📘 Dependency Aware Assessment Generator

Team Members: Alakh Mathur(Team Lead), Omkar Kumar, Anand Jangid, Pavithra Krishnappa, Aditya Kumar Das

🔍 Problem Statement Create a system that generates formative assessments based on the prerequisite concepts of a target learning objective to ensure readiness before progression.

🛠️ Technology Stack

• Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js, Express
• Database: MongoDB
• Authentication: JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
• Routing: React Router DOM
• Tools: Git, GitHub, Postman

✨ Key Features

1. User Authentication – Secure login and registration system using JWT tokens.
2. Prerequisite Check – Users can input a learning topic and get a list of prerequisite topics they must complete.
3. Dynamic Learning Path – Based on prerequisites, the system guides the user on what to learn next.
4. Quiz Generator – Each prerequisite comes with an option to Learn or Take Quiz.
5. User Progress Tracking – Tracks user’s completed topics and prevents repetition.
6. Protected Dashboard– Only accessible to authenticated users. Includes Logout functionality and token validation.
7. Responsive UI – Built using Tailwind CSS for sleek and responsive design.

🏗️ System Architecture The application is structured as follows:

• Client Side (React App)
  • Handles UI rendering, routing, and local token storage.
  • Interacts with backend APIs for data.
• Server Side (Node + Express)
  • Handles API endpoints for user management, topic prerequisites, and user progress.
  • Validates JWT for secure endpoints.
• MongoDB
  • Stores user information, topic dependencies, and progress.

🚀 Future Enhancements (that we will soon ready up)

• AI-powered prerequisite graph builder.
• Role-based access (e.g., student, instructor).
• Real-time collaboration during quizzes.
• Timer-based assessment submission.
• Graph visualization for prerequisite topic networks.
• Admin dashboard for managing topics and quizzes.

🧪 Getting Started

1. Clone the repo and checkout your team branch: git clone https://github.com/continuousactivelearning/cps git checkout -b team-AlakhMathur-assessment

2. Navigate to client and server directories and run:

   • npm install
   • npm start` (for standard React) (in one terminal)
   • npm run dev (for running server) (in another terminal)

3. Ensure MongoDB is running locally or provide a MongoDB Atlas connection URI.

4. Environment variables:

   • MONGO_URI=<your_mongo_uri>
   • JWT_SECRET=<your_jwt_secret>
