Gymnasium Patches

in openedx-dockerfile-post-python-requirements

RUN pip install -e git+https://github.com/gymnasium/gym-overrides.git@release/redwood#egg=gym_overrides

We are injecting patches to:

• Track custom registration form in Segment
• Make honor and audit passing grades eligible for certificates
• Make audit mode eligible for certificates
• Replace Open edX default certificate awarding with Accredible

In the following section we will go over necessary configuration to make the above patches work.

Segment Configuration

In order for the Segment configuration to work, we need to make sure that the LMS_SEGMENT_KEY is set in openedx-lms-common-settings and CMS_SEGMENT_KEY is set in openedx-cms-common-settings. Take a note of EVENT_TRACKING_SEGMENTIO_EMIT_WHITELIST values in the lms-env to check which events are being tracked in Segment.

We customized registration tracking to track the market field in the custom registration form. After successful registration, the market field is sent to Segment like the following:

analytics.identify('6', {
    'email': '[email protected]',
    'username': 'amirtadrisi',
    'name': 'Amir Tadrisi',
    'age': -1,
    'yearOfBirth': 2024,
    'education': null,
    'address': '',
    'gender': null,
    'country': '',
    'is_marketable': false,
    'extrainfo': {
        'market': '36'
    }
})

Accredible Configuration

In order for the Accredible configuration to work, we need to make sure that the ACCREDIBLE_API_KEY is set in lms-env. This integration replaces the default certificate generation with Accredible. The workflow is the following:

1. By achieving a passing grade (all course modes) we send a generate_certificate signal
2. The task makes call to the Accredible API to generate the certificate with the grade, course and the user data.
3. a new GeneratedCertificate object is created using the API response data.

To have the certificate generation working, we need to enable certificate generation configuration at /admin/certificates/certificategenerationconfiguration and also activate certificates.auto_certificate_generation waffle switch at /admin/waffle/switch/

How to Install this plugin

pip install -e tutor-contrib-gym-customizations
tutor plugins enable gym-customizations
tutor config save && tutor images build openedx|openedx-dev && tutor dev|local launch

Note: This plugin requires a .env file in your tutor root populated with (at least) the following values:

ACCREDIBLE_API_KEY=example-accredible-api-key
SEGMENT_API_KEY=example-segment-api-key
GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_4_ID=example-google-analytics-4-id

Important caveat: if these key values ever need to be changed/replaced, make sure you update them in both the config.yml and .env files before running tutor config save. Once they are set in the config file, it appears tutor bypasses the env files.
