This Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) focuses on implementing scaffolding within the newest version of ASSISTments. ASSISTments is an online learning platform where students receive immediate support and feedback on their assignments, and in return, teachers gain insight on how to best meet the needs of their students. One feature that enables this is scaffolding, a student support that divides a problem into a set of smaller problems, which together provide a step-by-step process for solving the original problem. In this IQP, we interacted with the ASSISTments database to implement scaffolds in the backend, send requests to the frontend, and create a view for users to create, update, and delete scaffolds through a user interface.
