Content: Special Exams (Proctored, Timed)

aka Proctoring

The team is working on adding a new integration/provider option into edx-proctoring. They are working to make changes to the existing system to support this new integration and likely will have the expertise and context around the edx-proctoring system. They are still in active development phase and the new integration has not yet been rolled out fully.
For incoming Proctored Exam issues:
  • Tag David St. Germain (Deactivated) (Dahlia Team Tech Lead) and message in #masters-proctoring on the Internal Slack with the ticket link to determine if issue is related to any ongoing work or changes. This will keep the dev team updated to any fixes that we see coming in, and help give insight whether it is related to active development. If it is related to active development, the Dahlia team will take on the issue.

Course Grading Policy & Tools

aka Gradebook & potentially Grades

Gradebook is a new micro-frontend that will be used for Master's partners when viewing and editing learner grades. We should not yet be seeing any Gradebook issues as it has not been released to all users and currently is in a pilot phase with a small subset of partners.

There have been some underlying changes with Grades in the process of the team's work, They are not actively working on making changes to how grades are calculated, but may have the knowledge and context around issues that arise.

For incoming Gradebook issues:

  • If there is anything related to the new Gradebook, tag Deen Abdul-Hathi (Deactivated) (Product Manager) for context and he can work with the engineering team in Cambridge to triage and prioritize.

For incoming Grades issues:

  •  Tag Simon Chen (Neem Engineering Manager) to provide context of work that our team is working on to resolve. This provide insight to the team of what changes our teams are making and they may be able to provide knowledge sharing.

Registrar service

As part of running and administrating Master programs, edX needs integration with Masters degree conferring schools. Registrar service is our integration layer with Schools systems. It manages information like Program Enrollment and Program course enrollments. No data should be live for these efforts. There shouldn't be any escalation issues for these yet.edX Internal Slack #masterdevsIn Progress

Feature Based Enrollments (FBE)

New Revenue Model for edX

Feature Based Enrollments (FBE) is the name of the project for the new revenue model that has been rolled out on the platform. FBE changes the definition of the free and paid tracks at edX. The Revenue team is still actively working on this system. They are actively experimenting in this area.

For any FBE specific issues:

  • Tag Gabe Mulley (Deactivated) (Revenue Eng Manager) and Shelby Quinn (Deactivated) (Product Manager) for any FBE specific issues for the Revenue squad to triage and prioritize. They will work within their team to resolve issues as they are still actively working on and improving this product feature.
edX Internal Slack: #revenue-engineeringLaunched
MultipleSite-wide experimentsThe Revenue squad is actively running a wide variety of experiments across the system related to payment and payment pathways. You may encounter these experiments when manually testing and/or triaging issues. An example experiment is a banner that is visible inside courses that offers a 15% off discount to users who have never paid before.

Active page of current flags: Revenue waffle flags and switches

For anything that looks like an experiment causing issues on the production site:

  • Tag Gabe Mulley (Deactivated) (Revenue Eng Manager) and Shelby Quinn (Deactivated) (Product Manager). They will work within their team to resolve issues as they are still actively working on and improving this product feature. It's OK to tag them if you are unsure, they will quickly be able to tell you if it is an ongoing experiment or not.
