Update 4/9/17

Work accomplished:
I have created a password generation script that will create random passwords for each study participant. The participants will be able to change their password once they have logged into the application. I have also wrote some code that inserted the user/password combinations into our database. We attempted to use the application on Monday, however there were some underlying issues that rendered the app unusable. After we thought all issues had been fixed, we attempted to test the application again on Wednesday with no luck. The server-side and client-side issues have been resolved and we had a successful test session on Friday.

Side note -- Our paper is now available here on the learntechlib website!

Goal:
Nico and I will demonstrate the PIN and password methods to the classes.

Outcome:
The participants will have a better idea of how to use the system and they will have the opportunity to ask any questions they might have.

We want to complete the necessary IRB forms and related documents in order to submit a proposal for the user study we will conduct.

Outcome:
I have gained an understanding of what professional research is, and why collaboration skills are important in projects like this.
