Student generated hash (upon completion of lab)

rmayhew53

I am interested in utilizing this resource: https://openintro.shinyapps.io/ims-01-data-01/

The final step asks students to enter a name, a student ID, then click "Generate" to generate a unique hash to demonstrate they have completed this first tutorial.
Presumably, students then send these hashes to me? If so, I'm not sure what to do with them. Is there a way to translate the hash into some sort of completion text? I do not have background on this.

Thanks for reaching out! This is a newly implemented feature and there is a way to decode the hash into something meaningful and useful!

You can use the learnrhash package to decode the hash. The decoded info will include the student name, id and solutions they submitted to the exercises.

Shoot me an email (nick@openintro.org) and I can send you details on how to decode the hash.
