This expansion will enable Libraries to support the full range of use cases identified in initial product discovery phases. Most importantly, it will enable course authors to create units, subsections and sections - in other words, full learning sequences - independently of the course outline, and reuse these learning sequences freely.

Quick Read - What’s in Teak?

Library support for units:

  • Units can be created in Libraries

  • Units are searchable and discoverable in Libraries

  • Units can be reused in courses

  • Units in courses can be synced with Library updates

Library support for subsections and sections

  • Subsections and sections can be viewed as read-only content in Libraries

  • Subsections and sections are searchable and discoverable in Libraries (feasible?)

Library support for import

  • Full courses can be imported into Libraries and content can be disaggregated at the unit, subsection or section level

  • Content can be imported into Libraries from external sources, starting with Common Cartridge conversion support

    • Content from third party sources can be synced so updates carry through into the Libraries (feasible?)

Functional Requirements

Similar to the Libraries MVP, this phase of work includes user stories that bridge workflows in both Libraries and in courses, more specifically the Course Outline page.

...

  • Units can be published. Once published, units are available for reuse.

    • Publishing can happen at the Unit level. When a unit is published, all components within it are published. If a component in a unit also exists independently of a unit, it will also be published.

    • Quick publish concept for reused components: If a component is published, it will auto-publish in any unit where it is referenced, unless there has been an override of that component in a unit, in which case authors will be prompted manually to accept the changes.

    • When a Unit has been published, it is available for reuse in a library. If some individual components in a unit are published but not all components, the unit is not available for reuse yet.

  • Units can be tagged

  • Units can be copied

  • Units can be pasted

  • Units can be added to, and removed from, collections

    • Collections can contain a mix of both components and units

Subsection and Section support

  • Subsections and sections can be imported into Libraries (see import requirements below)

  • Subsections and sections are read only, to start. They cannot be edited, nor created from scratch in libraries.

  • Each subsection/section in a Library has a tile representation with a title and description

  • Subsections/sections populate among the components and collections on the library home

  • Subsections/sections turn up in search results and can be sorted and filtered

  • There is a Subsection tab and a Section tab, which is a filter on each respective as a content type

Functional requirements: Course Side

...

  • Units can be copied from a course and pasted into a library

  • Full courses can be imported into a Library. Authors can decide at the time of import what level they want to disaggregate the content in the library - unit level or component level. (Later, section level )

    • Subsections and sections will be read-only, to start

  • On import, content get added as published components, but there is no sync to the original course, the content in the library does not reference the course, it becomes the defacto source of truth version
