Runestone Development Roadmap

The ideas below need to have details and design added. Some ideas have been on the TODO list for several years, others are new.

Runestone Server

Goal: Serve 2 million students a day

  • Complete Python3 transition
  • Complete unittest coverage
  • Move to dynamic pages for all books rather than the (re)build system
  • Add Visualizations from the the AC dashboard to the instructors page
  • Progress page needs to be re-done to improve performance for large courses
  • Complete work on LTI integration with Canvas/Moodle and others with simple interface for teachers to set up
  • Run our own JOBE server for Java, et. al.
  • Dockerize
  • Mastery based learning environment -- cannot continue to next chapter until demonstrated mastery over current
  • Supporter badges
  • Copy assignments from course to course
  • template assignments for all courses based on FOPP?
  • Could we show page by page progress on every page of the book...
  • Revive code coach
    • Lint support
    • intelligent TIE integration

RunestoneComponents

Goal: To be the LaTeX of interactive authoring environments

  • Continue to build out pair programming features
  • Better Python3 support in Skulpt
  • Add blocks language support
  • Integration with Collab or Jupyterlab
  • Update CodeLens to support Java, C++, Javascript
  • debugger for activcode
  • Create a REPL directive to include REPL in text
  • support SQL in activecode
  • Incorporate Brett Victor / Swift Playground ideas into activecode
  • create a sound module for sphinx to manipulate sound waves
  • Update dragndrop to allow for multiple matches with same category

Content

Goal: Provide the best, most compelling content for introductory computer science and data science at all levels (middle school, high school, college, university)

  • Many more Exercises can/should be autograded
  • Revisions to FOPP based on this year's feeedback
  • Finish the web fundamentals textbook
  • Instructor guide moved inside the textbook [make it a payable feature?]
  • Better pre/post tests for each chapter of FOPP
  • redo screencast videos
  • Possible new introductory material for 101
  • Re-design the look and feel of the textbook
    • improve the ability of students to navigate
    • provide feedback on progress at the bottom of each page
      • make it more clear when a student is on a non-login page versus the correct page for their course
