Lecturers should be able to categorise questions #295

iteles commented 7 years ago

As a lecturer, I would like to add one of the following categories to any questions I choose so that I can later provide more targeted feedback to students and perform more detailed analysis tasks: factual, conceptual or application.

Agreed in our workshop that these would be hard-coded for now but will need to be editable by super admins in future so please take this into account. It would be good to also ensure the architecture of this is modular enough to allow for n number of categories to be added to a particular client's setup in future, so please think about variables and permissions when determining the implementation and providing your estimates. We may well need to come up with a 'dumbed down' version estimate and a more complete, future-proofing estimate.

More detail on the categories given by @stianr below (taken from this issue comment):

Factual: (Who did ... / In what year ... / How many ...)
Conceptual: (According to Theory X, what...)
Application: (If a car containing a helium balloon accelerates, in which direction does the balloon move? / After playing a nasty character on TV an actor receives death threats. What theory might account for that? / A patient present with the following symptoms ....)

Solution:

Create a categories table, which to start off with will only have 3 categories. Each category will be given a category_id -This will then be added to the questions table as an extra column called category_id. (with a relationship)
This future-proofs this concept as well

Todo

[ ] create a new table in db
[ ] link this to questions table under a column (category_id)
[ ] update the saving/editing of questions in server-side so that the database adds the category to each question. (i.e. when saving a question, it should contain the new category_id in the payload to save in the database)
[ ] update the UI so that questions can be given one of the categories using a drop-down

[ ] Also ensure that the /getQuestion endpoint so that it serves up the categories associated with the question.
