Learnosity Tech Test - Submission

This repository contains code I modified for the Learnosity Business Development Engineer Tech Test ("Learnosity Tech Test" for short).

Background

Learnosity provides interactive assessment solutions for organsisations by offering an extensive set of APIs that clients can utilise to create complex, feature rich tests for their users. These features include the ability to design tests with questions that use interactions such as drag and drop, graph plotting and handwriting recognition.

The Learnosity Tech Test

The Learnosity Tech Test involved completing one of the following challenges:

1. Create a Custom Question Type Using Guided Instructions
2. Create an Original Demo Using Learnosity APIs

To quickly familiarise myself with the technology behind Learnosity I chose option 1.

Important Notes:

• The example custom question types under the /examples directory did not work on my local machine. This was due to a javascript error in the api.js file that also prevented my custom question type from rendering.
• To overcome this, I created a local copy of the api.js file and the question.learnosity.com file (which includes the api.js file) and modified the lines of code that was creating the issue. These two files are in /src/static/custom and can be inspected by searching for the text FIX-20160702
