SharePoint to Dataverse Migration and PowerApp Optimization for Nonprofit Program Management

This project involves creating a new database and migrating existing client and volunteer data from SharePoint Lists into new tables in Microsoft Dataverse. Then building a new version of the existing Program Management PowerApp to work with the new data source. Project Adult Literacy Society is a non-profit organization that provides programs for adult learners to help them improve their reading, writing, English, math and basic digital skills for everyday life, employment, or further education. We manage learner and volunteer information and reports through PowerApps on Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits. Our current Program Management app relies on data stored in SharePoint Lists, but as the volume of data has grown, we are increasingly challenged by the limitations of SharePoint. By creating a better foundation for the data on a platform designed to work with PowerApps, we aim to enable a more efficient and responsive app that better serves the workflow of our staff.

Promotional Video for Literacy

The mission of Project Adult Literacy Society is “Changing Lives Through Literacy.” PALS is a community-based literacy program that addresses the learning needs of adults with low literacy skills.  The goal of this project is to collaborate with students to create a video to raise awareness of literacy and the needs of adults with low literacy in the community. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with PALS, including our mission and goals. Recording a presentation or screencast to share key messaging, raise awareness, and call the community to action. Finding and applying suitable background music. Adding text, transitions, and overlays to the video. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Presenting the video and making edits based on feedback. Recommending ideas and editing tools for future awareness videos.
