Organizer flow for events with students

What's the organizer flow look like when we add students to the mix?

Organizer creates event

• Fills out create event form
• Specifies which curriculum is being taught out of current RailsBridge curriculum options
• Eventually we'd like to have some mechanism for organizers to customize this part
• Publishes event
• Answers student questions that come in by email

Organizer breaks students and teachers into small groups

• Bridge Troll has a class breakdown page that gives organizer:
• Total numbers of students in each class level
• Total numbers of teachers and TAs by assignment (rather than preference)
• A table of student names by class level.
• Organizer further divides class levels with large numbers of students into individual sections.

Organizer communicates student and teacher small groups to everybody

• Somehow

Questions

• Can organizers change or add:
• change class levels on existing curricula
• edit descriptions of class levels
• add their own curriculum
• How will the software help organizers break large groups of class levels into individual small groups? If there are 16 Advanced Beginners, how will they divide those students?

Students are presented with descriptions of the rough experience level of various class levels and asked to put themselves into the right class.

Other Thoughts

• Limiting to the curricula we currently teach simplifies the app a ton.
• It makes sense to experiment with organizer input later, once we've got the standard organizing procedures worked out.

Normal Configurations:

• Regular RailsBridge - intro & intermediate curricula
• Ruby only
• Front End

Other Recent Configurations:

• Intermediate Rails only
