OJT Weekly Report (Mark Bitancor)

       In Week 14, starts with the User Training & Workshop on the OVPRDE and the Proposal Management Information System. During this workshop we assisted the staff from each divisions and centers on how to use the system. To start, we first asked their email addresses in order to create their accounts. After that we started to teach them how to create articles as well as how to navigate the system. After some time, the host asked the staff to create articles so we could see whether they learned how to create one and to populate the article sections from the website. During this time, we asked each division and centers on whether they have sent the content for our website or not as well as whether it is applicable for them have this content. In the upcoming days we refined the website and populate the missing sections that needs to be populated. A plugin named TablePress is also finally being used so that adding download links in the forms is much easier compared...

          In Week 13, starts with a sudden hijack to our domain. The domain suddenly became a gambling site and all of our hard work was replaced. But thankfully all the hijackers did is to redirect the domain instead of completely replacing all of our hard work with a gambling site. We asked the main IT department of our school ICTO to help us out recover the website. After it was recovered, we were advised to use Word Fence, a security plugin to prevent such attacks from happening again. During that we also encrypted the admin login page link so it could be easily found as well as changed all of our passwords into a really strong one. Funnily enough after some time the system was hijacked again. We asked ICTO again recover the website and then watch videos on how to use the Word Fence plugin. We used the firewall to prevent brute force attacks and scanned the system and found that there was a malicious file injected to our system, so we removed it. After ...

          In Week 12, starts with a meeting Ma’am Llovido where we presented the current progress on the CMS. She gave us some suggestions such refining the departments of each division as well as changing sections in the navigation bar and in the following days we did what was asked for us. We changed the link of the “Homepage” so it would link the user to the main Bicol University site and then the actual homepage of the CMS into the “OVPRDE”. Another we initialized some account roles depending on the divisions like who is the admin, editor or the author for the CMS. We also added specific pages to the DBRCs so as well as adding a forms page for R&D and BUEMD.

Day 48 (April 14, 2025) For the forty-eight day, starts another week of continuing the OJT. To start the day, Ma’am Joy asked me to join the College Research Coordinators Meeting which was held at Hotel Lucca. For a bit one of my fellow classmates also went to join and help with the meeting. We were tasked to document the meeting as well as to have jot down some of the suggestions that was stated by the audience. We also continued the brochure that was tasked to us using Canva. Since the content was now given to us, we were able to finish most the brochure and all that is left is the flowchart and the QR code for the links.   Day 49 (April 15, 2025) For the forty-ninth day, we continued in developing the scorecard. Features such as having the ability to upload the excel sheets has been added. Although being able to actually import has not been implemented like where the contents of the file will be read and displayed on the dashboard since it doesn’t actually exist. Also, a...
