Working with Ms. Mahoney to make a peer tutoring managament system for ARISTA

• Allow for tutees to sign up for an account if they need help
• Allow for tutors to sign up for an account if they need to earn credits
• Ensure all accounts are from the same school based on initial school information inputted (email domain, school name, etc.)
• Pair tutors and tutees RANDOMLY based on availability, classes, and teachers (in order to ensure there are no biased pairs and that the sessions are as helpful as possible)
• Allow for tutors to check their credits for previous, current, and future crediting periods
• Allow for administrators to edit the list of tutors, list of committee members (optional), credit requirements, and crediting periods
• Allow for administrators to oversee unpaired tutee/tutor accounts, paired tutors/tutees, completed sessions, sessions with discrepancies, and user credits

• Put limit of amount of tutees a tutor can handle (3)
• Automatic unpairing when tutees/tutors flake after a certain amount of times
• Automatic emailing of tutees after a certain amount of time if they're still unapired
• FAQ about peer tutoring, guidance counselor information, etc.
• Automatically not credit a session if it's submitted more than a week, two weeks after the session
• Check location of session
• Facial recognition of selfie after completing session (each account would require a photo)
• Get rid of grade-checking system for tutors
• Tutee has to rank sessions (1-5) in order to ensure tutors are of high quality (only show this to school staff)
• Leadership board for tutors with best ranking, most sessions, most committed, etc.
• Incentives for tutoring in more-requested classes (geometry, biology, physics)
• Internal notification system, phone contact information, display preferred method of communication

• Setting up a school
  

  First account made would establish the precedent for the rest of the accounts/functionality

  • Type of email for Google authentication
  • Name of school
  • Initial list of approved tutors and their emails
  • Initial credit requirements, number of crediting periods (ARISTA uses trimesters, but other schools may not), etc.
  • OPTIONAL: List of committee members and their emails, because they may have different credit requirements from general tutors
• Connect to Naviance or other grading system
  

  This could be used to:

  • Verify tutor grades to ensure that they are able to tutor in certain subjects
  • Verify tutor's teachers that they had for certain classes to ensure that they can be effectively paired up with a tutee in that teacher's class
  • Check tutee grades to automatically notify them if they need help in a class and automatically update their settings to request a tutor in that subject -- UPDATE: NOT VIABLE
• Connect to school mailing list
  

  This could be used to sign every student up automatically for an account, if they ever need help in a class

• Google authentication to ensure every user signs in with their stuy.edu emails
• User inputs their personal/account information, including:
  • Name
  • Password
  • Additional email (optional)
  • Free periods/times
  • Classes (that they need help in, can tutor in)
  • ONLY IF A TUTOR: Grades in the classes that they wish to tutor in
  • Teachers for the classes they inputted
• Every user is automatically programmed to be a tutee, because everyone needs help at some point!
• A user account will only have tutor functionality if their email can be found on the inputted list of tutors
• Account dashboard will allow for a smooth transition between tutee and tutor account functions (most likely done through a button/checkbox and D3 transitions)

• Update account information
• Update availability to tutor/be tutored
• Update classes
• Update teachers
• Update grades (unless that can be pulled from Naviance--perhaps there can be a way to automatically sign everyone in a school up for an account, and then prompt them to get tutored for a class if their grade goes below a certain point [this would require automatic retrieval of data])

• Select a tutor (RANDOMLY, based on availability and classes)
• Submit form at the complete of a session
• Submit a form if there is a discrepancy between the information for a submitted session (time, date, etc.)

• Select a tutee (RANDOMLY, based on availability and classes)
• Submit form at the complete of a session
• Submit a form if there is a discrepancy between the information for a submitted session (time, date, etc.)
• OPTIONAL: Notify tutee's teacher that sessions are occuring and update the teacher on their progress

• Add/remove members to/from the list of approved tutors
• Add/remove members to/from the committees
• Update the name/number of committees
• Update the credit requirements (specific to each committee) and number of crediting periods
• Check list of completed sessions (coloring of sessions could indicate if there is a discrepancy, etc.)
• Check list of unpaired tutees/tutors and manually pair up people (not recommended, but a necessary function)
• Send emails/notifications (to specific people, only tutors, only tutees)

• Be able to check which students have signed up for tutee accounts
• See a list of paired and unpaired students
• See a log of completed sessions

• Select tutor, tutee, administrator/school account, or to create a new account
• Sign up/create account using Google
