Brian Mesick

• Demo server is up for messing around, not that exciting

• EduNEXT expected to contribute hours to OARS

• Lots of valuable conference feedback

  • Making things more pluggable

  • Front loading dbt work

  • Beefier bulk load options

  • Lots of interest in looping back to LMS, perhaps using xblock-asides?

    • Not many docs for this feature, see Runtime API

    • Anecdotal evidence that it still works :)

    • Video clip from 2016

    • Code is throughout edx-platform

    • Andrew Shultz shared edx-arch-experiments + rapid-response-xblockwhich uses them.
