The ORA Staff Grading App is a micro-frontend (MFE) staff grading experience for Open Response Assessments (ORAs). This experience was designed to streamline the grading process and enable richer previews of submission content and, eventually, replace on-platform grading workflows for ORA.
When enabled, ORAs with a staff grading step will link to this new MFE when clicking "Grade Available Responses" from the ORA or link in the instructor dashboard.
The ORA Staff Grader depends on the lms/djangoapps/ora_staff_grader
app in edx-platform
.
The devstack is currently recommended as a development environment for your
new MFE. If you start it with make dev.up.lms
that should give you
everything you need as a companion to this frontend.
Note that it is also possible to use Tutor to develop an MFE. You can refer to the relevant tutor-mfe documentation to get started using it.
First, clone the repo, install code prerequisites, and start the app.
1. Clone your new repo: ``git clone [email protected]:openedx/frontend-app-ora-grading.git`` 2. Use node v18.x. The current version of the micro-frontend build scripts support node 18. Using other major versions of node *may* work, but this is unsupported. For convenience, this repository includes an .nvmrc file to help in setting the correct node version via `nvm <https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm>`_. 3. Install npm dependencies: ``cd frontend-app-ora-grading && npm install`` 4. Update the application port to use for local development: Default port is 1993. If this does not work for you, update the line `PORT=1993` to your port in all .env.* files 5. Start the dev server: ``npm start``
The app will, by default, run on http://localhost:1993 unless otherwise
specified in .env.development:PORT
and .env.development:BASE_URL
.
Next, enable the ORA Grading micro-frontend in edx-platform
- Add the path to the ORA Grading app in edx-platform:
- Go to your environment settings (e.g. edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py)
- Add the environment variable,
ORA_GRADING_MICROFRONTEND_URL
pointing to the ORA Grading app location (e.g.http://localhost:1993
).
- Start / restart the
edx-platform
lms
. - Enable the ORA Grading feature in Django Admin.
- Go to Django Admin ({lms-root}/admin)
- Navigate to
django-waffle
>Flags
and clickadd/enable a new flag
. - Add a new flag called
openresponseassessment.enhanced_staff_grader
and enable it.
From there, visit an Open Response Assessment with a Staff Graded Step and click the "View and grade responses" button to begin grading in the ORA Staff Grader experience.
