jeroendoggen/blackboard-analysis-tools

An analysis automation tool to avoid repetitive tasks while grading student assignments that have been handed in through the Blackboard learning system

blackboard-analysis-tools's Issues

Windows version

Test the software on Windows
Install from PyPI (is this possible/easy on Windows?)
Create some other kind of Windows installer? (is there a repository/marketplace?)

Output options selectable

Select the output mode:

• folder per student
• folder per assignment
• other?

Unexpected crash (string processing error?)

When: processing a .zip file (assignment name: "Examen (hier uploaden)")
Error message:

Create a GUI

http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter
http://www.wxpython.org/
http://kivy.org

Create config files

Setting up detection strings etc.
(overriding all info in settings.py)

Clean up classes

Passing of "settings" object (multiple times)
Killing tool in logging class
Duplicate code?
Using properties where possible

Deploy the tool to a cloud provider

Configuration

Separate configuration settings from the source code (in a config file)

Optimise execution speed

Increase the speed:

• use multiple processes to unzip files in parallel (is the process IO or CPU bound?)
• speed up scanning of files (are we doing the same thing multiple times?)
• use better algorithms

readme file

Readme.md & txt multiple files.
remove the ones that are not needed (check pypi & debian packages)

Read cli parameters

Copy code from: "arduino-testsuite"

Commandline parameters

Accept commandline parameters:

-h --help
-o --outputfolder
-i -- inputfolder
