Configurable Assessment

[cmcavoy]

The BadgeKit interface will include several features that should be configurable via API calls from the Issuer.

POST'd pieces for assessment should allow the issuer to control the display of the assessment form to the mentor. ie, the issuer should be able to include something like,

{ 'response-type' : 'free-form' }

or

{
'response-type' : 'pre-selected',
'response-options' : ['great job', 'you did awesome', 'keep trying']
}

note: the above is a trivial example...the actual API should be ~ 30% more robust

This gives the issuers control over how the interface is used. Instead of being explicit about the age of the users, we allow the issuer to determine the level of interaction they want between assessor / mentors and the learners through configuration on every call. /cc @xmatthewx @threeqube @iamjessklein as they were in on the conversation that spawned this ticket.

This is great. It allows Issuers to have badge-level control on boilerplate feedback. Or they can choose to simplify with a standard set of fields/questions to guide mentors on assessment of all badges.

By attaching this feature to the application on the issuer site, we keep badgekit settings simple AND allow the issuer to trigger different types of assessment depending on who applies (e.g. over/under 13). They could do this without even disclosing anything to badgekit.
