Hey thought it was time to give an update for Fast.Q, it has been a while.

So the Fast.Q system is up and running, both students and staff members are able to log on with their university details.

So what can you, the student, do with Fast.Q.
Currently you are able to post feedback and questions about a specific module. You are only able to post comments for modules you are enrolled on.

Now the staff.
You are able to view the feedback and comments for any module you wish too. This is update live so you are able to make use of the system during or after lectures.

Whats left to do???
– There are still a few bugs that need fixing
– Need to give the staff access to all modules, since there doesn’t seem to be a way to get a list of all modules, not just the temporary ones
– A little bit on clean up is needed to the the general interface.
It sounds like a lot I feel, but it should be done in a short amount of time (fingers crossed).

Greetings Fast-Qers!
Apologies for the lack of development updates, but I will quickly fill you in with what has been happening in terms of development over the last few weeks. We have been preparing the system for integration with the Universities oAuth system. This means setting up the staff and student areas so that once a JSON request is made the data that is returned (Module list, name etc.) can be used to shape our system.

Progress is good and we hope to have an artefact which is ready for initial testing in the next couple of weeks. We hope to try out the system in a number of lectures and get feedback on the look and feel of fast.Q from both a student and staff perspective. This initial research will help to shape the system once we begin adding additional AI functionality.

I will write a post regarding how we are using the oAuth system and the benefits of a centralised university login system in the near future.
