Objective

To develop a feature for Expertiza to visualize the timeline using student submission timestamps, thereby enabling the student to navigate to the submissions records easily.

Problem Statemen

The instructor can see the submission records of students currently as a table for each assignment. But, student can't see the timestamps of submissions and deadlines of the assignment easily. In this project student should be able to visualize the submission records as a timeline, which includes

  • Timestamps of hyperlink submission records
  • Timestamps of file upload record
  • Due Dates
  • Peer review link with round number and timestamps
  • Author feedback to other’s review link with feedback hyperlink, timestamps

This project proposes a solution to include the timeline with all the hyperlinks necessary.

Design Analysis

Currently when a student logs into Expertiza, he could see the student task list page. He could access them by following the path

  • Login → Assignments → Choose a particular Assignment

In this project a time line in the student task list page would be added to navigate student to the due dates and the necessary links easily and keep a track of them. After the addition of the functionality, the student task list page would have the timeline as shown below.

Files involved

  • app/controllers/submission_records_controller.rb
  • app/models/submission_record.rb
  • app/views/student_task/list.html.erb
  • The database tables involved for the work is review mappings table, response table, due dates table
  • Due Dates will be taken from Due Dates table which has topic Id and assignment Id
  • Review Mapping table will be used for the review ID
  • Files and the Hyperlinks submitted will be taken from teams table
  • New Reviews will be looked in from Response table


Test Plan

TDD

For testing the new functionality TDD approach will be followed.

UI Testing

The newly added functionality would be tested manually by the UI testing.
