Virtual Internship Opportunity: EDMS/Database for Website - Computer Science

Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for (1, 2 or 3) computer science students or teams.Brain Gym Canada® is brand-new organization, created to support Brain Gym® Consultants in Canada, build our community and promote the growth and presence of Brain Gym® nationally.We have a website (thanks to Riipen!) and now we need to build an information database for our members to access and use. This would be the "RESOURCES" tab on our website - an online library which contains articles, information and research. This addition to our website needs to be easily searchable by keyword and by category, and it needs to be easy for us to continuously add to, including tagging and metadata.The primary focus for the student will be: Implement an electronic document management system (EDMS) with search capabilities that integrates with our existing websiteDatabase Development - our file management system/database needs to be easily searchable by keyword and by category. We need a system that enables us to easily add articles and information to the database, capture metadata tags and cross-reference itOpen Source Software Selection - Research and identify potential open source tools for our organization’s use. As a not-for-profit, we ideally need freely available software. This would only be required if software is needed in addition to the EDMS, or to aid in it's continued functionalityOur goal at the end of this experience is: A fully functional EDMS which is integrated into our existing websiteSoftware Identification, recommendations and evaluation - if neededProvision of a clear and user-friendly document which enables us (as non-techies) to optimally operate and efficiently maintain and sustain the system once the project has been completed and "handed over" to usOther duties the student/team may complete could include: These would decided on collaboratively as the project is developed, if anything additional is needed We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: Riipen messaging, email, Zoom, and any other communication methods that best suite the student/team and our primary contactStudent's primary contact: Karen MacKay, Secretary & Librarian, Brain Gym Canada®
