Need to check what we can do with Chrome extensions for automatically collecting solutions for exams

ron4548 commented 5 years ago

Chrome APIs we might want to use:

downloads: Use the chrome.downloads API to programmatically initiate, monitor, manipulate, and search for downloads.
desktopCapture: Desktop Capture API that can be used to capture content of screen, individual windows or tabs.

We can use "downloads API" to detect that a user is downloading a scan from grades.technion.ac.il. Scan url format: https://grades.technion.ac.il/scanexam.ashx?ScanID=XXXXXX Then we can allow the user to pick pages from this PDF (pdf editor in js need to be determined as a separate issue). We have course information from Grades website so the process is semi-automatic.
