    Student job – Networked Learning Conference

    As a continuation of my three week internship I worked at the Networked Learning Conference for a year. I updated content elements, and was in the lead of constructing the community website.

     

    Case Study

    My student job at the Networked Learning Conference is a continuation of my three week internship at the 8th semester. I was given a recommendation for this work which may be found at my linkedIn profile.

    Keywords on what I worked with in this job: community, Joomla, newsletters, updates of content elements, hackers, software upgrades

    The Task

    My primary focus during this job was general maintenance of the conference website. I was given many various practical tasks by the steering committee that I had to solve. Apart from this it was also my job to perform continuous updates of the used CMS and its extensions. During the three week internship we installed a community system at the website, and my job in this relation was to continue the construction of this community such that it could handle all the needs that the conference had for this. Finally it was also my job to fight against the continuous stream of hacker attempts that the site ran into, as there wasn’t money for investing in a proper security solution for the CMS.

    Qualifications

    The student job and the work during my three week internship primarily provided me with an understanding of what it takes to run a community at a website. It also allowed me to deal with a practical job of maintenance and development of a website based on the instructions I was given. The work provided me a lot of experience in working Joomla as a CMS but it also required that I was able to think creative and independent to solve some of various tasks and problems that the site faced.

    Results

    I assisted the steering committee of the conference in taking decisions based on what was technically possible with platforms they had selected but I also tried to be creative by transforming their problems such that they could be solved in another way. I update content elements (both text and graphics) based on the demands of the steering committee. I was in the lead of the task of setting up the community which over time became possible to integrate with Facebook.
