In addition to our featured projects, below is a sample of some of the other projects we have been working on:
Course Syllabi Project
This application allows faculty to add a link to their syllabi directly from the online class schedule. This will allow students to make more informed choices when selecting their classes.
UBThisSummer
For 2005, the look and feel of the UBThisSummer site was updated. In addition, the code was rewritten to utilize web standards of XHTML for structure and CSS for presentation.
Pre-Advising Modules
To guide incoming freshman through the academic orientation process, a series of three web-based teaching modules were created using web standards.
2005-2006 Undergraduate Catalog
In addition to the yearly stylistic updates, the catalog now includes a listing of all undergraduate faculty generated from the oracle database that drives the catalog, At-a-Glance and academic bridge page sites. This site is featured on the Web Standards Project's Education Task Force's Resources Page.
