Brand Alignment (NEW)

The home page now better reflects the edX.org brand styles that are used throughout our marketing and marketplaceis now built with Paragon, allowing it to be easily styled with brand colors / components in both an edX and Open edX context.

Course Listing

Course cards show the course thumbnail, information about the course, and the ability to upgrade to a paid track or view/begin a course (if applicable). Further course actions (e.g. unenroll, email opt-out settings, and social media share) have been moved to the menu/triple dot icon on the course card.

All of a user’s courses and entitlements are fetched on page load. To make the page manageable, we paginate that list, showing only 5 25 courses at a time. To view other courses, a user should page through their list of courses using the pagination controls at the bottom of the course list.

Note that if there is a username/email collision, this will use email as the fallback identifier. Note also that this is designed to be “view only” so change actions (e.g. enroll, unenroll, selecting a session) are blocked in this view.
