A Team Registration System to Support Tracking Training and Enhancing Performance

摘要

Programming competitions are varied and range from high school to college level. In addition, competitive learning, in general, is increasingly used in courses to foster improved focus on improvement. Such competitions require management tools; however, we also wish to support tracking of individual and team performance across such competitions. We have developed a vision for a suite of tools to provide such a support system. This paper discusses the first such tool: a system for competition registration. We review the database structure and how it supports our vision for tracking individuals and teams. We then review our implementation including how it was built on top of the Joomla! content management system. Finally, some lessons learned are offered and some thoughts on our next tool are given.
