Feature.just in time

[zjevik]

This work was done by Florida International University and it adds Just-in-time behaviour similar to: http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Just-In-Time#.XJ18N-tKhQI to IMathAS.

This adds a new type of assignments. These assignments are modal in the way that if a student answers a problem correctly all it's child problems are marked correct.

I think that when formatting the code, my editor automatically removed spaces at the end of lines and hence so many files changed. I can try to do a clean pull of your master and add the changed files.

Thanks very much for sharing this! I look forward to exploring what you've done here.

At this point I'm only making bug-fix changes to current assessment player, as I'm in the middle of a ground-up rewrite, so it's unlikely that I'll merge this into the main repo. But I am considering ways to do something similar in the new player, and may selectively bring in some of the work you've done here.

I'm glad to help. Are you pushing the new assessment player into the feature.new_assessplayer branch? Just so that I can keep an eye on it and possibly merge it later.

Also, we got approved for implementing polls in IMathAS for our students and I plan on adding geofencing for students and simple UI for non STEM faculty for adding multiple choice questions/short answer/etc.

Yes, the new player is being developed in feature.new_assessplayer.

If you can come up with simple UI for question writing that works better than the existing "Tutorial style editor" (which currently serves that purpose), that'd be lovely.
