DATABASE SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY OF STUDENTS

Ponudb mobilnosti za študente je na spletu vedno več, pojavljajo pa se na vedno večih mestih in celo v tujih jezikih. Zaradi tega nekatere ponudbe nikoli ne dosežejo slovenskih študentov. Da bi pripomogli k večji mednarodni mobilnosti študentov, smo izdelali aplikacijo, ki bo na enem mestu omogočala ogled večih ponudb mobilnosti. Preizkusiti smo želeli Appleov namizni sistem za upravljanje baz podatkov FileMaker Pro Advance 11. V bazo smo s spleta zbrali podatke o ponudbah mobilnosti in s pomočjo programa FileMaker naredili aplikacijo. Ustvarili smo dve postavitvi: "Vnašanje", ki bo namenjena vnašanju in brisanju zapisov in "Iskanje", ki bo služila kot glavno okno za iskanje po bazi. Izdelali smo poseben obrazec za iskanje po ponudbah mobilnosti, ki bo obenem kazal tudi informacije posameznih ponudb. Aplikacija bo študentom omogočala iskanje po ponudbah mobilnost in ob določitvi željenih parametrov ponudila seznam primernih ponudb mobilnosti. Baza bo za doseganje širše publike objavljena na spletnih straneh ESN Slovenija, ki pa si bodo morali za učinkovito delitev baze preko spleta priskrbeti program FileMaker Server Advanced. Zaradi spreminjanja podatkov ponudb in pojavljanja novih možnosti bo bazo potrebno redno vzdrževati.Every day there are more and more mobility options for students on the internet. However, they are scatterred over the web and sometimes only presented in a foreign language. For this reason some offers never reach Slovenian students. In order to contribute to greater international mobility of students, we created an application that will allow viewing of multiple mobility options simutanously. We wanted to test Apple\u27s desktop database management system called FileMaker Pro Advanced 11. We collected data from the internet on multiple offers of mobility in a database. With the help of the program FileMaker we converted the database into an application. We created two layouts : "Vnašanje", which is designed to enter or delete records and "Iskanje", which will serve as the main window to search the database. We made a special form to help search through options of mobility and also shows the details of individual offers. The application allows students to search for desired mobility options using special parameters and returns all offers containing the same data. The database will be published on the website of ESN Slovenia providing access to a wider audience. In order to provide effective sharing of the database program FileMaker Server Advanced is required. Due to the changing data and the emergence of new opportunities the database will require regular maintenance
