Discord Course Discussion Tracker Bot

A Discord bot that will ease the burden of keeping track of who is participating in discussion posts.

Language: Python
Framework: discord.py

Intended Functionality

  • Track students' posts in discussion post threads

  • Give word count of messages

  • Time of messages vs time of thread creation (diff -- how late was it?)

  • Each thread should have at least 2 posts (answer/reply)

  • Message can additionally be saved for visual verification

  • Output where?

    • Google spreadsheet (via Sheety API)
    • HTML output
    • Actual database?

Pain Points

  • Identifying which thread belongs to which course/unit/discussion question #

    • Maybe add a Discord command: 
      !dp admin 1 1
      Admin course discussion post, unit 1, discussion post 1.

  • Creating database schema/format of data.

Local Testing

Set up a Python virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv

This generates the virtual environment files.

Then, activate the virtual environment by sourcing the activate shell script that was generated.

. venv/bin/activate

The venv is now active, and you can install project-specific dependencies.

pip install -U discord.py
