Publicising the goals of the different Working Groups

How To videos

Dean Jay Mathew

• Placement: How To videos are tentatively planned to be placed under the Get Started section of the Open edX® website.

• Quality Control: Juan Camilo Montoya and Esteban Etcheverry are supporting this initiative and said we could use a similar video template to the recent Meet the Marketing WG Members series, and that the template should be strictly adhered to. We need to add a quality control step (audio, graphics etc must be reviewed for quality).

• tCRIL: Jenna Makowski mentioned that she is busy with a similar initiative and suggests collaboration. tCRIL are doing a How To series in text format, so the video could support and enhance that. Here is an example of a similarly styled tutorial with video and text from Elegant Themes: https://www.elegantthemes.com/documentation/divi/video-slider/

Code of Conduct

Nicole Kessler

• This is a high priority and must be updated/finalised soonestfor after the upcoming conference

• The Marketing WG is planning to create an addendum, rather that updating the current outline. The addendum will be specific to the collaboration environment of the Marketing WG and will include the recent violations to avoid them going forward. The full outline of the addendum has not been identified yet and we will not have capacity to do so, until after the conference. More details to follow.

Open Source Platforms Comparison

Eden Huthmacher

• “apple-to-apple“ comparison: is being done between different open source platforms, starting with Open edX® vs Moodle.

• Document: We need a new person to take over this role and Jenna Makowski mentioned she is already working on a document comparing how Moodle does documentation. Jenna says she can broaden her work to start comparing platforms from a product viewpoint. Strengths vs weaknesses, etc. It overlaps with the Product Working Group a bit so collaboration between these two WGs is on the table. For this “Competitive landscape research”; we need to first agree on what do we want to present, then we can work backwards from there.
