Teacher opt-in to share email information with regional partners

[TurnerRiley]

Give teachers the ability to opt-in to sharing their emails with Code.org regional partners. Code.org’s regional partners offer local professional development workshops and community events for teachers. If they share their contact information with the partner in their state, the regional partner can notify the opted-in teachers of these opportunities and resources.

This choice (in the form of a radio button) will appear in the sign-up page for teachers in the United States and will be an optional choice (essentially defaulting to 'No'). This PR does not do the actual sharing of emails, it simply stores whether a given teacher has opted in to this program in their User.properties under the variable name share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in.

The value of share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in in User.properties based on the scenario (where N/A signifies that in this scenario the given choice would not be available to the user):

User type	In the U.S.?	Opted in?	share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in
Teacher	Yes	Yes	DateTime.now to mark when they opted in
Teacher	Yes	No	nil
Teacher	Yes	no selection	nil
Teacher	No	N/A	nil
Student	N/A	N/A	nil

Old vs. new appearance

Original view teachers in the U.S. saw

New view teachers in the U.S. will now see (every other scenario (e.g. a teacher in another country) will look the exact same as the original)

Here is the spec.

Testing story

• Added unit tests in /dashboard/test/controllers/registrations_controller_test.rb. The names of each scenario's respective unit test is listed in the 2nd-to-last column of the table below.
• Local and adhoc manual testing in multiple browsers (namely Chrome, Edge, and IE11) to ensure each of the scenarios produces the correct output as outlined in the table. Each test video (found in the last column of the table below) ends with showing what is stored in User.properties where each row represents a user such that the last row of User.properties is the set of properties from the most-recently-created user.

User type	In the U.S.?	Opted in?	Value of share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in in User.properties	Name of unit test in registrations_controller_test.rb	Link to video of manual test
Teacher	Yes	Yes	DateTime.now to mark when they opted in	create new teacher with us ip with opt-in to sharing email with regional partners set share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in value to DateTime value	Manual test #1
Teacher	Yes	No	nil	create new teacher with us ip with opt-out to sharing email with regional partners ensure share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in value is nil	Manual test #2
Teacher	Yes	no selection	nil	create new teacher with us ip with no selection on sharing email with regional partners ensure share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in value is nil	Manual test #3
Teacher	No	N/A	nil	create new teacher with non-us ip ensure share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in value is nil	Manual test #4
Student	N/A	N/A	nil	create new student ensure share_teacher_email_regional_partner_opt_in value is nil	Manual test #5

Future work

Start the Optimizely A/B experiment to ensure the presence of this new opt-in choice doesn't impede the rate of new users successfully signing up. It tracks this through number of successful sign-ups in both versions of the A/B experiment. This feature is toggled using the experiment flag "OPT_IN_EMAIL_REG_PARTNER". Once this PR is pushed, the experiment flag can be toggled using these links (which Optimizely will do for users automatically): ON / OFF.

If this will be run at the same time as the "Teacher vs. Student" experiment, then they will be run as mutually exclusive experiments.

Privacy

Does not store any extra personal information. At most, it will store a time stamp of when (if they did) select yes to sharing their email with a Code.org regional partner. As for the sharing of the email itself, the spec answers that with the following: "This does not necessitate a change to our privacy policy. Once we share the teacher’s email address with a regional partner, we no longer have a responsibility for how that teacher can unsubscribe from emails from the regional partner (they manage it at that point)."
