CGI Scripts


Search Engine and Database

This search engine, written in Perl, was created to search through a dynamic, tiered database that now includes about 16,000 web pages. Users may select from 9 categories and search according to two criteria and/ or keywords. If no exact match is found for a category search, the program steps up through tiered categories until closest match is found.

Email Correspondence Program (Enter "HHmedialab" as name and "insite220"as password.)
These series of CGI scripts provide a secure, monitored email environment for high school students to correspond with their career mentors. Teachers may either activate a group account for their entire class (see link above) or assign each student an individual password protected account. Student accounts display all sent and received mail and link to appropriate mentor information from our database.

Online Grading Program
These scripts provide a password protected grading program for Web Design instruction at Washtenaw Community College. The instructor may create a student database at the beginning of the term then call up a grading page for each student with links to that student's email address, Web assignments, previous grades and comment sheet. From this page the instructor can communicate with and grade the student as well as change the student's previous grades. Enrolled students may check their grades and read personalized instructor comments by logging into their own password protected accounts. I created this program on the WCC server when I taught at the college. Most of my work continue to be used by other college staff but if the link above is broken, this one has been removed. Some of the functions of the demo also might have been disabled by the server administrator.

Quiz Program
This program creates and immediately grades quizzes taken by students then posts the grade to their private account.

Database Creation Program
These scripts allow the user to create and edit a database online under password security.

Server Upload Program
This program provides secure access to individual folders on a server where the user with a password may upload files via the Web. The user may not navigate to any other folder on the server and each upload sends an email notice to the server administrator with the date and time of the upload, the name of the user who uploaded and a link to the file that was uploaded.
