Computer Science 3090 Dashboard
Project Abstract
Dr. Simanta Mitra teaches the course Computer Science 3090 at Iowa State University. Dr. Mitra uses Canvas, Gitlab, CATme, and datasheets to track student/group status. With numerous applications, organization and efficiency are hard to maintain. Dr. Mitra proposed a project, a dashboard that allows faculty to review students/groups grades, track attendance, review CATme results, review Gitlab activity, and track at-risk students. That project is our Computer Science 3090 Dashboard! Our final implementation is focused on the needs of the primary user, the professor (Dr. Mitra). Future additions can be made to the dashboard to help satisfy the specific needs of the secondary and tertiary users. Next implementation steps for a future senior design team are elucidated in great detail in the design document. Thank you Dr. Mitra for giving us the opportunity to create a dashboard that will benefit the faculty of Computer Science 3090, and possibly other courses in the future!Dashboard Demo
