Starting up the Prototype

Our site is available at: http://18.95.5.87:8000.

Please email 6.813_ski_school_scheduler (at) mit.edu if you're having trouble viewing the site.

Description of the Prototype

The focus of our prototype is the calendar page.  Assume that it is the state of the instructor's calendar after their initial request for the entire season has been approved.  You will be able to log in to the prototype with the following username/password combinations:

• dsmith/dsmith (administrator)
• jjohn/jjohn (administrator)
• hjaminson/hjaminson (regular instructor)
• sseaborn/sseaborn (regular instructor)

Limitations

• The "submit request"/"submit" buttons currently simply redirect to the home page.  They do not make persistent those changes the user makes to the calendar.  This means that every time the calendar page is revisited, the user will see the same canned data.
• Currently, it allows users to schedule disciplines that don't exist during a given shift.  For example, Child Ski is never taught at Night, but the prototype allows the user to schedule Child Ski for the Night shift.  (Eventually, we plan to disable the buttons as needed to prevent users from scheduling disciplines that don't exist during a given shift.)
• The accept/reject radio buttons do not do anything right now.  Eventually, clicking on accept/reject will update the calendar view accordingly.
