Bulk Upload Questions

Teachers have a large pool of questions they would have already created for conducting tests, quizzes, and exams. We want to leverage (1) Bulk upload questions and (2) link them to a question set.

Milestone 1: Bulk Upload Questions

  1. Support Multiple Choice Question with validations such as

    1. Minimum 2 options, maximum 8 options

    2. At least and only one option correct

  2. User provides CSV in the prescribed format filled with required details

Implementation details

  1. Create a generate QuML API for various interaction types such that it takes required parameters as input and generate a QuML output. For example, Multiple Choice Question fundamentally contains Question, Options, and Correct Answer. The API takes these 3 as inputs in HTML or JSON format and generates a QuML spec. This also allows QuML to evolve rapidly as just by updating this ‘Generate QuML’ API with latest QuML spec, we can upgrade various places where Questions & Question sets are getting created such as Question Set Editor, Bulk Upload Questions & Question sets.

    1. This logic exists today ingrained in the Question creation component. It needs to be extracted out and made available as API / something.

Bulk Upload Question Set

https://project-sunbird.atlassian.net/browse/SB-22801

Many times organisations have a pool of questions available in some format - as Word docs on Hard disk, as Scan PDFs of exam papers, as questions in Excel sheet, and so on.

By enabling bulk upload of these questions or question sets would allows us to leverage what is already available in abundance and create maximum value out of it.

→ Bulk uploading of question sets can be done by providing data in the prescribed format. System will create questions, question sets and even link them to a collection (if details are provided).

→ Bulk upload format should support

  1. Uploading of various question categories such as MCQ, Reference, FTB (in future), MTF (in future), and so on..

  2. Providing Question set configuration and metadata

→ After bulk uploading, creator can review the uploaded question sets and bulk submit them for review.

→ System should have a configurable upper limit on number of questions in a question set that can be uploaded.

→ User flow should be similar to Bulk upload of content with an additional step of bulk submit for the contributor. (Check Issue navigator - JIRA (atlassian.net))

  • User can download prescribed format

  • Upload the data for bulk upload job

  • (new) Preview question sets created as draft, edit, and submit

  • (new) Bulk submit all question sets

→ Reviewer flow remain as-is similar to other bulk upload / approve projects.

Refer to current bulk upload process, template and guidelines here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PW5b-Mdie6--wsFhGzC-fxVcPbvax4cA-hJyajr8Xew/edit#

https://project-sunbird.atlassian.net/browse/SB-23374

Bulk upload question set format should support

  1. creating multiple question types (V1 will support MCQ with layouts, Subjective reference questions)

  2. creating multiple question sets at once with their details & configurations

  3. linking of these question sets to (target) collections

Bulk upload question set workflow is detailed out here in this ticket

https://project-sunbird.atlassian.net/browse/SB-23375

Contributors can access bulk upload question set functionality similar to how they would access bulk upload content functionality. Broadly, bulk upload can happen in context of project with target collection or in framework category driven projects.

As a contributor

  1. I can download the prescribed format for uploading question set from the portal. Details of prescribed format are here

  2. The question sets are uploaded as draft

  3. Contributor can preview and edit any of the question sets, and the questions in them

  4. Contributor can bulk submit question sets. Bulk Submit is can be performed for any asset in draft state. It will submit all the draft content for review.

As a reviewer, the workflow remains as-is - I can review assets individually or bulk approve.

At the time of uploading, the upload page has options such as

  1. Upload as draft or Submit for review (on / off)

  2. Question set category: (list of primary categories in the project) [Should this be a column in the sheet?]

Decision tree

  1. Upload question sets in the project

    1. Format for each question type

    2. Format for all question types

  2. Upload questions in a question set

    1. Format for each question type

    2. Format for all question types

Open questions

  1. Should user upload Question set in a sourcing project or Upload questions in a Question set?

  2. Should we have separate CSV formats for each question (interaction) type (primary category) or one single format supporting all types?

    1. Expectation is that each question is checked for validation before uploading

  3. Should Images be supported? What are the limitations?

  4. Questions and Question sets should be in separate sheets - Yes / No?

  5. Benefits of using individual formats is that we can do client side validations such as.. Validations during upload (real-time) for Content upload

    1. Name of the columns

    2. Mandatory column cannot be blank

    3. Maximum 300 content per sheet

  6. Other validations that happen async on server

    1. URL Validation while downloading from source (Google Drive)

    2. Framework values matching

    3. Primary category

    4. File Size limit

    5. ..
