WIP: get data with superset API to the LMS #2
Conversation
|
This is exciting work, thanks for taking it on. I think we would not want to have the LMS making synchronous calls to superset on the backend if we can avoid it. How did the iframe work out for you? |
|
The iframe was used with three different users: superuser, instructor and student. The iframe filtered the information based on the given user permissions. I only find 1 problem, the user needs to authenticate in superset before loading the LMS, because I was unable to login using the iframe (probably due to TPA) |

@Ian2012 CC @bmtcril I haven't dug into this possibility, but if we have charts available for everything we want to show in the LMS, then can't simply embed iframes that reference those chart (aka slice) IDs?
E.g. http://superset.local.overhang.io/superset/explore/?form_data={"slice_id":6}&standalone=1 shows the "Events per day" chart in its own window. If you're not logged into Superset then you have to login, but the SSO redirects will get you back there.
cf https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset/explore/commands/get.py
(For dashboards, there's a few different standalone querystring options, but on/off seems to be the most you get with charts.)

I didn't have time to test your idea, but it seems like a feasible solution.
For the instructor dashboard integration, @mariajgrimaldi is working on an openedx filter to allow that integration:
here is an screenshot of an on-task integration via iframe:

We could have a series of instructor-related reports and charts
|
I think we will need to have both a block-level integration that pulls one or more charts in that are specific to the block-type and the individual block (problem difficulty, % of enrolled users who answered the question..., or % of enrolled users who have watched a video / completed the video / the video timeline etc). And also one that can hook into the instructor dash that would allow course-level reports (enrolled students over time, % of students passing, list of students who are behind, etc). |

All the implementations could leave in a single plugin We could manage aspects dependencies in that repository to avoid this pattern https://github.com/openedx/tutor-contrib-aspects/blob/main/tutoraspects/plugin.py#L47-L52 which overrides dependencies and developers wouldn't need to override that setting |

Closed in favor of the new plugin: https://github.com/eduNEXT/platform-plugin-superset |
Description
This PR adds a demo on how to load data from the superset API with the superset API client.
The XBlock created adds a hardcoded iframe to the LMS
The XBlock aside performs multiple API calls to get data back from superset and renders it for every xblock. This opens the custom for specific reports based on the current XBlock
