The goal of this project is to create a simple badging system for Expertiza, allowing students to earn badges when they meet certain predefined criteria while using the platform. The full E17A2 project topic description can be found [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WYiXxhYyycp9a3I0GTC-4KFgHrg65Tf27ijJNQvxhmk/edit#heading=h.u6i7q1mdz0zl here]
The goal of this project is to create a simple badging system for Expertiza, allowing students to earn badges when they meet certain predefined criteria while using the platform.
</p>
<br/><br/>
<br/>
This project is concerned with two preliminary badges — "Good Reviewer" and "Good Teammate" — but the design will be such that the badging system can be easily extended to include more badges in the future.
<p>
<br/><br/>
Per the full project topic description, the badges will be designed using [https://credly.com Credly]. Previous work on this project topic revealed that any text included on the badges is too small to read, so all text should be removed from the badges and instead appear when the badges are hovered over.

This project is concerned with two preliminary badges — "Good Reviewer" and "Good Teammate" — but the design will be such that the badging system can be easily extended to include more badges in the future. The "Good Reviewer" badge will be awarded to students who receive very high review grades. The "Good Teammate" badge will be awarded to team members who receive very high teammate review scores. By default, the "threshold" for earning these badges will be set to a score of 95, but this value will be configurable on a per-assignment basis by the instructor.

A new "Badges" tab will be added for instructors on the "Edit Assignment" page where instructors can add badges and configure the badge criteria for a given assignment. Badges a student has earned can be seen when they view their "Task List" page, and an instructor will be able to view all badges earned by students when they view the "Participants List" page.

= Problem Statement=
To create a simple badging system for Expertiza such that the students can be badged when certain criteria are matched.
Badging feature allows students to be badged on expertiza based on the matching of certain criteria. ‘Good Reviewer’ and ‘Good Teammate’ badges can be given to students based on the scores given to them by instructors or the other teammates.
A ‘Good Reviewer’ badge is assigned when a student gets review score of more than a particular threshold or more than 95 by default.
Similarly, a 'Good teammate' badge is assigned when the teammate review score is greater than a particular threshold, defaulted to 95.
The criterion to receive the badges are configurable for the instructors and can be changed for different tasks and assignments.
=Requirement Specification=
1.Creating badges for 'Good Reviewer' and 'Good Teammate'<br>
2 Create a table named “badges” where the badges and their description can be stored.
<br>3.Create a mapping table named “assignment_badges”, for mapping badges with assignments and storing the specific thresholds

Project Description

The goal of this project is to create a simple badging system for Expertiza, allowing students to earn badges when they meet certain predefined criteria while using the platform. The full E17A2 project topic description can be found here


Per the full project topic description, the badges will be designed using Credly. Previous work on this project topic revealed that any text included on the badges is too small to read, so all text should be removed from the badges and instead appear when the badges are hovered over.


This project is concerned with two preliminary badges — "Good Reviewer" and "Good Teammate" — but the design will be such that the badging system can be easily extended to include more badges in the future. The "Good Reviewer" badge will be awarded to students who receive very high review grades. The "Good Teammate" badge will be awarded to team members who receive very high teammate review scores. By default, the "threshold" for earning these badges will be set to a score of 95, but this value will be configurable on a per-assignment basis by the instructor.


A new "Badges" tab will be added for instructors on the "Edit Assignment" page where instructors can add badges and configure the badge criteria for a given assignment. Badges a student has earned can be seen when they view their "Task List" page, and an instructor will be able to view all badges earned by students when they view the "Participants List" page.


Please refer to the sections below for further detail.

Project Requirements

1. Create badges using Credly (do not include text)

        1.1. Create the "Good Reviewer" Badge

        1.2. Create the "Good Teammate" Badge

        1.3. Store these badge images in the app/assets/images/badges directory

2. Create tables for the badging system

        2.1. Create a table named badges with the following attributes

                2.1.1. idprimary key

                2.1.2. namevarchar

                2.1.3. descriptionvarchar

        2.2. Create a mapping table named assignment_badges with the following attributes

                2.2.1 idprimary key

                2.2.2 badge_idforeign key

                2.2.3 assignment_idforeign key

                2.2.4 thresholdint

        2.3. Create a mapping table named awarded_badges with the following attributes

                2.3.1. id — primary key

                2.3.2. badge_id — foreign key

                2.3.3. participant_id — foreign key

3. Change the UI so that instructors can add, configure, and view badges, and so that students can view their badges

        3.1. Add a new "Badges" tab to the assignments/edit page for instructors to add and configure badges

        3.2. Add badge icons to the participants/list page for instructors to view badges

        3.3. Add badge icons to the student_task/list page for students to view badges

4. Write feature tests to verify the modifications

        4.1. Include tests in the a new badge_system_spec.rb file in the spec/features directory

Preliminary Mocks

Badges

The following Credly badge will be awarded to students who meet the "Good Reviewer" criterion for a given assignment:

Good Reviewer Badge


The following Credly badge will be awarded to team members who meet the "Good Teammate" criterion for a given assignment:

Good Teammate Badge

Tables

The following is an example of mock data in the badges table:

id (primary key) name (varchar) description (varchar)
1 Good Reviewer This badge is awarded to students who receive very high review grades.
2 Good Teammate This badge is awarded to team members who receive very high teammate review scores.


The following is an example of mock data in the assignment_badges mapping table:

id (primary key) badge_id (foreign key) assignment_id (foreign key) threshold (int)
1 1 1 95
2 2 1 95
3 1 2 90
4 2 2 85
5 1 3 80

The first row represents that the badge with badge_id 1 ("Good Reviewer") has been activated for assignment with assignment_id 1 with the default threshold of 95.

The second row represents that the badge with badge_id 2 ("Good Teammate") has been activated for assignment with assignment_id 1 with the default threshold of 95.

The third row represents that the badge with badge_id 1 ("Good Reviewer") has been activated for assignment with assignment_id 2 with a customized threshold of 90.

The fourth row represents that the badge with badge_id 2 ("Good Teammate") has been activated for assignment with assignment_id 2 with a customized threshold of 85.

The fifth row represents that the badge with badge_id 1 ("Good Reviewer") has been activated for assignment with assignment_id 3 with a customized threshold of 80.


The following is an example of mock data in the awarded_badges mapping table:

id (primary key) badge_id (foreign key) participant_id (foreign key)
1 1 1
2 2 1
3 1 2
4 2 3

The first row represents that the assignment participant with participant_id 1 has earned the badge with badge_id 1 ("Good Reviewer") for the given assignment.

The second row represents that the assignment participant with participant_id 1 has earned the badge with badge_id 2 ("Good Teammate") for the given assignment.

The third row represents that the assignment participant with participant_id 2 has earned the badge with badge_id 1 ("Good Reviewer") for the given assignment.

The fourth row represents that the assignment participant with participant_id 3 has earned the badge with badge_id 2 ("Good Teammate") for the given assignment.

Test Plan

A new badge_system_spec.rb file will be created in the spec/features folder, and will include feature tests that verify the modifications made for the project.

The following will be our test plan for this project:

describe 'Good Reviewer Badge Presence' do

  it "should appear on the instructor's participant list when threshold is set below score" do

  end

  it "should appear on the student's task list when threshold is set below score" do

  end

  it "should appear on the instructor's participant list when score is set above threshold" do

  end

  it "should appear on the student's task list when score is set above threshold" do

  end

end
describe 'Good Reviewer Badge Absence' do

  it "should not appear on the instructor's participant list when threshold is set above score" do

  end

  it "should not appear on the student's task list when threshold is set above score" do

  end

  it "should not appear on the instructor's participant list when score is set below threshold" do

  end

  it "should not appear on the student's task list when score is set below threshold" do

  end

end
describe 'Good Teammate Badge Presence' do

  it "should appear on the instructor's participant list when threshold is set below score" do

  end

  it "should appear on the student's task list when threshold is set below score" do

  end

  it "should appear on the instructor's participant list when score is set above threshold" do

  end

  it "should appear on the student's task list when score is set above threshold" do

  end

end
describe 'Good Teammate Badge Absence' do

  it "should not appear on the instructor's participant list when threshold is set above score" do

  end

  it "should not appear on the student's task list when threshold is set above score" do

  end

  it "should not appear on the instructor's participant list when score is set below threshold" do

  end

  it "should not appear on the student's task list when score is set below threshold" do

  end

end
