TrainingServer

= Training Server Project = This project is a complementary project to One Laptop Per Child Australia and Sugar Labs Training Activity. This projects aims to help us understand how users progress during their training, using the Training Activity.

How It Works
Each time a user finishes a new training section, a report is sent automatically, by the Training Activity to the Training Server. In this way we obtain valuable feedback on users progression and also tasks statistics. Once the server receives reports from a new user, it will send a welcome email with a confirmation link. This helps us to validate users authenticity.

Concepts



 * Trainees refers to the users of the Training Activity.
 * Tasks refers to each of the individual actions user must complete in each training section.
 * Confirmations refers to the email confirmation data, that reflects the confirmation status.

How It Is Useful

 * Provides a automated feedback mechanism that allows us to see user's progress.
 * Provides task related data that can allow us to do more insight in to training process and even Sugar usage.

Training Activity Settings
To send reports to your server some values must be changed in user's machines.

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/sugar/services/training/url "https://your.server.com:443/training/report" --type=string gconftool-2 --set /desktop/sugar/services/training/api_key "your-servers-api-key" --type=string
