Computer Support recently ordered FileMaker Pro 10 Server and 5 copies of the FileMaker applications in support of the upgrade of the photography program's equipment checkout system and web curriculum database. Ira Gardner will be installing the server software on the SFCC-GD-2 server and will be coordinating the updating of the the old databases to the new format. The project will be completed during Spring quarter and will be fully operational by years end..
The SFCC Photography curriculum web database was the first online database developed at SFCC by Ira Gardner back in 1998 and has been in continuous operation since that time. The system includes a complete student management system including class rosters and grading as well as student web access to assignments and other resource links.
The new system will be made available for any AVA faculty member interested in using it and will feature a web browser interface that will make it easier for faculty and students from any AVA program to reserve equipment as needed. This project will fulfill a department strategic plan item that has been on the books for more than three years.
Future projects may include developing databases for data driven sites developed in the Web Design and Journalism program.
