Assessments Archival

There are a few work items being taken up in order to close on the capability to archive assessments data. Data archival is part of the larger strategy to be able to better manage the large amounts of data that can quickly get amassed, and Course data archival is being done in two parts - assessments data archival, and progress data archival.

Items taken up on this front include:

  • Enhancements for assessments archival jobs rolled out in 4.4 to handle additional failure scenarios

  • Load Testing

  • Computation of best score and max score - to update the activity aggregator and store score-related metrics

  • Data product changes to support assessments archival (Progress exhaust as well as Question response exhaust)

 

Progress data Archival

Design reviews for implementation of Progress data archival

 

Ability for users to select multiple sub roles - tracking changes

A change is being introduced to allow a user to select multiple sub-roles in place of just one. This is to support real world use cases where some people often play more than one role (a teacher is also a HM and a CRC), and to permit easier discovery of content that is relevant to all the roles on the platform

The tracking team will require to carry out some changes to ensure multiple selection is possible, and reporting also works seamlessly

 

Support for optional materials in a course - Backend changes

All material included in a course as of today contributes towards course progress and course completion. There is a need for a course to have ‘optional material’ that does not contribute towards progress/ certification criteria etc.

This item will be taken up to ensure all backend changes necessary for such optional material support are in place

 

Additional Information to be shown on scan of Certificate QR

All certificates today include a QR code that allows anybody to scan it, retrieve the original from the server, and verify its authenticity. A need has been articulated to show some additional information about the user (location details, best attempt score for assessment) when the certificate QR code is scanned.

 

Indexing of UTM parameters

Updates to the previous implementation of indexing of UTM parameters for making them available for reporting

Deletion of system roles that are no longer in active use

The list of current roles has been reviewed across teams, and a subset that is no longer in active use is being deleted

Other tech backlog

Monitoring and logging related changes

Design and POC for error codes implementation

Improve code coverage of Learner Service

Refactoring of bulk upload modules for Org, Location and User.
