ASPEN--A Web-Based Application for Managing Student Server Accounts
Sandvig, J. Christopher
Campus-Wide Information Systems, v21 n4 p157-162 2004
The growth of the Internet has greatly increased the demand for server-side programming courses at colleges and universities. Students enrolled in such courses must be provided with server-based accounts that support the technologies that they are learning. The process of creating, managing and removing large numbers of student server accounts is time consuming, error-prone, and can create security risks. This paper describes a Web-based file manager and editor program named ASPEN (Active Server Pages Editor.Net) that greatly simplifies server account management issues and provides a convenient Web interface for students to edit and execute their server-side programs. This paper also describes implementation issues related to security, reliability, account creation, and maintenance. (Contains 3 figures and 1 note.)
