[xapi] Attendance Tracking System #726

Open michael-collins opened 9 years ago

michael-collins commented 9 years ago

For hybrid courses (partly in-residence/partly online), keeping accurate record of attendance is required by policy. We need to build a tool, perhaps as part of the class roster, that can do this. However, I'd like to be able to view the end of semester as data visualization so I can make correlations to when assignments are due, what the weather was that day, and other events that might be happening to how often students are absent or late. Students should also be able to view their own data.

Maybe this can be worked into elmsln/elmsln#165 in some fashion

btopro commented 8 years ago

Maybe we could merge this into the Inbox and use a specialized type of xAPI statement ripped to the LRS to accomplish this. Students would have to go to a magic address / checkin / something of the sort and then it would emmit the statement that relates to attendence.

@mmilutinovic1313 also showed me a really cool prototype of using geotagged data in twitter to only harvest tweets from a geographic area. We could do something similar (IP wise) so that if you access the link and your not in the local IP range of that classroom geopositionally that it wouldn't let you check in

mmilutinovic013 commented 8 years ago

@btopro Twitter API has that potential as well. I am sure other APIs and or open source apps could harvest IP addresses for checkin. I'll look into this more ASAP.

Hi all! I was wondering if you guys had any new thoughts in what direction to head in this. I have this coded for Twitter, so if we go in that direction we can just tweak it and get another private key from Twitter API

btopro commented 8 years ago

umm.. his is off the radar as far as importance or if we'd even do it so nothing. can't rely on twitter alone for if someone is there

btopro commented 8 years ago

This could be something accomplished via xAPI.

There's a recipe for that too https://tincanapi.com/new-recipe-attendance/

Looks like someone at Penn State has been doing this using beacons and xAPI. Might be worth tracking him down for a chat:

@rickhumphries lol, i've reached out to him, hope to hear back soon / meet up if he's interested. That's hilarious / the way a big R1 works. Don't know what someone 10 minutes down the road (in the college I graduated from) is doing :)

btopro commented 7 years ago

@djfusco would have thoughts and examples on how to approach this

btopro commented 7 months ago

@djfusco back from the dead -- couldn't we just wire this up to a google sheet so that it's recording some detail there?
