STA Blog

Emails, documentation, and WordPress!

October 1, 2019 By Kevin Dao

Hello there,

 

Here’s another timely blog post (sorry Suloni, I’ll get better!) regarding what I’ve been doing!

 

  1. Proposal to Professor Raizen
    • After much excavation and researching about the Hebrew course’s flash modules, I pitched the idea of overhauling the course by using Quizlet. Here’s what I mean:
    • This module involves simply filling in the blank by selecting the right vocab word. Applying this to Quizlet, we could have one side of the flashcard be the sentence with the fill-in-the-blank field, and the other side of the flashcard be the correct vocab word.
    • I wrote up a formal proposal email to Dean Raizen listing out the perks of switching over the modules to Quizlet, and am still working on getting her input!
  2. Documentation for CLIO
    • Since CLIO is a fairly tricky tool to use, Chloe and Suloni wanted me to write documentation on how to visually style the assignment pages to enhance learning.
    • After writing the first draft, I got a ton of feedback from Suloni about how to write better documentation while giving more context, and so I’m still making revisions to the page right now.
  3. WordPress – Life and Letters
    • This is an exciting project that I was recently assigned to and will be working with Stacy on. No visuals just yet as I’ve just been onboarded but I’m super excited to learn more about web dev!
    • Project Introduction:
      • Project: Redesign of Life and Letters webpage
        Client: Life and Letters readers; Allen Quigley
        Completion Status: Started Sept. 30
        Staff Guidance: Stacy Vlasits
        STA Team Members: N/A
        Plans: Recreate the webpage by working with CSS, WordPress, PHP (?!), and HTML.
        To be completed: By the end of this year? (Not too sure about this)

 

Until next time~
