This documentation describes about the generation of the batch wise assessment report within the course. The report should generate with below fields. For more detail refer this PRD.

Total Score // Total score of the all assessment in a course( Eg: 2/3+3/4+2/3=7/10 )

As per the above diagram, End user will sync the assess events through api, which will update the database with computed values. The assessment data product which read data from the database and will generate the reports per batch and uploads to azure cloud storage.

Request Structure:

  1. Need to validate and de-dup the the events.

...

Events related to particular to batchId, courseId, userId, attemptId, contentId should be grouped together while calling this API.

attemptId: Should be generated from Hashing HASH(courseId, userId, contentId, batchId)

Challenges:

 

  1. How to capture the attempts? i.e. Number of times the particular user is attempted particular question. 
  2. How to capture the batch-id and course-id



Conclusion:

Analytics team:
1. Analytics team will store the attempts as a blob in the database and all the event data related to the questions will be stored in the blob.
2. Analytics team will implement a API to ingest assessment related data. The API will take course_id and batch_id and a batch of ASSESS events.
3. The API will route the events to a separate Kafka topic. A new Samza job will process these events and load the summarized data into the database. Each record will correspond to a attempt_id for a worksheet. The record will also contain overall score for the attempt_id.
4. Postgres might not scale for the number of ASSESS events every day. Cassandra will be used to store the summarized data.

Portal/Mobile (Estimations have not been accounted for the following tasks):
1. Currently, the question id is auto generated every time the worksheet is played. Content player needs to fix it and use the do_id for the questions.
2. Mobile and portal will have to send the attempt id in cdata both in the case of practice questions and exams. Currently, a new attempt id can be generated every time the worksheet is played. However, in future the exams will need to have the same attempt id passed until the assessment is submitted.
3. Mobile/Portal should figure out a way to call the assement score computation API only for assessments worksheets.
