On-the-Job Training Blog: Week 8

 Day 35 (March 24, 2025)

For the thirty-fifth day, starts another new week of our OJT. We focused on creating the web pages into WordPress. I based from what I have learned from watching some video tutorials about it I start to get the gist of it. For me I created the Hero Section as well as the header for the web pages so it looks and feel like the official Bicol University website. I still think coding the system is much better since you have a lot more freedom on what you want the website to be even if it might take a while. The website would look a lot more barebones and a lot less user-friendly even to us, since you are just using the free versions of WordPress as well as the downloadable plugins.

 

Day 36 (March 25, 2025)

For the thirty-sixth day, as usual we still continued creating web pages with the use of WordPress. We created more web pages and started to work out on how the roles work in WordPress. We have created some sections like the contact us, FAQs and footer as well as how the division pages would look like. The hard part is how to make the Articles display dynamically when the writer/editor wants to create an article. When we asked on how to do it, they stated the we should not create it Elementor. Elementor is a plugin that we were using the make web pages a lot easier and more user-friendly. Creating articles using base WordPress is very unintuitive. I hope that we could find a way on how to have like a sort of template so that if a writer/editor writes an article, it automatically follows the desired format.

 

Day 37 (March 26, 2025)


For the thirty-seventh day, we continued creating the web pages for the CMS. For this day we pretty much just did some minor changes for how the website would look like. I created another part for the Hero section which has a video about OVPRDE as well as a button, when clicked would link the user to the existing system that the CS students developed. Others have created other sections and figuring out how the articles dynamically display.

 

Day 38 (March 27, 2025)

For the thirty-eight day, another task has been given to us other than the creation of the CMS using WordPress. One of us including me was tasked to create a tarpaulin design for an upcoming meeting which will be held at Hotel Lucca here in Legazpi City. Searched for some inspiration on how to create the design and turned out to be good, but it looked a bit plain since there were still some spaces that are not utilized. We asked some help from one of my fellow classmates to help with the filler designs and it actually turned out nice.

 

Day 39 (March 28, 2025)

For the thirty-ninth day, we continued in the web site creation using WordPress. In this day we were asked to have a short meeting with our mentor Ma’am Llovido to see the progress as well as give some suggestions on what things should be changed. Some sections were suggested to be removed like the buttons in the specific division pages. We also demonstrated on how each of the roles work, which is the contributor, author, editor and then the administrator. The administrator pretty much has every control in the system, the editor can oversee every work of each user in the post and can approve any pending post, the author can automatically publish the post with the editors’ approval, and the contributor has create posts but still needs the approval of the editor.

Day 1 (February 3, 2025) For the first day of our OJT is sort of the orientation or the general overview on what the system is like. The mentors Ma’am Llovido and Ma’am Joy Canon and some of the professors in the RDE asked us to join over the orientation. The previous batch of OJT students was also that orientation to present the system that they have developed to the professors and to us. We were overloaded with information since there were a lot of features, as well as the process in the approval of the research in that system. After the orientation Ma’am Joy and Sir Russel told us some of the tasks we can do during the OJT. So, for this day it is just the overview of system as well as meeting up with the previous batch of OJT students in RDE.   Day 2 (February 4, 2025) For the second day, things have pretty much slowed down. We still have not finalized what our tasks will be put in the mentorship plan. So, what we did during the day is ask Sir Russel on what files we can...

Day 9 (February 17, 2025) For the ninth day of our OJT is pretty much the same as last time. We scanned documents but in the that day we also talked with Ma’am Llovido about the system again for a bit an what we should do and did a mockup layout on the CMS that we will do. We also did our mentorship plan in order to finally finalize the general overview on what will be our tasks for the whole on-the-job training. So that’s pretty much what we did for that day.   Day 10 (February 18, 2025) For the tenth day, we scanned documents as usual so for the first half of the day we scanned documents that sir Russ gave us. There are also OJT students coming from CSSP that came here in RDE and Ma’am Llovido asked us to introduce ourselves since we might we meet each other even though will be assigned to other areas in RDE. Nearing lunch time, we had a meeting with the mentors together with the staff and the CSSP OJT students and present the general layout of the CMS. Suggestions were g...

  Day 5 (February 11, 2025) For the fifth day of our OJT is pretty much the same as last time, we just scanned the documents that was given to us. Although now, it is pretty much the big folders now where it has the big researches. It has been somewhat confusing to organize it since we might get some duplicates because of the receiving documents. We finally talked to Ma’am Llovido on what to do with the system about refactoring it and she said that it we could it, but we still need to need to ask the previous for the OJT students since they are the ones that developed it. For the next day we will be having a Google Meet to discuss about that matter.   Day 6 (February 12, 2025) For the sixth day, we only scanned documents and ask the previous batch on what to do about the system. For that day we also asked Ma’am Joy about the refactoring of the system and she stated that it is feasible but that problem is that they still need to follow a deadline on finishing the system...
