completion

A library for tracking completion of blocks by learners in edX courses.

Overview

This repository provides a Django model BlockCompletion that is intended to be plugged into edx-platform. It provides various handlers and services for the recording of completion data. It also provides a DRF API for submitting completion data in batches.

Enabling in the LMS

By default, the Open edX LMS does not use this library. To turn it on, go to http://localhost:18000/admin/waffle/switch/ (substitute your LMS URL for http://localhost:18000/), and add a new switch with Name completion.enable_completion_tracking and Active selected.

See Completion Tool in the Open edX documentation for details on what will happen once enabled.

Using with Docker Devstack

Prerequisite: Have your Open edX Devstack properly installed.

Note: When you see "from inside the lms" below, it means that you've run make lms-shell from your devstack directory and are on a command prompt inside the LMS container.

1. Clone this repo into ../src/ directory (relative to your "devstack" repo location). This will mount the directory in a way that is accessible to the lms container.

2. From inside the lms, uninstall completion and reinstall your local copy. You can just copy the following line:

   pip uninstall completion -y; pip install -e /edx/src/completion/
   

3. Now, get your completion development environment set up:

   cd /edx/src/completion
   virtualenv completion-env
   source completion-env/bin/activate
   make install
   

4. Don't forget to enable the waffle switch as described above in "Enabling in the LMS"

5. That's it! In order to simulate a given tox environment (django18, django111, quality), run tox -e <env> for the env in question. If you want to run pytest directly:

   pytest completion/tests/test_models.py
