Hello, is this the channel about EduTools? I’ve got some questions about it

[Ksenia Shneyveys]

Hello, you can ask your question here. We’ll either have the answer, or we’ll bring in our colleagues from EduTools.

Thank you @Ksenia Shneyveys! I would like to use EduTools by building a course and making a workshop in our meetup group (KotlinTLV) with a contest and all. The question is, can I send the data in real time to a dashboard of my choosing (that I plan to build), to make it competitive during the workshop?

And I’d like to apply that as well at work, for teaching my colleagues and making it fun by being competitive and personal as the data will be hosted internally to the company!

@Ksenia Shneyveys I guess I would have to fork the IntelliJ Plugin and implement all that myself right?

[Ksenia Shneyveys]

Hi, Alex, I’m sorry for the late reply. I’ll talk to my colleagues from EduTools now

[Ksenia Shneyveys]

@galex, you are correct, there is no such functionality in the plugin now, but the source code is open, so you can fork from here: https://github.com/JetBrains/educational-plugin

Thank you @Ksenia Shneyveys !

@galex so cool! What a good motivation tool! Do you plan on open-sourcing it, or releasing the plugin/platform?

[galex]

@Sam Stone Glad you like the idea! For now I haven't done anything with it, we could start something together if you'd like to :))

[Sam Stone]

That would be awesome, but I only joined this channel because I am seriously looking into a teaching position within the next few years (not immediately), as well as teaching people on the side, so it isn't relevant yet. Maybe once I have decided on teaching and have a job we could start something. I think it would be very cool to collaborate on something like this. Have you looked for existing options?

Not yet tbh
