Quizzing With Confidence

Quizcon provides an alternative question type to faculty who use multiple choice questions as part of their assessments. The platform uses confidence-weighted multiple choice questions to give students an opportunity to not only receive partial credit in a multiple choice question, but to also more directly show their level of understanding of a specific concept.

Configuration

  1. Clone

    git clone https://github.com/ccnmtl/quizcon.git cd quizcon

  2. Create the database

    For Postgres:

    • Create a database user/password (if needed)
    • Create the database createdb quizcon
  3. Customize settings

    • Create a local_settings.py file in the quizcon subdirectory OR

    • Copy quizcon/settings_shared.py to quizcon/local_settings.py

    • Then, override the variables from settings_shared.py that you need to customize for your local installation.

      • Customize your DATABASES dictionary
        • e.g. set NAME, HOST, USER, and PASSWORD. remove PORT (unless it's non-standard)
      • Specify ALLOWED_HOSTS = [ 'localhost', '.your.blackboard.or.moodle.domain', '.your.workstation.domain', ]
    • The PYLTI_CONFIG variable in your local_settings.py configures the application consumers and secrets. Generate two long random numbers for these values.

      PYLTI_CONFIG = {
          'consumers': {
              '<random number string>': {
                  'secret': '<random number string>'
              }
          }
      }
      
  4. Build the virtual environment

    make will build the virtualenv

  5. Migrate the database
