DITC Swiki
Programming To Do

HTML Edits 10.14.03
1. MOVE the text and documents, but not the movie, from "specific/parachute/taskOverview/parChallenge.html" to "specific/parachute/index.html".
2. MOVE the movie where Ed introduces the parachute challenge on page "specific/parachute/taskOverview/parChallenge.html" to page generic/teachingStrategies/introDesignTask.html
3. Add two movies to the generic/teachingStrategies/introDesignTask.html" page: introPar.mov and earlDemo.mov. Discard the transcript, but make sure it remains available on the Movie List page.
4. In the green navigation bar found on specific/parachute/index.html and elsewhere, DROP Task Overview from the navigation bar and DELETE the page. (Content for this page is located on the Parachute Index page.)
5. There are some inconsistencies within Parachute folder for this bar. The green bar should read: Intro to Learning By Design Teacher & School Intros Tech Ed Video Timeline Science Timelines Key Concepts Student Work.
6. Make the name "David Barlex" on page "generic > teachingStrategies > index" clickable and link to his discussion of the philosophy of Nuffield D&T.
7. Change the name of "generic" folder to "designProcess" and "specific" folder to "designTasks"

10.10.03
1. Fix bad icon to the left of bottom navigation row on page cardboard chair > videoTime > 1/4-scale chairs.
2. Move the still of Ed from half-scale over here, and put at the top – "Movie Coming Soon" but leave the time area below the picture blank. I'll write something about what the activity is, but we will make the film later in the year.
3. Drop the Movie Coming Soon picture from the following pages: Half-Scale, Full-Scale, and Final Presentations.


8.11.03
1. Go to Getting Started > How To Use DITC. Notice that this is divided up into sections. Let's make this a three-level hierarchy instead of two with a long scrolling window. There should be four sections, with titles that read: "Navigating DITC", "Playing Movies", "DITC in CD, DVD" and finally "System & Software You Need".
2. For the new "Playing Movies" page, get the most current version of the movie that Bryan made for me for use in Greece, which shows how to play movies, rather than using stills.
3. The second instance of this, where we should take the above approach, is Getting Started > Key Features. Save this for when the interface gets updated, and then I need for you to remind me to rewrite this section, so that the two main divisions of the software are clearly defined and spelled out.
4. These pages have broken links to their movies: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/taskOverview/learningByDesign.html, ...parachuteChallenge.html
5. A third instance, similar to 1 and 2 above, is Design Process > Design Tutorial. Please break this up into another row of choices – use the following titles: Design Streategies; Hand-Mind Interactions; Spiral Design Cycle; LBD™ Cycle
6. Correct the misspelled word "beginnig" on page http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/designProcess/designMisunder.html.

2. Buttons on Login page: Login as User | Login as Guest | Become ...
3. Change graphic that blocks playing movies to read "Please Login As User To View DITC Movies"
4. When in Guest realm, the top line messages should read "Welcome Guest! | Login As User | Logout"

6.17.03
1. Misspelling in the last title near the bottom of the Movie List. "Introductino and Overview of Curricula in DITC" - FIXED
2. You had indicated that this had been done previously – did it get lost? DONE (HCD 1.30.02)1.29.03 For the page gettingStarted>keyFeatures, partition the text and images so that when using different browsers the text does not get too separated from the image it is supposed to go along with.
Design Process > Design Tutorial might be a model for doing this.
READY FOR YOU TO LOOK AT
3. The navigation text for the subsubPages, as with Key Concepts>How Parachute Work, shifts when a bullet is present or not. Can this be done without shifting?
FIXED (I THINK)
4. Improve error message when a user logs in. FIXED
5. Bullets are displayed erroneously as an ï instead of a ? in the main page of Student Work. FIXED
6. Check out different shades of black in upper left-hand corner of DITC main logo. FIXED
7. Instead of putting "Welcome, Member" outside the perimeter of DITC's page, could you put "Welcome and the first name of the member" near the top of upper left-hand corner of DITC main logo. Use a color already at work for the font. Helvetica or some sansserif font. READY FOR YOU TO LOOK AT
8. Change font color for "Click Here" on opening page http://cgi3-int.cc.gatech.edu/php/projects/ditc/login.php. FIXED
9. Shorten time delay upon initial entry into DITC site. FIXED
10. Make sure Guests cannot see movies. FIXED
11. Put gifs of all the main Tabs to left of text in Key DITC Features page.
Implement the Key DITC Features page as a table, as discussed.

Still working on the hover menu. I havent been able to position it correctly on the screen, but you can see my progress so far here: (best viewd with Netscape, I believe)

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/dev/testMenu




6.02.03
Finished the encryption portion of login system. Is ready for you to critique.

5.30.03 Move all contents within "Gender & Designing" from Student Work to Design Process. Move all contents within "Student Ideas & Designs" from Key Concepts to Student Work. Move all contents within "Design Strategies" from Student Work to Design Process. Finally, change the name of the subItem "Naive Design Strategies" found under Design Process to "Naive Designers".
5.30.03 Make a link from page "http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/studentWork/compareDrops.html" to "http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/videoTimelines/index.html" by making the words "Video Timeline" clickable on the former page.
5.22.03 Make Movie List and Site Map global (see pages for Nuffield and Challenges...

5.22.03
I have a "working" login system - though far from complete. You may visit
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/dev/login.html

to see - there is also a link the registration page on the login page, so you can view it too. The main problem right now is security. Its got a few loopholes in it that need to be fixed. We have to submit the scripts to the CoC to be put on the external server so they may be viewed outside of Georgia Tech's network. In order to do that, they must be completely secure. So thats something for me to continue working on.

5.22.03
I have completed the pages that have the video comparisons - I put them in temp directories so they wouldnt overwrite the current pages before you approve. One of them has a border around the video's - its just an idea - I can easily take it off. Here are the addresses:

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/dev/studentWorkTemp/compDrop.html

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/dev/studentWorkTemp/studentInt.html

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/dev/designProcessTemp/whatIsDesign.html

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/DITC/dev/assessStandards/transferTasks.html

5.22.03 Find a fix to the hover-text-expansion problem.

5.21.03
Give me the date of video erlDmSrt.mov – and tell me if it is later than Dec 4 02 that I have on my machine. Where is the list of latest versions on Swiki?
