As online learning has become increasingly more common, a significant amount of interest in educational research has grown at WPI and throughout other universities. With the rise of COVID-19, educational platforms have become more prominent than ever racking up a massive amount of data points within their ecosystems. One university-based platform for online learning, ASSISTments, is unique for its built-in capacity for research. One prominent problem within the ecosystem is related to its data distribution technique. In this IQP report, I am going to outline the issues of data distribution inherent to ASSSITments’ research features, and its high reliance on human intervention by the ASSISTment’s research team. On top of these issues, I will also discuss the web application that I built, which integrates the Center for Open Science (COS) Open Science Framework (OSF), supporting the research workflow and transparency of academic research. I will also be discussing future work and integration with the E-Trials research testbed.
