Develop Live Polling

[Durbin-Elijah]

User story statement

“As a Professor, I want to be able to send polls to students live, so that I can gauge their knowledge in the current moment.”

Background

• Why do we want it?

The main purpose of the software is to allow for live polling in a classroom, so we need to track the progress of developing this feature

• Who is this for?

This is for professors who want to use this software in their classroom

• Do we have data to support it?

We can see the software that is being used currently and the uses it has for this exact purpose

Solution/Requirements

Functional:

• Multiple choice questions

• Multi-select questions

• Live in class

Non-Functional:

• From the time the professor submits a question their should be a maximum of 10 seconds for it to appear on students devices

Design resources: N/A

Dependencies:

• Blocked by Issue 18: Backend evaluation

Without a proper backend the program can’t run let alone running in real time

• Blocking 19: Poll Results dashboard

Without the polling system developed there can be no dashboard of results

The server should run and we should establish a system for real time interaction between clients such as SocketIO

Estimate: around 5 story points including SocketIO or equivalent

Open Questions

What will the design be for a webpage waiting to receive a question?

Definition of done

• Live polling can be done while the server is running

• Questions received within 10 seconds for client

• Professor client receives notifications for clients that send answers
