New Feature: Student Roster

Though the primary goal of eduSteem is to give small non-traditional schools a way to manage their classrooms and lessons it came apparent that the way we were handling students was not going to work for even medium size class rooms. It also failed to take into account one of our long term goals in the creation of what my educational consultant calls "Virtual Co-ops".

The old way of student management (shown above) was found in the left hand menu.

The new "Student Roster" page takes the old method and moves it to its own page and as the userbase grows the ability to sort the students by various criteria will be added.

Implementation

Pull request (6)

With most of the core functions complete we are mostly working on interface design in this update. Most of the work is found in the ClassEdit.qml and student.js files.

The rest of the work was done in network.js which contains the OpenSeed network calls except for authentication.

Other improvements

The new student dialog has changed to reflect the rest of the interface design. It also includes several more fields to help teachers keep better track of their students.

This work can be found in the NewStudentAccount.qml for those interested.

eduSteem is going through a development sprint. These weekly updates, help keep me on track as well as giving those that are interested detailed reporting of my progress. The goal is to have it ready for use in a small school setting by the end of July. For further reading check out these other posts here on Steemit.
