Jupyter Notebook Support Epic

Students who use OnTrack currently are limited in the way they can upload their Jupyter notebook files to OnTrack. Students must download their notebook as a HTML through Jupyter notebook and use an online PDF converter to convert the HTML file to PDF, so their work can be submitted to OnTrack.

To minimise students needing to use outside sources to be able to upload their work, students must be able to download their work from a Jupyter notebook, which is saved as a file with ‘.ipynb’ file, and upload to OnTrack, where it will be converted to a PDF for submission. This will make it much more efficient for students to upload their work, which will save time for tutors having to explain the process of having to outsource to a PDF conversion website. This will increase trust in our product and improve user experience.

Review of existing work to find what is usable and then plan out what work is still to be done.
- Allow for ipynb files to be accepted for Ontrack
- Convert ipynb files to PDF via LaTeX
- Test files are converted from ipynb to PDF

Team members may need training/upskilling in technologies such as Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Docker and GitHub.
User guide documentation will need to be release simultaneously with the new feature, so users know how to use this new feature.

Team members will need to understand existing code contributions and understand what is usable to integrate their Jupyter notebook support project work. Team members may also need to learn new technologies used in the integration of Jupyter notebook support
