Setup

Certain files/folders are being .gitignore'd, so you will need to create them yourself. These include:

1. src/.env: This file contains the environment variables for the backend. Copy the contents of src/.env_example, create a src/.env file yourself, and paste the contents into this file.
2. src/node_modules: This folder contains all the dependencies for the project. Run npm install in the src folder to install all the dependencies.

Once all necessary files/folders are added, run docker compose up with Docker Desktop open on your computer. This will start:

• The application on port 3000
• The database on port 5432
• Redis on port 6379

PrairieLearn Gamification

Automating Database Question Generation and Marking (B)

Description

This project extends a pre-existing project from 2022 using an open source version of PrairieLearn, a platform allowing automatic practice question generation/marking using Python. Due to 2 different groups working on this project, our group (group “B”) has the primary objective of extending the functionality of the existing PrairieLearn system by adding support for the gamification of PrairieLearn courses. This enhancement is intended to add engagement and interactivity within the classroom, providing a more enjoyable learning experience for students across various disciplines. In achieving this, we will meet the evolving needs of learners and educators in the digital age.
