Expertiza

Expertiza is an educational web application created and maintained by the joint efforts of the students and the faculty at NCSU. It’s an open source project developed on Ruby on Rails platform and it’s code is available on Github. It allows students to review each other’s work and improve their work upon this feedback.


Project Juniper Bookmark Enhancements

The Bookmark functionality in expertiza is in its nascent stage which allows the author to rate the bookmarks that he has received for his project. This project is an attempt to make the bookmarks more user-friendly and credible.This project further tries to improve the functionality where author can descriptively evaluate the bookmark using the set of rubrics.

Bookmark Functionality

Expertiza features the bookmarking functionality which allows users to help the author of the project by suggesting insights. The bookmarks are attached to each project topic and user can suggest by filling up a questionnaire. As soon as a user creates a bookmark, the project author is able to view all the bookmarks that are created for his project. The author can give a feedback on the bookmark that he has received which helps even the user know the usefuless of his bookmark.


Issues in the current version that were resolved • The “back” button when user visits “Create Bookmarks and viewing bookmarks were not functional which refrained the user from going back to the Signup-sheet. • Validations on the form for adding bookmarks were missing • Average Rating calculation was wrong

Solutions: 1. Fixing the Back button: When a logged in user goes to “View Bookmark” or “Create bookmark“ page, he cannot to go back to the Sign-up sheet using “back button”. To view this : 1. Log in as an instructor and impersonate as a student (student6340 or student6341) 2. Select ‘Exercises’ assignment and go to the Signup sheet 3. We can see a list of projects with 2 columns to add or remove the Bookmark, select any of them 4. You’ll be redirected to the corresponding page where the back button will be visible

2. The form for adding bookmarks had no validations Validations were added as a security measure to prevent misuse.

To view this: 1. Do steps 1-3 as above and click on add bookmark button 2. The form will not allow malformed expressions as input

3. Average Calculation: When using the Scale method for reviewing the bookmark, the average rating for that bookmark shown was calculated wrongly and showed average rating for the bookmark that wasn’t reviewed.


New Features Added • Functionality for the author to review the bookmarks using descriptive form Now the author can rate the bookmark as well as review it with the rubric as it is set by the instructor.

To view this: 1. Log in as an instructor and in the edit assignment part, ensure that ‘Allow participants to create bookmarks?’ checkbox is checked. 2. Impersonate as user and then add bookmarks 3. The owner of that project should be able to see all the bookmarks created for his project and can rate the bookmark.


Bugs that are still to be fixed: 1. When the instructor doesn’t allow the bookmarks to be created, we can still add the bookmark but cannot rate or review it.
