The MVP for the Content Libraries Overhaul focuses on the capacity for course authors to create and manage course components (text, video and problems) independently of the course outline, and to reuse components in as many courses as they wish with the ability to sync updates centrally.
The next phase for Libraries expands support of units, subsections and sections.
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.
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.
Functional requirements: Library Side
Users can create new units, subsections and sections in a Library
Users can create new collections in a Library and add and remove units, subsections and sections
User can add tags to units, subsections and sections
Search, filter and sort applies to units, subsections and sections
Users can publish units, subsections and sections
Functional requirements: Course Side
Users can search Libraries for course content from within the course outline
Users receive notifications about content updates
Users can review and accept/deny content updates
Users are warned adequately when making edits locally
Users can track key metadata on Library content, including which courses it’s used in
UX/UI Needs
Libraries must support a creation workflow for creating new units, subsections and sections
Libraries must support an editing workflow/editor environment for units, subsections and sections
In-context sidebars must be expanded such that each unit, subsection and section has a sidebar.
Needs discovery: Are previews necessary? Even possible?
Library Home must contain one tab each for units, subsections and sections, where users see a filtered view.
All of the searching, sorts and filters that apply to components must be extended to units, subsections and sections.
