Online learning software, such as ASSISTments, has become a major tool within the pockets of educators. Our project attempts to improve the Content Builder component that ASSISTments is planning to add into their latest system. We achieved this goal by implementing data persistence for user created problems and ensuring that the user interface was fluid and simple to use. Our team also implemented collaboration features by giving users the ability to import content created by other users. To improve the security of the Content Builder, we also identified various software techniques that can be used to prevent cyberattacks and protect user information. Ultimately, we provided the ASSISTments Team with a new iteration of the Content Builder that is more robust and intuitive to use.
