week twenty-seven...
OCTOBER 16th - FEBRUARY 16TH

     this week,  i :
      • emailed nineteen UT Psychology Lab professors about upgrading their website's UI
      • began migrating university websites from Drupal and WordPress to Pantheon with Dev Team
      • ran tests on Canvas' Tower Tools Dashboard application1 using BrowserStack2
      • met with Stacy to discuss tasks prioritization regarding Texas 
        Domestic Slave Trade Projects' From Slavery to Freedom website

     impediments :
          • when testing audio playback in Canvas' video stream, B-Stack3 :
            
            • omits volume control functionality for mobile browser testing and
              defaults all of its cloud-linked devices to a standard listening volume
            • eliminates audio transmission altogether
              for Samsung devices via its web browsers
          • after testing unsupported web browsers in B-Stack, :
            
              • UC Browser Turbo4 does not load the Dashboard application's
                main course page; still troubleshooting
              • we're considering local device testing as a work-around

       

          • 1 Canvas' Dashboard Application is responsible for UT courses' online video stream and live communication.
            2 BrowserStack is a cloud-based testing platform that is compatible with multiple web browsers across a variety of devices.
            3 B-Stack is a term coined by me as to serve as an abbreviation for BrowserStack. s/o to Gretch, I made fetch happen.
            4 UC Browser Turbo is a web browser

Week 14

14 going on 30

  JULY 18th – 21st

 

I did CSS training using the Adolescent Health and Academic Achievement Study website. I drafted some new designs in Figma and began applying my ideas by editing the site’s CSS files. My end goal is to redesign the website and configure its responsiveness for mobile devices.

 

 

I encountered a setback while working on my website design. The initial concept I had in mind for the navigation menu didn’t align properly with my plan user responsiveness. Although it was a setback, I am determined to overcome this challenge and ensure that my website meets the desired expectations.
