• Or if you don’t want to wait for me just grab a slot on my calendar! https://calendly.com/bmtcril

Questions about event-routing-backends

Brian Mesick

• No one knew if this plugin was turned on on edx.org today.

• Backend supports both xAPI and Caliper

• There’s the ability to route based on matching events

• Supports multiple types of authentication

• For edX the original usecase was edX enterprise. Zia’s team met with the team to demo the plugin, but is not sure whether it was adopted.

• The plugin currently has all the functionality that was discussed in OEP-26.

• You can create a version of an event transform if we are making changes.

• Breaking changes should result in a major version increment

• How does an operator choose which version of an event they get?

  • Choosing a version of the repo is on path

  • There is a white list functionality that can be applied before events are transformed.

Rest of time

Working session on learning events

• Path forward

  • Create ADL group for a learning event profile

  • tCRIL should probably own this and can invite folks to collaborate

  • Together we would design and implement the profile for Open edX learning traces.
