Project 1 - OnTrack

Overview, Goals, and Objectives

OnTrack, also known as Doubtfire, is an innovative Learning Management System (LMS) designed specifically for skill-based course delivery. This platform enhances the connection between tutors and students, with a primary focus on Deakin University and other global educational institutions. OnTrack aims to elevate the educational experience by offering a structured, efficient, and interactive learning environment. The system is crafted to improve student engagement, boost learning outcomes, and streamline the teaching and learning process, benefiting both students and educators.

The OnTrack team is dedicated to continuously improving the platform by working on all planned deliverables each trimester. While the team strives to complete all objectives, any remaining deliverables are carried forward, encouraging the next generation of leaders to take ownership and drive the project forward. This approach ensures the long-term sustainability and evolution of OnTrack, fostering a culture of responsibility, innovation, and continuous enhancement for the benefit of future users.

Additionally, our team aims to maintain the quality of our work and improve the usability of OnTrack. This includes fixing bugs, improving workflows, and making the platform more accessible for all users. For example, we worked on adding color themes to support students with color blindness, reducing barriers for those users. We also prioritize documentation and transparency. By keeping clear records of what’s done, what’s in progress, and what’s next, we make sure new teams can pick up where we left off without guessing. We understand that documentation saves time, prevents repeated mistakes, and helps the project grow faster.

Other key goals include:

Responding to feedback – We have a strict peer review process that allows us to learn from each other.
Promoting sustainability – By writing clean, maintainable code and clear handover notes, we keep OnTrack stable and ready for future development.

Our objective is simple: leave OnTrack better than we found it and make the next team’s start easier.

Roadmap

This roadmap outlines the strategic priorities for the next trimester, building on the progress made in T2 2025. Key areas of focus include completing the frontend migration, implementing new features, and addressing critical security evaluations.

1. Continued Frontend Migration to Angular 17

The migration from AngularJS and CoffeeScript remains a top priority. While significant progress was made in T2, the work is ongoing.

Priority: Complete the full migration of all legacy components to Angular 17 and TypeScript.
Action: Focus on migrating parent components whose child components have already been updated.
Goal: Achieve improved UI consistency, accessibility, and performance across the entire platform.

2. Security Enhancements and Penetration Testing

Key vulnerabilities were patched in T2, but the formal penetration testing was delayed.

Priority: Conduct the rescheduled penetration test to thoroughly evaluate all security measures.
Action: Address any new findings from the test promptly and continue to integrate security testing into the CI/CD pipeline.
Goal: Continue formalizing prototypes for SSO (Single Sign-On) and mTLS integration for future scalability.

3. Full Implementation of Tutor Activity Tracking

The backend schema and frontend UI for this feature are in place, but they need to be fully integrated and activated.

Priority: Connect the frontend dashboard to live backend data instead of the current dummy data.
Action: Implement the Session Tracker Service to manage marking sessions and integrate it across all related entities (User, Unit, Project, Task).
Goal: Deploy backend endpoints to retrieve Marking Sessions and Session Activities for analytics and reporting.

4. Deploying Accessibility and Color Blindness Features

The foundational research and design for accessibility were completed in T2. The next step is full implementation and deployment.

Priority: Deploy the configurable color themes, including presets for various types of color vision deficiencies like deuteranopia and protanopia.
Action: Integrate the theme selector into user profile settings and conduct user testing to validate the effectiveness of the new themes.
Attachments:
Accessibility Research

5. Expanding OnTrack Documentation

Efforts to centralize documentation should continue to support new team members.

Priority: Create the “Getting Started” onboarding guide series that was planned in previous trimesters.
Action: Finalize API reference pages for all new and refactored endpoints to ensure the documentation is comprehensive and current.

6. Long-Term Feature Development (Backlog)

These items from previous roadmaps or new T2 proposals are still in the backlog for future development.

Panopto Video Integration: This feature, including phase 2 explorations, is fully scoped but remains in the backlog for a future implementation.
Performance Benchmarking: Expand on the new initiative to use Google Lighthouse to systematically test and improve platform speed and accessibility.
Gamification: Explore the feasibility of development of the gamification strategy proposed in T2 to boost user engagement through interactive UI elements.

Open Issues

This section flags persistent issues that may interfere with the future team’s ability to work and provides advice on how these could be addressed. Despite steady progress on deliverables, several challenges remain that could impact the continuity and learning outcomes for the next cohort.

Skills Gap & Onboarding Challenges

Many students join OnTrack to learn, but the steep learning curve for technologies like Angular, TypeScript, and legacy CoffeeScript can be a significant barrier.

Without structured technical onboarding, new members often spend the first 3–4 weeks trying to understand the system, which delays their ability to contribute effectively.
There is often an implicit expectation that students are already proficient with the tech stack (including Git, Docker, and Angular), which is not always the case and can lead to frustration.

Development Environment & Compatibility Issues

Setting up the local development environment remains a significant hurdle, especially for students using Windows machines.

Docker image sizes are large, and performance differences compared to Mac or Linux systems can create an uneven development experience.
Compatibility differences between the 8.0.x and 9.x branches can lead to frequent and confusing build issues.
These issues had a direct impact this trimester, as the penetration testing scheduled for mid-August was delayed partly due to “various build errors.”

Fragmented Review and Contribution Workflow

The process for reviewing Planner board tasks and GitHub pull requests can lack consistency.

Without clear ownership and review pathways, some completed work can sit idle in pull requests for long periods, waiting for approvals. This can slow down overall project momentum.

Recommendations for Future Teams

To mitigate these issues, the next team should consider the following:

Introduce a structured onboarding program that covers environment setup, Git workflows, and an introduction to the core tech stack.
Create and maintain a beginner-friendly setup guide, especially for Windows environments.
Communicate early and often with mentors or sub-leads to get help and unblock technical issues quickly.
Leverage the resources in the User Manual section, which contains setup videos and contribution guides.

Lessons Learned

Throughout the trimester, the OnTrack team gained valuable insights into collaboration, workflow management, and technical readiness. The following lessons are shared to help future teams adopt practices that support sustained progress and learning.

The Importance of Mentorship

Mentors play a pivotal role in clarifying complex tasks and keeping the team aligned with project goals. Low attendance in mentor meetings can create knowledge gaps, leading to missed updates and slower progress.

Key Takeaway: Prioritize regular engagement with mentors to stay informed and unblock technical or process-related issues early.

Effective Task Management

Consistent use of the Planner board is essential for transparency and progress tracking.

When tasks are left un-updated, it can cause confusion around team progress and individual responsibilities.
Key Takeaway: Familiarity with Planner, clear card ownership, and regular status updates are crucial for maintaining momentum in collaborative work.

Technical Readiness and Continuous Learning

A significant number of contributors can struggle with tasks due to limited experience with GitHub and the core tech stack. This can impact review cycles and slow down delivery.

Key Takeaway: Capstone projects require continuous upskilling. Proactively allocate time for learning core technologies like Git, Angular, and TypeScript, especially when entering unfamiliar domains. It is highly recommended that new members undergo early training.

Time Management and Self-Discipline

Delayed deliverables are often linked to weak time management. Without consistent planning and progress tracking, it’s difficult to meet sprint goals.

Key Takeaway: Adopt strategies like weekly planning, setting personal deadlines, and using reminders to stay on track and contribute reliably.

Final Advice

New team members may assume deep technical knowledge is required before contributing. However, what truly matters is consistency, communication, and a willingness to learn. Investing time early to understand the workflow, connect with mentors, and get comfortable with the tools will lead to strong contributions.

Product Development Life Cycle

We continue to use Agile methodologies to deliver updates and new features for OnTrack. Our approach includes 2-week sprints focused on completing tasks, and weekly stand-up meetings to assess progress, share updates, discuss roadblocks, and assign new tasks via Teams Planner cards.

New Tasks

New tasks can be assigned by the project mentor during weekly stand-up meetings or self-selected by team members.
Once you select a task, be sure to assign yourself to the corresponding Teams Planner card and attach your draft or completed pull request when you begin work.
If you have an idea for a new feature, schedule a meeting with the project mentor to discuss it. Upon approval, a new card can be created in the Planner backlog.
For large features, it is recommended to first create a Spike document to research the benefits and challenges, which can be committed to the documentation repository.

Definition of Done

A task is considered complete once it has been fully tested, functions as expected, is documented in a well-organized pull request, has been peer-reviewed, and is approved by your mentor. The corresponding Teams Planner card must be updated, and communication with your reviewer and mentor should continue until your contribution is merged.

Task Review

Each pull request requires a mandatory peer review before a mentor can review it.
After creating a pull request, contact a teammate to review it and tag them as the reviewer in both the Planner card and on GitHub.
As a reviewer, you must test the code by pulling the changes locally and reviewing the syntax, logic, and output.
After the peer review is complete, notify the mentor for their final review and approval before the pull request is submitted to the upstream repository.

Testing

For frontend changes, test the functionality in the browser and run specification tests as needed.
For backend changes, use browser interactions or tools like Postman to test API functionality.
In the pull request, include detailed instructions on how others can test your changes, and always provide before-and-after screenshots to show the outcome.

Branching Strategy

When starting new work, fork all three thoth-tech repositories (deploy, web, and api) to your personal GitHub profile.
Create a new branch from the 9.x branch of the relevant repository.
Follow the Branch Prefixes and Commit Message Format in the official Contributing Guide when naming branches and creating commits.

Product Architecture

OnTrack is developed as a collaborative open-source project built on top of the Doubtfire-LMS ecosystem. It comprises four key components:

Doubtfire-Web: The frontend application responsible for user interface and interactions, built using Angular.
Doubtfire-API: The backend service that handles business logic and communicates with the database, built using Ruby on Rails.
Database: A structured relational database (e.g., MariaDB) that stores all persistent application data.
Doubtfire-Deploy: Infrastructure scripts and configuration used to deploy OnTrack in a stable and maintainable environment, primarily using Docker and associated CI/CD tools.

OnTrack is maintained and enhanced by ThothTech, a student-led capstone development team at Deakin University. The project is forked from the official Doubtfire-LMS repository, which is managed by Company Directors and Mentors. The LMS environment represents the production-grade implementation, while ThothTech serves as the innovation space where new features and improvements are developed before potential upstream contribution.

Tech Stack

Frontend: Currently being migrated from AngularJS and CoffeeScript to Angular 17 and TypeScript. The stack also includes HTML, SCSS, and Tailwind CSS.
Backend: Built on Ruby on Rails with the Grape Framework. It uses MariaDB as the database engine, and Docker is used for deployment and local development.

Source Code

The following are the relevant GitHub repositories for this project:

Deployment: thoth-tech/doubtfire-deploy
Frontend: thoth-tech/doubtfire-web
Backend: thoth-tech/doubtfire-api

Roadmap

SplashKit Expansion

Unit Testing Expansion: Add more unit tests for functions that do not have them yet
Add SplashKit to Nuget Packages: Add the required SplashKit libraries to the existing NuGet package with a proper icon, description, and documentation of the packaging process.
Port SplashKit to Rust: Port the SplashKit framework to Rust, expanding its accessibility and allowing developers using Rust to take advantage of SplashKit’s features and capabilities.
Investigate Pascal Memory Issues: Investigate and fix the issues with Pascal programs memory leaks after compilation with FPC.
Invetsigate Unit Testing with Graphics Library: Investigate different strategies to allow for unit testing specifically with graphics functionality
Update Raspberry Pi Code: Revise and fix issues with Raspberry Pi code ensuring things are fixed and the RPi suite is expanded
Continue Fixing Suffix Issues: The fix to the repeated suffixes issue found in some of the SplashKit functions

SplashKit Website

UI Enhancements: Continue improving the user interface based on redesign PRs, leveraging Tailwind CSS, Preline, and existing component libraries for consistency and maintainability.
Usage Examples: Expand coverage of usage examples for the most commonly used SplashKit functions.
Tutorial Development: Create additional tutorials for the SplashKit website and improve the clarity and structure of existing tutorials to better support new learners.
Netlify Build Process Improvement: Update the deployment configuration so that builds are only triggered when necessary, reducing unnecessary build minutes and improving deployment efficiency.

SplashKit Online

Pipeline Upgrades: One of the initivates started this trimester was the reworking of the file structure to support C# and the new file strcure. Work should be continued to optimise this and add support for a code checker.
Code Checker: One of the initivates discussed with Hard Hat was a code checker to check code prior to deployment of games to SK online or to the arcade machine. This should be pursued so that students in future can more easily deploy games to the site.
Improve C++ Support: C++ has seen improvements this trimester, though more work needs to be done to find minor issues that are present such as missing header guards ect. Also consider updating the version of SplashKit used.
Imporove C# Support: While C# support has improved this trimester, more work needs to be done to implement classes such as Window that will allow for rendering of graphics.
Game Upload: Work should start on adding a easier way for students to add games to the project without having to rebuild the site.

SplashKit Arcade

Refine SK Arcade Experience: Focus on the maintenance of the arcade machines, ensuring that the games on them increase, function correctly, and are free of bugs.
