The Analyst Update

Background

Pedagogy is a performance management tool for education professionals. It is developed within Algoritma, a data science education center.

New Version Features

This release includes:

• Features

  • Change Password setting
    • Implemented a "reset password by email" feature that uses JWT web tokens for security. Clicking on link generates a token unique to each user, sent to the registered email address, and allow for password reset
  • Error Logging
    • Anytime the app crash (which should be a pretty rare occurrence now after the Feb 2019 fix), instead of relying on the logs (current process) on Azure portal - We now have this error logged and then conveniently mailed to maintainers of the app
  • Analyst Role
    • Added an Analyst role-check for user accounts. This prepares for #19 in the future and support extra functionalities that make Pedagogy even better as a performance management app
  • Prettier login and registration pages
  • Minor CSS enhancements for consistency in style throughout the website

• Fixes

  • Bug fixes on #8 (Now survey forms can and will expire)
    • I've implemented a simple expiry system so survey forms for past workshops beyond certain duration (currently: 10 days) will no longer be accessible. I know it may not be the most elegant or robust - but for our business use-case this suffice.
