Web Application Design

Univeristy Degree Regulations (PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS)

The University of Edinburgh Degree Regulations and Programs of Study is an ongoing project to place all of the University's course and degree information online. The current online version was produced entirely by me during a one year contract with the University.

Group Selection Tool (CFM, MS Access, Perl, WebCT)

The Group Selection Tool was a major project at the University of Edinburgh extending the functionality of the WebCT VLE by adding the facility to create arbitary groups of students for essays, classes, supervisors and so forth. The tool is integrated with WebCT, and supports transparent authentication from within WebCT. The tool is mainly written in Cold Fusion and SQL Server, but also involved server-side perl scripting from within WebCT.

SWAP Football Challenge (CFM, MS Access)

This is a series of Football based quizzes designed for SWAP, an organisation supporting mature students trying to get into higher education. The quizzes test Scottish football knowledge while also assessing core skills that might be useful in higher education. It is designed to lead users into the main SWAP site by demonstrating that they have more skills than they might believe. It is implemented in ColdFusion and Access.

Event Index (CFM, MS Access)

This was another major project at the University of Edinburgh, providing a customisable tool for advertising events being run by multiple departments. As well as advertising it provides online booking, event administration, email facilities and reporting. The system is designed so that the page appearance is controlled by templates, so that the same information can be presented in the house style of multiple departments and units.

The site also includes a syndicated news feed system. This displays news feeds from multiple E-Learning related sites. This uses XML, XSLT and CFM.
