#Future Improvements Here are some areas of improvement that can be considered in the future.

Email Sending

Create email templates that can be auto-filled with student information and sent to different groups simultaneously.

  • Auto-filling: extracting student information from the database and filling it into the pre-defined spaces
  • Sent at scale: sending customized emails to different student groups at scale

Calendar Management

For the upcoming development cycle, it is recommended to incorporate a comprehensive event management function into our current web applications. This feature should provide a clear and detailed view of scheduled events, including their names, times, and locations when available. Key Functionality to Implement:

  • Event Overview: Implement a user-friendly interface that displays upcoming events comprehensively. Each event listing should include essential details such as the event's name, time, and location.
  • Email Coordination: The function should seamlessly integrate with the email system to facilitate event reservation processes. Users should be able to send RSVPs directly through the application, enhancing communication and efficiency.
  • Event and Calendar Integration: Future enhancements should include an integrator modification system that allows for seamless synchronisation between the application's event management system and external email and calendar applications. This integration will ensure that users have a unified view of their schedules across different platforms. Implementing these features will significantly enhance user experience, streamline event coordination, and improve overall productivity within the application.

Recommendation System

The proposed recommendation system aims to optimize the match between candidates and potential internships or projects. By leveraging advanced natural language processing (NLP) technologies, the system will analyze the strengths and qualifications presented in candidates' resumes, facilitating a more tailored and effective matching process. Key Features:

  • Candidate-Project Matching: The system will recommend internships and projects to candidates based on the compatibility of their skills and interests with the project requirements. This personalized approach ensures that candidates are matched with opportunities that align with their strengths and career aspirations.
  • NLP-Powered Resume Analysis: Utilizing NLP, the system will comprehensively understand and interpret the information provided in candidates' resumes. This deep analysis will identify key skills, experiences, and qualifications, enabling a nuanced matching process.
  • Recruiter Support: Beyond assisting candidates, the system will provide recruiters with valuable insights into the candidates' profiles. This feature will enable recruiters to make informed decisions, ensuring a synergistic match between the candidate's capabilities and the project's needs. By implementing this recommendation system, we aim to enhance the candidate experience, improve the efficiency of the matching process, and support recruiters in identifying the most suitable candidates for their projects.

Standard system structure

  • Database Integration: Develop a robust database system for seamless data extraction, updating, and management. Prioritize efficiency and security.
  • User Interface: Design a user-friendly interface for ease of navigation and accessibility. Incorporate responsive design for multi-device compatibility.
  • Data Analysis Tools: Integrate advanced data analysis features for real-time insights and decision-making support. Focus on flexibility and customization options.
  • Security Measures: Establish comprehensive security protocols to protect data integrity and privacy. Include regular audits and updates.

Enhancing Data Update Process Through API Integration

In an effort to increase the efficiency of data updates and reduce the likelihood of human errors in manual processes, we plan to explore the establishment of an API connection with REDCap. This initiative aims to simplify the existing data handling workflow and enhance the user experience. Under the current process, users have to manually download files from REDCap and then upload them into our application. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of data handling. Proposed Improvements

  • API Connection Establishment: We are attempting to establish an API connection with REDCap. This would enable direct data synchronisation between REDCap and our application. Potential Benefits:
  • Accelerated Data Updates: Automated synchronisation will significantly reduce the time taken for data processing.
  • Error Reduction: Automation will minimise human errors that can occur during manual handling. We acknowledge that there may be technical obstacles in establishing an API connection. By establishing an API connection, we anticipate significant improvements in the data update process. This will not only speed up data handling but also enhance data accuracy, thus improving the overall user experience.
