Reports for Instructor

[srtfisher]

Create a reports tab under "Instructor Management" with the following:

• [ ] Late/expired tasks (Late Task Actions)
• [ ] Assignment Status (Workflow Status)
• [ ] Grades for all students in a section (for instructors)
• [ ] Grades for a particular student in a section (for instructors)
• [ ] Student Status (for instructors)
• [ ] My Grades (for students)
• [ ] Student Status (for instructors)
• [ ] Student Status (for students)

Each is described below.

Report/Action: Late Task Actions

(edited to include Kevin's idea from #99 about extending the task duration, and suggested report location)

We might want a separate report of expired tasks (cancelled workflows), but more function would be a way to handle tasks when they are late. This could include making them expired (option 5 below).

For late tasks, (A) display the assignment, problem statement, course-section-semester, task type, task status, task due date, student responsible, student email address.

(B) Then give the instructor 5 action choices:

1. do nothing (wait - the task will remain in "late" status)
2. extend the task duration by the following number of days: [ ](the task will switch to "extended" status)
3. assign the task to another student and extend the task duration by the following number of days: [ ](the task will switch to "pending - extended" status) (Who? by default anyone at random who has completed that task already, and who meets contingency conditions)
4. assign the task to the instructor
5. stop this workflow instance. (be sure to ask the instructor "Do you really want to cancel this question and all its subsequent tasks? Are you sure you don't want to reassign this instead?")

Notes:

• Display the task status ("late" until the instructor chooses a different option)
• Once the instructor does 1 or 4, the late task will remain on this list until it is completed. The status should show which option the instructor chose.
• Once the task is completed; or extended or stopped (2, 3, 5), it is removed from this report.

Where to display report:

• So that instructors notice this, perhaps we should create a new menu button within "My Tasks" for instructors called "My Instructor Tasks" which is next to "My Tasks" in the dashboard. This new area could have all kinds of important tasks that instructors need to manage quickly. Right now, just late tasks would be listed here.
• In this case the menu buttons should be renamed:
  • Pending Regular Tasks
  • Pending Instructor Tasks
  • Completed Regular Tasks
  • All Regular Tasks
• Down the road, we can create a new workflow to handle late tasks, and then these could be merged in with the "regular tasks" of an instructor. For each late task, a new task would be started that gives the instructor the 5 choices above, and then appears in the Pending Regular Tasks of the instructor. (We need to think this "down the road" item through some more...)
• Alternatively (or in addition) we may wish to put this in Instructor Management, but I'm having a hard time figuring out where. Maybe somewhere in Section Management (since tasks may be late in multiple assignments at a single time).

Additional Reports

Report: Assignment Status (Workflow Status)

Instructors will want to see a map of the workflow status for each assignment. It could be set up as a table for now with each row being a task, and each column a workflow instance. Then inside the table, show who was assigned to that task instance, it's start time, end time and status.

Of course we should not use the term "workflow" as per #74.

At the bottom of the workflow repeat two rows:

1. Name of the student who solved the problem
2. total final score

Where to display report:

• Section Management >> Section Assignments (under Operations)
• and also optionally repeat in Assignment Management >> View Assignment (under Operations)

Report: Grades (for all students in section)

A separate table could be the grading table with each row being the student name, and each column being the assignment title. The cells would be the grade where the student was the problem solver.

The report should be sorted by student last name.

Where to display report:

• Section Management >> Section Assignments
  • add as a link at the top of the page along with Create New Assignment

---

Report: Grades (for a particular student in section)

A separate table could be the grading table with each row being the assignment name, and a second column with the student grade, where the student was the problem solver.

Sort the report rows by some measure of the assignment end date or start date???

Where to display report:

• Section Management >> Section Users (inside operations)

---

Note, these tables are just for this first prototype. They may be too simplistic as we get to different types of assignments and workflows.

Report: Student Status (for instructors)

This could be a report for one student (Instructor chooses from pull down list) or for all students in the section. It could be for all assignments or a single assignment.

• Where to display report: Section Management >> Section Assignments
  • add as a link at the top of the page along with Create New Assignment (for all assignments)
  • Section Management >> Section Assignments (under Operations - for individual assignments)
• Also in Section Management >> Section Users (inside operations - for individual students)

See the following information for all tasks the student has been assigned to in the section:

• course-section-semester
• student name
• assignment
• problem statement (original if the student created it, edited otherwise)
• task
• task status
• time started
• time completed (if completed)
• link to see the workflow instance contents, with this task highlighted.

---

Report: Student Status (for students)

If the Student Status report is useful, then we could restructure "Completed tasks" and "All tasks" as this kind of report. In this case, each course could be an accordion block and each assignment could be an accordion block within the course.

Report: My Grades

under construction

A table with the following information:

• course-section-semester
• assignment name
• edited problem statement (first X characters)
• solution (first X characters)
• final grade
• "link to full entry" (i.e., link to the complete workflow instance content as you'd see in Everyone's Work)

Where to display report:

• My Classes - Add a "Grades" column. (This is probably the only column with a link for now.)
  • For instructors this will normally be an empty table, unless they chose to complete the "create solution" task if it was late in a task instance. (See late actions at the top of this issue.)
