Round robin progress updates (4min each)

• RBAC (Bryan)

  • In internal solution review next week

  • Focused on the LMS

  • Initial focus was on “instructor, no editor”, but OpenCraft submitted a PR, limited author, that met this need, this covers the Studio use cases (edx-platform#32570)

  • They focus on LMS actions.

  • Will share proposal for feedback next week.

  • OpenCraft are actively developing an additional role with a deadline of September, best efforts will be made to coordinate, modulo deadlines.

• File Management (Bryan)

  • ***Note: This project has been de-scoped

  • Update here: https://github.com/openedx/platform-roadmap/issues/247#issuecomment-1644654948

  • Thought was to combine file management mechanisms with video management. Implementations are distinct enough this feels intractable.

  • Team is focused on libraries V2, so there are some resource constraints

  • There will be a focus on file related bulk-actions

  • Anticipate picking this back up in 2U Q4.

  • There was a proposal to potentially use tags to represent folder structures.

  • There won’t be folders available for file management in August given that this has been descoped.

• Stats panels (Jenna)

  • Update here: https://github.com/openedx/platform-roadmap/issues/255#issuecomment-1644604818

  • Status update 7/20: Market research complete and use cases have been documented, organized and prioritized: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_lqmXI33Nlb6C37craFrjpD64Od90IX2ev5vI8NAJiM/edit#gid=0
    
    Next step: Create an MVP product spec that includes:

    • Admin dashboard experience that includes basic reports on instance/org health, growth, stats, and what those reports include

    • Course team dashboard experience that includes reports on course data, learner progress, and to identify at-risk learners, and what those reports include

    • Course team experience to pull reports at the problem/assessment level, and what those reports include

• Graded Discussions (Cassie/Jenna/Elizabeth/Aamir)

  • On deck: Draft a spec with refined list of MVP requirements

  • Outlined MVP scope a couple weeks ago.

  • Jenna owns the work of putting together a draft approach doc and sharing.

  • Aamir owns primary review of product approach.

• Studio Home (Jenna)

  • Update here: https://github.com/openedx/platform-roadmap/issues/256#issuecomment-1644623668

  • Goal was to align various stakeholder on approach.

  • Mike Leary from 2U lead a design sprint to reimagine what Studio Home might become.

  • Jenna and Brad Brown are prioritizing the stories that emerged from the design sprint.

  • Brad and Jenna aim to have the list of specs ready by the end of next week.

  • Review in August, shovel ready around the end of August

  • Jeremy Ristau discussed with Felipe Montoya and wanted the 2U team to handle the initial technical build to prepare to accept PRs on a solid foundation.

    • There probably needs to be some further clarification of implementation roles and responsibilities.

  • Will this work be phased? Yes. 12 month time horizon is the expectation. Broad agreement on 12 month roadmap, we’ll review each phase independently.

• ORA rubric (Ed)

  • No substantive update

• Central LTI config management (Fox/Jenna)

  • MVP Spec for LTI Consumer Strategy is here: Product Spec: LTI MVP and future phases

  • Pearson has submitted some PRs related to this

  • OpenCraft is reviewing how/if their work would need to be adjusted given the Pearson contributions, which were developed by eduNEXT on Pearson’s behalf.

• 3rd party plagiarism tools (Felipe)

  • Currently doing a technical design using filters to send data to the turn it in API.

• Flexible grading (Jenna)

  • No immediate updates. Looking at this in terms of the overall grading strategy and the core product definition work.

• Credentials (Ed)

  • V1 completing now, I believe the final PRs have merged today.

• SF Integration (Elizabeth/Fox)

  • Paolo Paulo Viadanna has been driving, but is on vacation

  • ASU have a successful integration for 3 separate projects

  • They’ve contributed some changes to the APIs that they have or will upstream

  • One API they have created is a course clone API to allow SalesForce to clone courses.

  • ASU are using the EDU package as standard extension

  • We can get a writeup of how this works from Paolo Paulo Viadanna and the ASU SF admin, Molly Leonard.

  • ASU are using lambda code to bridge between SF and Open edX – not sure what the priority can be, but can provide a write-up.

  • Some of the technical features like queuing and error process are still work in progress.

• Blueprint/children courses (Jenna)

  • Need to align this plan with the Modular Learning roadmap.

  • We anticipate templating to be part of that scope, but the time line is probably later.

  • Is this a blocker for any team?

    • ASU, want this, but not a blocker

• Completion API (Felipe)

  • Not updates at this time.

  • Need the same extension points as are required for graded discussions

• More flexible grouping options (Felipe)

  • Starting the work on a technical proof of concept

  • Does this require more product review at this time or are they good to move forward with implementation? 

  • Matthew Harrington is working on a comprehensive review of grouping and cohorting features.

  • The research is available, but we don’t yet have a spec. That work is queued, not done.

• Individual Student Emails (Felipe)

  • Initial conversations about the Edly messenger tool, but that hasn’t moved forward.
