(27-31) Thang Truong

Project 1: Polls

Started on: Jan 27th, 2024

Staff Guidance: Chris Pittman

Description: The aim of this project is to incorporate the PDF integration into UT Instapoll. This features help student to download all of the poll responses as a study guide for a test. The PDF study guide comprises all of the questions, answers and the correct answer choices.

Documenting my thought process for this project. There will be two parts:

  1. Creating the route, the controller, the blade template.
  2. Transform the Blade Template into PDF

1. Create the route, the controller and the blade template:

Route: This step establishes the URL end point to let the user access to get the PDF. For this, I chose teacher/course/1/poll_pdf.

Controller: The controller part controls the logic of back-end behind this operation. It will get the polls from the database so that I can access the question, response and the correct answer choices.

Blade Template: The blade template displays the HTML with all of the poll responses and correct responses. The template for the PDF is still in consideration.

HTML Result: The result looks something like this.

2. Part 2 is still in progress

This part, I still need to integrate the library to get PDF integration working.

Project 2: Qualtrics-LTI

Started on: Jan 20th, 2024

Finished on: Jan 27th, 2024
