A publicly available Intranet information center for students who use the CAPS computer labs.


CAPS Online Calendar System

The Main Calendar Page  A Page returned by selecting a week and room combination.

The Continuing & Professional Studies Online Calendar System was designed by Emmanuel Hill to serve as the planning center for scheduling classes, classroom installations and for scheduling works on Mr. Hill's staff.  This website is also, a public intranet accessible only from the Baruch College campus.

The Public web page is accessible by clicking on the "planner" icon at the top of the Studentscs Web Page.  Selection of the "planner" link returns the page presented to the left (above).

Once a user selects a Room for viewing, they are presented with a range of weeks.  Selection of a week presents the classes scheduled to take place in that room during that period.  The image on the right (above), presents a typical weeks activity in the selected room.  The page itself is generated using an ASP generated script which links to the main SQL Database which is the heart of the Calendar System.

Visitors to the site see formatted HTML pages generated via ASP script, however, the Network Manger and his Assistant interacts with another page generated with ASP script which allows certain maintenance tasks such as adding, dropping or simply moving classes.

 

 

The page also presents at a glance the scheduled Instructor and Lab Assistant if assigned.  This page is composed of many hyperlinks which point too actual "classroom appointments," which are generated from another ASP page which is directly connected using ODBC to the SQL database.

 

The "classroom appointment" page allows every aspect of the event to be entered and contains convenient drop down lists to facilitate easy selection of existing classes which are then correlated with the proper course title. 

Once a course has been selected, the administrator has the option to pick a date and room, which the database validates to prevent "double-booking." 

User options allow changing of the number of sessions, Instructors, Lab Assistants, special comments and textbooks (if indicated by the Main Office).  This same page serves as the means to make updates, additions (such as make-up sessions) or simply to cancel a class.
