StudyWorx passes it first large scale test

Posted on by

Подарък иконамека мебеликониStudyWorx went live as the infrastructure for the School of Biblical Studies in Montana on Sep. 21st 2010. Today after five months of everyday use by real staff and students I am happy to report that the system is working well. Having actual students pounding on the program day and night has revealed quite a number of previously undiscovered issues, but none of them fatal and as of last night all serious bugs have been cleared from the issues list.

Obviously work continues and the list of desired features and optimizations continues to grow. However, it has been an encouraging test. The feedback from both staff and students alike has been positive and I am currently looking for more help to take this program to the next level.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those that have helped make this first roll-out a success.

Web Developers Wanted

If you are a web developer, especially if you have Ruby on Rails or graphical design skills, I would love to have your help with the web application I am developing to replace QuickFrame. This new application is called StudyWorx since it is designed to do much more than simply create blank chart frames. It is designed to be a complete study environment where a student can fully complete their studies online, including grading and communication with teaching staff. Essentially it is a framework for running online schools.

Feature Review of StudyWorx

спалняLast Night the first feature complete version of StudyWorx was launched for final testing. I thought this would be a good time to review just what this program is able to do compared to a program like QuickFrame.

QuickFrame was designed to do just one thing – create blank chart images for inductive bible study. StudyWorx started there and began to expand these capabilities to include the entire charting process. However by the time I had built enough features into StudyWorx to do this I realized that I was just a couple features away from having a complete online education package. I realized the advantage of this and pressed on. It has been three years but StudyWorx is now a complete online education platform.

Having trouble getting your password email?

In the world of never ending spam email providers are getting more and more aggressive in filtering spam. In the past when people were not receiving their QuickFrame password emails all they had to do was look in their junk mail folder. However, I am now getting many reports that these emails are not only getting filtered but in many cases being destroyed before anyone can look at them.

Due to numerous problems with the last version of the QuickFrame stand alone server for MAC. I have reworked it on a new foundation. I have replaced the xampp server package with a new server package called MAMP. I have not been able to extensively test it yet but all my initial tests seem to indicate that this package will solve the problems with the previous one.

Getting Started with the QuickFrame StandAlone Server for Mac

Because of the difficulty and expense of reliable Internet connections in some places I have added a stand alone version of QuickFrame for the MAC. The QuickFrame StandAlone server will allow you to use QuickFrame on your Mac computer without an Internet connection. Now whether you use a mac or a PC you can use QuickFrame with or without the Internet.

You can be using it in 6 easy steps:
