  • Location: backend/src/modules/emotions/

Structure:

emotions/
├── types.ts                           # Type definitions
├── schemas/EmotionSchema.ts          # MongoDB model
├── repositories/EmotionRepository.ts # Data access
├── services/EmotionService.ts        # Business logic
├── controllers/EmotionController.ts  # API endpoints
├── container.ts                      # Dependency injection
├── routes/EmotionRoutes.ts          # API routes
└── index.ts                          # Module exports

2. API Endpoints

Method Endpoint Purpose Auth
POST /emotions/submit Submit emotion for item ✅ Required
GET /emotions/stats/:itemId Get item emotion stats ❌ Public
GET /emotions/history/:courseId/:versionId Get student emotion history ✅ Required
GET /emotions/report/:courseId/:versionId Get course emotion report ❌ Public

3. MongoDB Model

Emotion Collection:
├── studentId: ObjectId → User
├── courseId: ObjectId
├── courseVersionId: ObjectId
├── itemId: ObjectId
├── emotion: String (enum)
├── timestamp: Date
├── cohortId: ObjectId (optional)
├── createdAt: Date
└── updatedAt: Date

Indexes: studentId+courseId, itemId, courseVersionId, createdAt (optimized queries)

Hooks & Data Fetching

use-emotion.ts Updated

  • ✅ useSubmitEmotion() - Submit emotion (mutation)
  • ✅ useEmotionStats(itemId) - Get item stats (query)
  • ✅ useEmotionHistory(courseId, versionId) - Get student history (query)
  • ✅ useCourseEmotionReport(courseId, versionId) - Get course report (query)

student/course-page.tsx Updated

  • ✅ Emotion selector bar added below title
  • ✅ handleEmotionSubmit() function implemented
  • ✅ State tracking for selected emotions
  • ✅ Toast notifications for user feedback

Types & Interfaces

emotion.types.ts Created

type EmotionType = "very_sad" | "sad" | "neutral" | "happy" | "very_happy"

interface EmotionSubmission {
  studentId: string
  courseId: string
  courseVersionId: string
  itemId: string
  emotion: EmotionType
  timestamp: Date
  cohortId?: string
}

interface EmotionStats {
  itemId: string
  emotion: EmotionType
  count: number
  percentage: number
}

📊 CURRENT STATUS

    • Frontend-backend contracts established

⏳ Ready But Not Yet Integrated

  1. Item-Level Analytics

    • Component created: ItemEmotionStats.tsx
    • Needs to be added to teacher-course-page item list
    • Integration point: item table/list rendering

  2. Student-Level Analytics

    • Component created: StudentEmotionJourney.tsx
    • Needs to be added to student detail view (3 options available)
    • Can go in: modal, row expansion, or separate page

🔧 YOU ARE HERE: INTEGRATION PHASE

Next Integration Steps

Step 1: Item-Level Analytics (5 minutes)

// In teacher-course-page.tsx
import { ItemEmotionStats } from "./components/ItemEmotionStats";

// Add to item list rendering:
<ItemEmotionStats itemId={item._id} itemName={item.name} />

Step 2: Student-Level Analytics (10 minutes) Choose one option:

  • Option A: Add to student progress modal
  • Option B: Add to student row expansion
  • Option C: Create separate student insights page

See EMOTION_ANALYTICS_INTEGRATION.md for detailed code examples.

Step 3: Testing

  • View course enrollments page → should see emotion dashboard
  • Go to any course item → select emotions
  • View teacher course page → should see item emotion stats
  • View student detail → should see emotion journey

Step 4: Navigation (Optional)

  • Add links between pages
  • Create instructor alerts for struggling students
