README
======

This simple readme file is a log of development and  a (vague) intent of what's to come.

Course Status
-------------
All courses are in one of the following statuses:
CONCEPT: Pre-development (so they're in my brain!)
PREDEV: In development, but not yet online
ALPHA: On the system but not ready for the public
BETA: On the system, ready to be used, but not fully tested
RELEASE: Ready to go - use at will.

Courses
-------
Generally speaking, module development will aim to move pre-dev modules to
alpha before starting work on concept modules. This is because a lot of the 
pre-dev modules existed on the previous system and "simply" need moving across.

BETA: Flowol
ALPHA: Scratch - Bat Shooter
PREDEV: Python Programing
PREDEV: Basics of Computer Science
PREDEV: Python Turtle
PREDEV: Web Design Basics
PREDEV: Data representation
PREDEV: BBC Microbit Programmign in Python
PREDEV: Using the Internet (Project)
PREDEV: Networks and Networking
PREDEV: Using Word for Formatting Documents
PREDEV: Murder Mountain: Microsoft Access
PREDEV: Computational Thinking
PREDEV: Basic Algorithms
CONCEPT: Excel/Spreadsheet Modelling (again, a number of well-develped PREDEV modules need amalgamating)
CONCEPT: Murder Mountain: MySQL
CONCEPT: Introduction to MySQL
CONCEPT: Internet Safety (actually a number of existing PREDEV that need manipulating into one)
CONCEPT: Computer Components (will probably combine existing PREDEV Y7 & Y8 Courses)


Developments
------------
These developments are at some stage of completion ranging from "I'm working on them now"
to "That's a nice idea - but time is something that happens to other people."

- Change content page to make better use of CSS styles (and relative sizes)
- Add youtube embeds
- Administration module to administer students in claasses, teachers in classes, etc
- Administration module for *us* to administer school/module access, etc
- Web-based course development module
- Marking reports
- Peer support system
- Quiz system
- "What you should see" in marking document
- Adjustable number of marks when marking.
- Log on with Google

v2.1
----
Added embed code for repl links. Note: Need to remove the #filename bit! 
Added additional submission type (URL)
Added additional page size to make better use of embedded repls (might go back and use this size for other modules...)

v2.0
----
Completed May 2022, a complete re-write of a system developed quite some years ago.
System is in 'beta' version but more courses are needed.
