Outreachy Winter 2022: Applicants tasks/contributions: Creating/planning MOOCs

[BatoolMM]

🎊 Welcome Outreachy 2022 Contributors! We're excited that you're here 🎉

This ticket will serve as the central point tracking the contributions of perspective Outreachy (Winter 2022 cohort) applicants.

Outreachy provides paid remote, three-month internships to support diversity in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). For more information about what Outreachy is, follow this link.

Outreachy internships are:

💵 Paid - $7,000 USD total internship stipend

🌍 Remote - both interns and mentors work remotely

🕰 3 months - internships run May to August.

For those interested, this process is described here.

We ask all outreachy candidates to work on a minimum of 3 projects simultaneously so that they are not completely relying on their selection in OSCSA if we end up not selecting them!

Summary

Open Science community Saudi Arabia (OSCSA) was established in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which focuses on installing values, enhancing knowledge and improving equal access to education. It aims to provide a place where newcomers and experienced peers interact, inspire each other to embed open science practices and values in their workflows and provide feedback on policies, infrastructures and support services. Our community is part of the International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities (INOSC).

Open Science has developed materials of its own and collaborated with other communities to the ruse and localise their materials, but none of it is incorporated within the website.

How to start?

• Join OSCSA community here
• Go through the code of conduct.

Submission

• Submit a new issue with PR. Use our template for both issue and PR
• Explain in your PR what you did and what do you think needs improving?

Tasks for Intern Selection:

Task 1, 2 and 3 are completed in this issue Open-Science-Community-Saudi-Arabia/OSCSA_Website#12

Task 4

Open Science Community would like to develop Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which are free online courses available for anyone to enrol. We have developed our own materials and will also reuse materials from Open Life Sciences and Turing Way. In order to do that, we need to develop a platform where a participant can log in, view videos and written materials as lessons. This will be similar to Udemy and other platforms for MOOCs. Your task is to create a demo of the website using any backend technology. You don't have to create the next Udemy, only a demo and showing how you can implement functionality in the website.

• Don't use Moodle
• Arabic alignment should work well
• The participants should be able to type code in some of the exercises.
• If you can't provide all functionality, provide your plan of how you can implement them.
• The PR won't be merged, multiple applications are allowed with this task only!

You need to create an issue outlining your plan and how you attempted to take the 1st step in creating this MOOCs platform.

Task 5

This is described in Open-Science-Community-Saudi-Arabia/OSCSA-en-blog#6

Task 6

This is described in Open-Science-Community-Saudi-Arabia/OSCSA-en-blog#6

Meetings

We will lead an online video call (on Zoom) to answer any questions you have. This will be on Tuesday, the 18th of October, at 12:10 pm UTC!

• Candidate should be comfortable opening issues and PR with elaborate descriptions.

Communication

Maintainers will answer your questions under the issue or Github Discussion from 10:00am - 4:00pm UTC. Please avoid communicating through emails unless it is necessary.

[oEbuka]

@oEbuka a meeting is going on now here meet.google.com/zth-eoem-nnx Also, the conversation is going on here #2

I missed the meeting yesterday, is there a way I could get the briefing?

[RealRichi3]

Thanks @BatoolMM , just to be clear, do you mean i should explain how the project is structured in terms of how the folders are organized and also explain the purpose of the folders.
For example utils i should say it's used to store files which their functions that are frequently imported
Then outline how contributions should be made and what areas contributions should be made to.

Is this what you mean?

[sandygudie]

@BatoolMM Thank you for the merge privilege.🙌

@RealRichi3 my thoughts
Add a CONTRIBUTING.md file just like a README.md file to the backend folder, the CONTRIBUTING.md file would explain how to

• run/ set up the backend project,
• the project structure,
• explain each file and what it does,
• the tools/technology used in the project,
• how to contribute to the project(cloning, issues, creating a branch, making a PR etc)
• existing APIs
• you can add other details you feel is relevant to the project

you can get some ideas from here

[RealRichi3]

Thanks @sandygudie, i get it now

[sandygudie]

@BatoolMM @RealRichi3
The frontend deployment link :https://oscsa-moocs.netlify.app/

[BatoolMM]

This is fantastic, thank you @sandygudie. Can we link both the backend and front end and deploy them in the same app? right now, the backend doesn't seem to be working at all.

[sandygudie]

i think the backend has to be hosted on a separate server(like hosting platform such as Heroku) and then consumed as APIs on the frontend,
@RealRichi3 can the frontend consume endpoints directly from the backend?

[RealRichi3]

The backend has been hosted separately on render, you only need to read the documentation on how to consume the endpoints

[RealRichi3]

I already hosted the Backend API on render, and it works fine when making requests from postman, You can import the postman JSON from here then read the documentation https://github.com/Open-Science-Community-Saudi-Arabia/MOOCs/blob/560c2941548f49b11196c3ee4fe70bdd81357664/backend_API/src/API%20doc/MOOCs.postman_collection.json

[RealRichi3]

@BatoolMM @sandygudie, here's a sample request i sent to the backend API using postman.

it works fine

[RealRichi3]

@sandygudie i just published the API doc here, please check it out https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/20633788/2s8YemuZwv

[sandygudie]

Awesome @RealRichi3
i will a bit of testing from my end

[RealRichi3]

@BatoolMM considering #2 is the only significant proposal for the MOOC platform demo, does this mean it won't remain at just being a demo? Then you can review and more contributions will be made to make it full scale

[RealRichi3]

@sandygudie, what's the update on linking the front end to the endpoints for authentication, have you been able to do it?

[sandygudie]

i will get on it, I wanted to complete the landing page and relevant setup first

[RealRichi3]

@sandygudie Alright then, the backend API is complete, once you're ready to start using the other endpoints, let me know so i can update the API doc

[anslemkelechi]

@sandygudie Alright then, the backend API is complete, once you're ready to start using the other endpoints, let me know so i can update the API doc

@RealRichi3

Can you share access to the API doc, so I can contribute also.

[RealRichi3]

@anslemkelechi
What's your postman email address?

[anslemkelechi]

@anslemkelechi

What's your postman email address?

Hi @RealRichi3
It's [email protected]

[RealRichi3]

@anslemkelechi alright, i'll send you an invite

[RealRichi3]
