sendResults();

Should we add to the function sendResults(); something so the results are sent to the teacher? I'm not sure if this is something we want, or if we want to take the results of all the students so it's sent as a digest.

Interesting question, Taran. A teacher doesn't want to get 25 emails every period, but we can't wait a day to sen them a notification — and this is different for each quiz. Why don't we add a dropdown menu on newquiz.html for selecting when results should be sent? Maybe three options, like this:

• Immediately (call Mandrill as soon as a quiz has been submitted)
• Every hour (call Mandrill every hour with new results)
• Every day (call Mandrill at maybe 8 PM with the day's results for each quiz)
• Never (don't send notifications)

Here I was using Mandrill. I think that by default, emails will be sent, as well as showing notifications (maybe Gritter until we look at Toastr) inside the app. On the Settings page, teacher could check boxes next to which channels they want notifications on, with these options:

• Email (checked by default)
• Through Chrome
• Boxcar (if they want them on their phones)

Gritter looks like a nice, simple way to do notifications, but if we need something more complex, there's Noty — but I'd rather use Gritter.

A few things:

• Teachers probably don't want notifications in Boxcar, so we're not going to bother building them
• For notifications, we're using email and browser. No Gritter or any other in-app notifications, just notify.js notifications that work in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Of course, this can still be unchecked.
