Dev Back-Log

Bug List

• Task priority defaults to 0, should default to 3 and there should be a check that 1 <= p <= 5
• Keep getting logged out.

Must Fix for Alpha Testers

• I added some questions to a quiz I had already taken, but they did not appear in quiz_link_user_question
• Have a question in my deck that does not exist. I assume it was deleted. Need to add something to clean those out once in a while
• Encoding Fiasco
  • Move database to PDO
  • Disable "enable-magic-quotes"
  • Remove stripslashes where it's used
  • TEST EVERYTHING
• Remember Me
• quiz/manage
  • Move search to another page
  • Change "Quiz Backlog" to "Want to Know"
  • Change "Quiz Deck" to "Already Know"
  • "My Courses" to "Enrolled Courses"
  • "Owned *" to "My *"
• I believe that when I started a new quiz in DT where my time was <10m, I switched over to the Quiz timer. I'm also not sure I have escape logic for DT over.
• I once observed the unseen count go negative
• Sometimes the re-ask flag fails. I believe this has to do with the negative count

Move To Live

• Start Alpha users (testers)
• BUG: if you copy a value from session to a local variable, changes to it will not be reflected in the session. For instance, if a question is copied to a local variable and the score is updated, the new score will not persist.
• Write tests (at least some)

Gamification

• Render rank to homepage
  • Recent Achievements and points awarded
  • Score for next belt
  • Upcoming achievements
• Add all belt colors
• Start adding other achievements from list
• Rough out a calculation for achievements (should take 1 year of regular training to reach black)
• Check for rank change when updating user points
• Achievements
  • Set email
  • Set Encryption key
  • Adding a quiz
  • Adding a curriculum
  • First NBack
  • First 3-back
  • First journal entry
  • First daily training
  • Daily training 3 in a week
    • 6 in a week
    • 3 in a row
  • All sorts of 'anniversaries' 10 NBacks, 100 questions, 5 quizzes...

Testers

Before the testers start, make a few of the crucial tutorials. Do some simple screencasts. Also, get a few quizzes and curriculums loaded up so that the users will have something to learn that will interest them.

• 1st Pass: Track down bugs and major usability issues
  • Bells
  • Aaron
  • Wade
• 2nd Pass: Start generating content and seeing how to engage users
  • Lauren
  • Mikey
  • Rileys
  • Scott
• 3rd Pass: Confirm that the site functions, draws people in and performs as expected
  • Dave
  • Alex
  • Parents
  • Aunt Pam
  • Graces

Secondary Log

Journal

• Handle case that user has lost their encryption key

NBack

• Re-record NBack sounds
• Test speakers button at start of dual NBack
• Improve NBack Graph
  • Better data labels
  • Show after NBack
  • Show after all Daily Training NBack
• I think it's registering Miss's even when it's registering the corresponding keypress (hard to reproduce). May be a timing issue.

Quiz

• After editing a question, jump to that spot in the question list (good for when reviewing questions)
• Show Curriculum in Spaced Repetition toolbar when quiz is part of a curriculum
• When user hits save show "Saved" for 1 second then fade out
• Quiz description as mark-down
  • Make sure links open in new tab
• Bulk add should trim any odd-blank rows (currently inserts an empty question)
• Only show Owned content divs on quiz manager if there is owned content to display
• Remove old quiz management code
• Convert questions to objects
• For quiz training, change minimum deck size to 10
• Put the 'repeat' function back into Spaced Repetition
• Don't allow quiz timeout until question answered correctly
• Customized spaced repetition
  • I am collecting data in quiz_tbl_repetition_statistics (user, accuracy, delay, correct)
  • I think I should also be collecting iteration
  • I want to find the optimal, per user curve based on that data
  • I also want an optimal general curve that users will start on until the data fills in
  • To plot this data, one dimension will be accuracy, the other will be delay, a colored dot will be placed for correct/incorrect. A separate graph needs to be made for each iteration. A clear boundary should appear (with enough data). From this we can calculate the 90% formula.
• Have the home/cleanup page hit with a cron job once a day
• Quiz reversibility
• Images in questions
• Sounds in questions
• Make Quiz Descriptions more accessable
  • From Memorize toolbar
  • From SR toolbar
  • For quizzes from manage page
  • For curriculum quizzes from manage page
• Question changes
  • When a user edits a question, unlink the old question and link the new one
  • Change cleanup script
  • Alert users when they start quiz training if their questions are out of date, then update
• Move question to another quiz in curriculum
• Add an approve step to bulk import (show q&a before they are put in the database)
• Only display Encrypted for encrypted entries
• View Journal entries not wrapping correctly (only when extremely long with no spaces)
• Quiz Manager
  • Show all current quizzes in a curriculum
  • Remove quizzes in that curriculum from backlog
  • Return quizzes to backlog
  • When removing a curriculum, give the user the option to leave questions in deck
  • Let user add specific quizzes from a curriculum
  • Let user add specific questions from a quiz
• When a user transitions a public quiz to private, warn them that any current users will still have access to the quiz
• Add a time limit for quizzes (this is sort of necessary for basic math quiz)

Root

• Change menu to select box in small format display (Hanselman hack)
• Remember me on this computer
• Homepage Dashboard
  • email address
  • next 10 quizzes in backlog
  • small nback graph
  • journal entry page
• A tutorials menu may not be optimal, perhaps a sub menu on each other menu, or one item on Moon-Jumper with sub-sub menus
• Make top level menu's links
• Allow users to customize their daily training settings
  • Handle home/trainingSettings
  • Check that trainingTime is a number
  • Issue a warning if training time is to short
  • Estimate how much time will be spent on quizzing
• Add a reminder to the homepage for quizzes&curriculum (if backlog empty)
• for confirm email, pass in both email and hash, match both to confirm (instead of just hash)
• Put a floating box in the upper corner for daily training ("Continue Daily Training") link to next step.
• Auto Log-in
  • Use cookies
  • If user goes to a login required page, allow them to auto-login and stay on the page.

Gamification

• Animate adding points
• Add the "incrementing" sound
• Animate level up with sound

Someday

• Send questions to front-end using Ajax and have JavaScript handle the whole quiz, sending data back as you go.
• Focus monitoring
• Learning profiler (audio, visual, graphs, numeric, words)
• Look into grants

The learning curve follows a pattern of 1-e^(-Ax - B), plug it into a graph and you'll see. Right now, most of my data for first review is clustered so tightly, that it only shows up as a straight line, but N =3 and 4 is starting to show a curve. I need to get a lot of data and many, many users before I can start on this. Eventually I should be able to get a really good general formula, and start to get custom timing for each user.

Marketing

• Ask friends and family to spread the word
• Research marketing
• MSU
  • Find most taken classes and build content targeting them
  • Put up fliers posters, take out ads
  • Create a short cut to get users up and running quickly (QR code?)
• High-School
  • Quiz Bowl teams
  • Talk to my former teachers
• Web
  • Find sites/blogs that could be interested:
    • Life-Hacker
    • BoingBoing
    • Reddit
  • Try to get them to cover the site
