[Proposal] Graded Discussions MVP

cassiezamparini commented 7 months ago

Product Coordinator: @cassiezamparini

Abstract

Currently, course teams and students use the Open edX Discussion Micro Frontend (MFE) to share ideas, views, and ask questions. However, there is no process for course admins to assign grades to student discussion responses. It should be possible to grade participation in discussions and factor this grading into a learner’s score for a course.

Context & Background

Arizona State University would like a way to grade their discussions, but due to budget constraints they cannot fund the entire proposed MVP.

Scope & Approach

Value & Impact

See Use Cases section in the product proposal.

Milestones and/or Epics

Course Admins cannot assign points to learner discussion responses. Enforcing a grade will encourage students to participate in discussions, swap ideas, and interact with their peers.
Course Admins cannot define the criteria of the discussion grade in the discussion settings. Defining the criteria of a discussion grade will encourage how often students participate, as well as the content of their participation.

Thank you for some of your reviews so far. Because the conference is around the corner, I'm extending the review period to the 21st of July 2024. This will give you all a bit more time 😄

Update:

I'm currently reviewing all comments, doing a bit more research and will update this proposal in due course.

This scope needs to be reworked and pared down. I also have limited CC hours to contribute to this right now.

@cassiezamparini - with this needing to be reworked - does it make sense to update the status of this ticket to On-hold? Let me know what you think.

cassiezamparini commented 2 months ago

@crathbun428 Absolutely - I forgot to change the status when I changed the label to needs-rescoping 🙈 Thanks for the ping! All updated now.
