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.

If this interests you please read on….

Of course, this software is being designed to meet a need in the School of Biblical Studies, however it will be flexible enough to facilitate almost any kind of online class.

To see the code, specifications, and documentation see the repository at: http://github.com/tompossin/studyworx

To get a (very)quick overview of how to get started developing for StudyWorx click here.

If you have any questions or are wondering if you have the skills to help with this. Please feel free to contact me. I would love to talk to anyone that is interested in the project. Even if it is just to offer your opinions and your feature requests.

Thanks,

If you are interested in helping me by logging in and registering please go to http://studyworx.net and sign up.

If you are a web designer or rails programmer I still need help. There is still much to do if StudyWorx is going to be fully released by fall.

To learn more about helping with this project click here.

1. Download the new version of QuickFrame Standalone. [Download]
2. This is the tricky part. You will need to expand the QuickFrame_Standalone.zip file into a folder that does not have a space in its name. It is usually best to create this folder right on the :c\ drive. The path to this folder should look something like this. :c\quickframe.
3. Once you have the .zip file expanded into this new location you are now ready to start the QuickFrame Standalone server. Open the folder and click on the blue start icon. This will create a small blue square with a number in it in your tray.
4. Click the small blue square and then click “start UniServer” from the menu that pops up.
5. Wait for a minute as the server starts, it should open your Internet Browser and take you to the UniServer home page. Near the middle of the page there is a link to open QuickFrame.
6. QuickFrame will open and the username and password should already be filled in. Click the login button and you ready to chart!

Enjoy!

Volunteers needed (SBS alumni??):

Although the coding is done – in order for the auto-population feature to work verse references and verse counts for every paragraph in the bible are going to need to be entered in. This is a very simple but highly repetitive job that I just can’t seem to correctly automate, so it has to be done the old fashioned way – by hand. Remember this is a free project if you have benefited by it in the past consider helping future students in this way.
Do you want to help?

If you would like to help please contact me from the Contact page of this site. Basically the job is filling out a form over and over again. with 3 simple pieces of info: Starting verse ref, ending verse ref, verse count for each paragraph in the ESV bible. There is a very good online version of this bible if you do not want to buy one just for this project. The process is quite streamlined and should bring back fond memories of doing paragraph titles for you SBS alumni out there.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

Changes for this version:

• New color scheme
• Improved new account security
• The ability to use multiple version of the bible (this was the big one)
• Updated Virtual QuickFrame Server with the new capabilities.

Revised Feature list:

• Students and Staff will be organized into “schools”
  • Each school will have:
    • It’s own grading system
    • Assignment specifications
    • And full online capabilities for completing, printing, and grading the assignments.
    • It can also be used as a simple chart framing program in the same way that QuickFrame is currently used
• Every effort will be made to make the work flow as smooth and simple as possible.
• Hopefully I will have a working prototype by fall (2007) and a release sometime in 2008.

If anyone has experience as a PHP or better yet Symfony programmer please feel free to contact me to help with this project.

StudyWorx is the name I am tentatively considering since it is going to be a comprehensive tool for the Inductive study of the Bible. Essentially, my goal is to create an entire school environment. This includes the ability to complete all assignments in StudyWorx if desired (creating frames will still be possible), grading, staff/student communications, and printing to pdf for the final product. Essentially I want to provide an infrastructure for schools to sign up and run their entire school from StudyWorx. I also want to be able to run an open, full featured, Online, school for anyone that wants to study the Bible Inductively.

If you think StudyWorx is a particularly good or bad name, or if you have a better idea, please comment on this article below, or write me a quick note here.
