Poster Pandemonium (Week 10)

Friday we will all be participating in an Undergraduate Research Symposium, thus this was poster week. Each poster is supposed to sum up the research we've done this summer, so mine covers the user following system and magic sorting, briefly re-named "user-relevant sorting" for the sake of professionalism on my poster. Essentially my poster tells the story of Alice, a hypothetical user on Looking Glass, and explains how we will keep her engaged in learning by exposing her to worlds that are associated with topics of interest to her, or that are related to users she deems interesting.

This week Jordana cleaned up magic sort so that it is less detrimental to the website's performance. It runs much faster, and she gave me several good suggestions that I will implement in order to further reduce inefficiencies. Next week I'll finish up fixing magic sort as best I can.
