Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our company has been serving thousands of teachers and students for decades. However, our current website is outdated and requires updating. We would like to collaborate with students to update some landing pages that help users navigate the site and find up-to-date information.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Identifying and researching useful web pages and code that can be used as models to update our current web pages.
- Updating current pages on the website (forward facing and behind our login/ firewall), with our assistance in providing the content.
- Reviewing and updating old web pages to ensure consistency of information.
Bonus steps in the process would also include:
- Recommending potential upgrades or features that can be included in the website
In addition to required updates (if not already completed by another intern), we are also looking for students to integrate our platform within two third party vendor platforms. Platform information and detailed instructions will be provided. *Please see the linked resources for instructions to gauge whether this task is feasible for you.
