Project topics

A Project topic is an assignment: learners upload a file with their solution, and tutors review the submissions.

Add a project topic

1. In the program, add a topic and choose Project.
2. Describe the task in the topic’s Description (Open editor): what to do, what to hand in, in which format.
3. In Users to notify, pick the people who should get a notification when someone uploads a solution, usually the course tutors.
4. Save the topic.

Note

The notification is sent by e-mail through the “project solution created” template. An administrator has to set up that template; see Notifications and Templates.

Review submissions

Open the course editor’s User projects tab (/courses/list/<id>/user_projects). The table lists every uploaded file with the topic, the learner and the upload date, with Download and Delete.

Learners can upload a file of any type, and can see and delete their own submissions. The upload form exists in the legacy learner app; the reference front does not offer the upload yet.

The API also stores a grade and written feedback per submission (/api/admin/topic-project-solutions), but the admin panel does not show these fields yet.

Completion

A project topic is not completed automatically when a file is uploaded. In the reference front the learner presses Mark as complete.
