More details about deploy(impact) InZone Challenge can be found here

Problem space:

• Poor internet connectivity affects the learning and teaching experience
• Students face an array of callenges that hinders their motivation to continue studying (e.g. extreme wather, distance in the camps...)
• The process to assign exams to students, grade them and share results is very manual and dependent on a centralized admin

Who are we designing for

Our value proposition:

1. Focus with Offline Mode
2. Preserve academic integrity with ExamMode
3. Ideas exchange with Messages platform
4. Automate tasks within a single platform
5. Foster collaboration between the different users

Signup:

New user can perfrom signup with a unique email address.
After signing up, the user can log in with provided email and password. However, but a verification from the admin is needed, in order for the new user to access the dashboard. As part of the demo, a new user can be validated with this curl command (NOTE: remember to replace the new_user@email with actual email of the new user):

curl -X PUT  https://edunity-backend.azurewebsites.net/student/new_user@email -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"validated_by_admin\":true}"

After running this command, on the next log in, the new user should see the dashboard.

Take exams from the dashboard:

Some of the user account has already been assigned some exam. For the purpose of demo, let us use the account edunity@gmail.com (password: Edunity12) Before login with this account, it is recommended to reset the exam of this account. To do so, run the command:

curl -X PUT  https://edunity-backend.azurewebsites.net/testing/edunity@gmail.com/reset-exam-taken-time -d "{}"

We now can log in with edunity@gmail.com account, and start taking exams from the dashboard.

Future improvements:

• Tackle current known limitations, such as:
  • Authentication: send verification code to every user after they create an account
• Enhance current mvp into a finite product
• Explore the potential to further automate the educational journey with a Moodle integration
