Recapp is a collaborative quiz tool designed for university teaching. It is built around a learning-through-teaching approach: instead of the teacher writing all the questions, students write the quiz questions themselves — and then answer each other's questions when the teacher starts the quiz session.
This makes Recapp fundamentally different from conventional quiz tools: students are both authors and participants, which requires a deeper engagement with the material than simply answering pre-made questions.
For teachers: create a quiz, let students populate it with questions, approve them, start the session, and monitor live statistics.
For students: write questions during the editing phase, then answer your fellow students' questions during the quiz run. You can also comment on and upvote questions.
Participation works either via university OpenID Connect accounts or anonymously via browser fingerprint — no registration required for guests.
Run npm installund init your repo with lerna bootstrap. Note that this repo uses npm workspaces, so make sure to always add packages with -w MODULE to the individual projects.
Also make sure to create a .env.development (or .env.production) file from the .env.template in the repo.
Make sure to edit the .env file in the frontend project to the proper URIs.
There is simple generator for new data schemas/models if needed. It can be called via npx pinion generators/model.template.ts.
