-====== 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.

-  * Goal: Create an interface to make ancient inscriptions easily editable, searchable, and exportable
+  * 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: DB manipulation, user interaction, access restrictions
+  * Expected skills/technology leveraged during project: database access, manipulation, and updates; user interaction; access restrictions; usability; digital humanities
-  * Extensions: mapping, dynamic interaction,
+  * Extensions: mapping, dynamic interaction, what can we learn?
   * {{:voluntary_associations:collegium_project_proposal.pdf|Collegium Project Proposal}} - a vision for the project
+  * Expected audience: scholars and students of the ancient world can use the tool to learn new information about the time period

+  * 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

-===== NSF Reports =====
+    * Challenge: viewing a variety of schedules and clearly marked conflicts
+  * Expected skills: database access, manipulation; user interaction; usability; dynamic behavior
-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.
+  * Extensions:
+    * dynamic user interaction
-They need a way to enter activities, tag them based on the nsf research.gov
+    * closed courses, waitlisted courses
-categories of where it will get reported in the final report, and any other information
+    * export schedules into some alternative form (iCal?  Google calendar?)
-about the task, e.g., when complete, who completed it, how many people involved,...
+    * ??? My guess is that the students will have a lot of ideas
+  * Expected audience: W&L students and faculty
-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.
+  * [[courses:cs335:spring2013:course_scheduler:home|Course Scheduler Development Page]]
-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:
-    * education
-    * research
-    * outreach
-    * publications
-    * outcomes
-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.
