How This System Works
Architecture
Event-driven system leveraging GitHub webhooks for real-time student activity monitoring, with scheduled career tracking and intelligent routing of human attention to highest-value activities.
Data Flow
Student code activity flows from GitHub through intelligent analysis to Airtable records, triggering appropriate notifications in Slack. Career tracking runs weekly cycles to maintain consistent alumni support.
Implementation Phases
Establish automated student monitoring and progress tracking
Implement automated code review and feedback system
Deploy alumni tracking and automated follow-up system
Prerequisites
- -GitHub organization with proper webhook permissions
- -Airtable bases structured for student and alumni tracking
- -Slack workspace with bot permissions
Assumptions
- -Students use GitHub consistently for assignments
- -Airtable becomes single source of truth for student records
- -Instructors adopt Slack-based notification workflow
