The MVP will introduce two new key concepts for authors, each with an anticipated behavior change:
1.
Libraries are designed to enable generalized content reuse, and are not limited to the randomized reuse case.
This is a radical shift away from the way users utilize legacy Libraries, where the only supported use case support is for the randomized content block. Instead, Libraries are authoring spaces that function independently from the course, where authors can create content independently of the prescriptive course outline, reuse that content in any/many courses, and sync updates centrally.
The UX/UI optimizes for this shift, with a new delineation in the course outline between “new content” and “reusable content”, a new Library page within the course to track and sync updates, and improvements to the workflow for pulling content from a library into a course.
2.
Libraries are designed to hold and manage large, diverse sets of content.
This is also a radical shift away from the way users utilize legacy Libraries, where users must create a new Library each time they wish to create a new pool of problems to randomize. This results in dozens or even hundreds of Libraries for a single exam or course. Rather, Libraries should be akin to a library in real life, where there’s a shelf for the fiction section, a shelf for the history section, etc, with all the books under one roof.
