Project Description:

Background: our client was originally using a paper version of these challenges. She wanted to turn it into an actual web application where users could easily sign in and input their data for that day for each challenge.

Solving the Problem
Our problem to solve was “automate her current paper system”. This took multiple meetings with the client to understand exactly what she wanted. Once we had a good idea of what she wanted the application to look like we began coding.

Lessons Learned
Along the way we learned a lot about group work and how to deal with problems.

How the Application Works
Step 1: Create an account. When you are creating an account you enter your name, your email, phone number and password, you also select from a drop down what workplace you are in.
Step 2: Login. Users enter their email and password.
Step 3: Challenge page. Once a user has logged in they land on the challenge page where they can either click on add challenge or select a challenge they are already enrolled in.
Step 4: Add challenge. a user can add any number of challenges that are already created. Users also have the ability to create a habit/personal challenge.
Step 5: Tracking page. Once a user has selected a challenge they can now see a calendar where they can select any day and log data for that day.
Step 6: Leaderboard. Users can see the top 5 other members enrolled in their challenge and how they are doing.
Step 7: Admin page. In the admin page the client can edit, update, and delete user information, challenges, workplaces.

Project Description:

The company needs the application to handle three main functions:
1. Timecard management section: It records daily workday including Date, Time, Location and Working Hours of employees. It gives the employees the ability to “check-in” and “check-out” in each workday. The employees can view and filter all the Timecards and do some tweaking with them. The admin will have higher privilege to view, modify and delete every Timecards when needed. She also can filter those Timecards, and exports payroll every week manually.
2. Incident report section (which gives employees the ability to report on any unexpected situation/incident during their working shift). The employees can report the incident’s time, geographical location, comment along with a picture reasoning why the incident happens.
3. ● Integrate GPS tracking location (Google Maps API in our case) to record the locations where employees start/end work shift daily.

Project Description:

The client StudioX Ottawa is a dance and fitness studio situated in Ottawa, Ontario. Run by Soul and Nadège the Directors & main instructors, it has been running since 2011. They offer many services such as dance lessons, fitness and yoga classes, and space rentals. Currently, they are situated with primarily a web presence, with all mobile interactions being sourced through the third-party services provided by Wellness Living, and currently are seeking to expand their presence in the mobile market through the creation of their own mobile application.

They have requested an android frontend be created for the existing web application, and to have the services provided by Wellness Living be migrated to be in-application functions accessible by both the android application and users of the web application.

Features requested:
– Customers Register & Login securely
– Customers are able to browse through the schedule and purchase a membership to
attend classes/events
– Generate user reports for admin users
– Customers can browse Services/Store & be able to make a purchase using Stripe
– Customers can contact the studio via email
– Customers are able to get up-to-date news

Our team discovered that most of the functions the studio uses are encapsulated by their third-party provider ‘Wellness Living’. after more deliberation and communication with the client, we decided to build a simple backend to accommodate all the features the client requested taking their encapsulated website out of the picture for now. This simple backend will be given to their future development team to help them with the eventual separation from their third-party service.

Backend Service used: Firebase Auth & Firebase Realtime database.

Project Description:

The idea of this application is to replace multiple sources and make the process of assignment completion and submission more accessible.

This application replaces paper checklists that were used as part of the lab completion process. It also allows students to create their own accounts and keep all the materials in one place, as well as submit their work either through email or MS Forms.

Project Description:

The Project Management Collection App helps users write better project management plans. It is a tool for students but is applicable to anyone wanting to put together a plan. The application searches a database of documents, uploaded with management metatags. This granularity allows the user to find precise examples from successful projects. Having a guide helps users communicate their plans easier. The application is hosted on Amazon Web Services and employs three of their services: Instance running, database hosting, and document storage.

Project Description:

The Ottawa Homicide Project is being conducted in partnership with Crime Prevention Ottawa (CPO) and the Ottawa Police Service (OPS). Essentially, we hope to uncover links between the geographical locations where homicides are taking place in our city and their proximity to various community-serving agencies – such as pharmacies, safe injection (also referred to as supervised consumption or supervised injection) sites and homeless shelters – and high-traffic social areas with a higher likelihood of patron intoxication – such as bars and liquor stores. In so doing, we are examining many different factors related to the context within which Ottawa homicides are occurring and have occurred over the past ten years (see Gallery Images for an example linking context and the five Ottawa geographic zones with the highest concentration of homicides).

This project has been conducted as a collaborative effort between the team lead (a student in the Victimology program), the Victimology Research Centre (VRC), and a team of students from the Bachelor of Public Safety (BPS) program. This group of students possess specialized knowledge and skills in creating interactive maps using geographic information systems (GIS) mapping technology. The GIS map our research team has created will add a visual element linking homicide locations to the various community destinations described above.

The VRC intends for this research to be ongoing. Our previously conducted research – including Ottawa homicide data spanning the years 2014-2020 and presented at 2020’s Victim and Survivors of Crime Week (VSCW) event – linked homicide concentrations with the postal codes in which they occurred. This earlier stage of the project was featured in the local media, including the CBC Ottawa series “All in a Day” and CTV Ottawa cable news.

The focus of this research team, however, has been expanded to include the years 2010-2020 with our data spanning an entire decade to give us a more comprehensive view of Ottawa homicide trends. With this continuation of the research, we hope to enlighten the public that it is not just postal codes that determine a neighbourhood’s risk of experiencing homicide. In the spirit of preventing the stigmatization of any given neighbourhood, we also wish to address the reality that sometimes, homicides are random occurrences with absolutely no connection to where they took place. That is, it is important to keep in mind that sometimes homicides are driven by relationships, not location.

In June, members of our research team will present a final report to the CPO board and community partners from the Byward Market Business Improvement Area (BIA) and Lowertown Community Association addressing outreach strategies for homicide prevention and present an ongoing database. What we wish to do is report the data to provide the community with a tool to use at their discretion in order to optimize their own safety in the spirit of prevention.
