Possible projects for CSC 480, suggested by Adelphi faculty and staff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fayth Vaughn-Shavuo Develop web site for PEACE Afterschool program ("Partnerships in Education to Avoid Criminal justice system Entry") "A site that spells out the PEACE mission of supporting and enriching the lives of children using pictures and video would be wonderful. Maybe, a pop up person could talk about the program and point to a donation button for contributions using a PayPal account?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicole Rudolph Enhance existing web site for International Leadership Coordinating Committee "We would like to have an interactive map available on our Adelphi website (http://global.adelphi.edu/), whereby a visitor to the website could click on a nation to see where members of the AU community come from, do research, or study abroad." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Devin Thornburg Enhance existing web site on human rights (currently maintained with SquareSpace) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terrence Ross Enhance existing web site for "Shared Roots" project http://sharedroots.net : * change sign-in procedure to not piggyback on LDAP, be accessible for non-Adelphi people * search ancestor listings * search postings by poster, text, etc. * create "groups" of users (e.g. Adelphi students, left-handed plumbers, ...) & easily see all posts from anybody in a given group * "claim" pre-posted photo as imaginary relative * interact w/pre-posted "iconic photos" * build family tree around an ancestor (password protected) * language translation * gamification Currently written in Ruby on Rails, so you'll need to learn that Adelphi has exclusive legal rights until some time in spring semester, so it can't go public until then ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Catherine Forker Develop web site for peer AIDS program, which trains 9th-10th-graders to be peer mentors. Target age group 12-18. Facts & myths; links to other reliable information sources User privacy is a big concern; site will probably not collect any information from users at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Susan Briziarelli Develop Web site for LGS analogous to wannado.com : post what you want to accomplish and check off publicly when you've done it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nirav Soni Develop minimal practice-management software for psychotherapy practice "I'm looking for some practice management software to manage my private psychotherapy practice. What I need is a calendar, a way to schedule and record patients who come to or miss appointments, log that data and have it generate a weekly or monthly bill, as well as create a record of progress notes for any particular patient. There is practice management software out there that does this, but it is mostly designed for medical professionals who have much more complicated record keeping needs than I do." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melissa VanAlstine-Parris Develop virtual lab for organic-chemistry class (as preparation for actual lab); get ideas from "Cengage LabSkills" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Curinga Develop web-based Python programming practice site, which Curinga has already started (uses Python & Django). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geoffrey Ream Develop data-entry program that enters data from paper surveys (just checkboxes) into a spreadsheet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Cortina Design database for keeping track of grants and IRB proposals (currently in Excel spreadsheets) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Francoeur Build Web app to do a statistical analysis invented by Dr. Francoeur, the Extended Zero Slopes Comparison (EZSC). See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3418703/ for an article describing the technique.
