Expected Behavior

WebSoc section objects should contain the "Web" column that WebSoc returns. The "Web" column, if populated, contains a link to the course's syllabus page on their Canvas.

Possible Solution

We will not scrape the Canvas page since most will be gated behind a Shibboleth login, but just having the link will enable students to click on them and see them.

Will need to modify libwebsoc-next and the websocSection table schema. Should also consider storing a table that associates course numbers with a set of links for future.

Context

Having syllabus data could also benefit PeterPortal in the future.

I actually have a side project where I tried this out. But yes, this could be cool addition for PeterPortal to have links to past syllabi for courses.

One thing to note, I think the syllabus links die at some point. Haven't figured out the lifespan for them.

We were told by our ASUCI contact that the link generally shouldn't die. Since they're behind UCI sign in, there's not much we can do beyond waiting for them to make policy change or attempting to California PRA them.
