Karuta

Karuta-frontend is the end user interface of Karuta.

Karuta is a very flexible environment to design, test and deploy simple and sophisticated learning and evaluation portfolios. Karuta exploits and enriches the hierarchical structure of web pages with a comprehensive set of specialized resources and semantic tags. The objects (trees, nodes, leafs), which are manipulated through a rich-client approach based on jQuery javascript library, are displayed with CSS from the Twitter Bootstrap library and saved with a comprehensive set of REST APIs implemented in Java and MySQL/MariaDB. With Karuta, a designer can quickly construct very sophisticated workflows where different users (students, instructors, etc.) are assigned to a wide range of actions (reflect, upload files, comment, evaluate, grade with rubrics, etc.) without the help of a developer. Karuta integrates the Responsive Design approach and can thus be displayed on various mobile devices. Karuta has built-in import and export functionalities.
