Project Description

This is not code, but this is.

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'
2 Create a table named “badges” where the badges and their description can be stored.
3.Create a mapping table named “assignment_badges”, for mapping badges with assignments and storing the specific thresholds
4.Create a mapping table named “awarded_badges”, to map student with badges.
5.Providing means to configure the badging criteria by adding 'Calibration' tab in Assignments/edit page.
6.Adding badges in student/task list to allow the viewing of badges associated with students.
7.Adding badges to participants/list for an instructor to view.
8.Implement feature tests to verify the new feature addition.
9.Adding hover feature on each badge to allow the viewer to read the description of the badge without taking up column width or height.
