Overview

This effort is looking to update the Course Updates feature in Studio that educators use to post updates in their courses. The proposed changes include the ability to schedule or trigger course updates, automatically cross-post them as an email and discussions post, and more. These changes are meant to help our course instructor experience echo that of similar course management platforms which streamline these kinds of course communications.

Abstract

We would like to help simplify the an educator’s experience by making it easier to community course updates with students. Today, you can use the Course Updates feature to post an update in Course Home, but you cannot schedule these updates. You must also copy the contents of this post to the Bulk Email tool to broadcast this message, and optionally create a post in the Discussion forums to echo this.

Context & Background

  • The Course Updates feature was recently converted to being powered by new React / Paragon, but previous to this change this part of the platform had remained relatively unchanged since its initial implementation into Studio in 2013 or so.
