into paragraphs.
-It would be a web interface that is private to only those people we are
-allowed to enter data and create reports, basically the PIs on the grant.
-Categories of activities:
+===== Visual Course Scheduler =====
-    * education
-    * research
+  * Client: Sara Sprenkle
-    * outreach
+  * Team Members: 5
-    * publications
+  * Final Deliverable: a visual course scheduler that makes it easy for students to visualize possible course schedules/alternatives
-    * outcomes
+    * Don't look at [[http://www.vsbuilder.com/demo2/|this]] until after you have started thinking about your ideas
+    * Challenge: viewing a variety of schedules and clearly marked conflicts
+  * Expected skills: database access, manipulation; user interaction; usability; dynamic behavior
+  * Extensions:
+    * dynamic user interaction
+    * closed courses, waitlisted courses
+    * export schedules into some alternative form (iCal?  Google calendar?)
+    * ??? My guess is that the students will have a lot of ideas
+  * Expected audience: W&L students and faculty
+  * [[courses:cs335:spring2013:course_scheduler:home|Course Scheduler Development Page]]
-I have an example report, but I don't want to post it online.
-Could use similar fields/information for W&L faculty's Faculty Activity Reports.
