@Michele Floeckher (Deactivated) Yes, once we implement the first phase of assessment support will likely be a good time to check this out. Though integration with core edX is our last milestone, so it will be easier to test once we complete that step.
@Albert (AJ) St. Aubin (Deactivated) mentioned in the meeting though that he’ll be testing imports before this final milestone, and can make the course imports available publicly. We could also setup a sandbox on our side with course exports made with the tool so you can test what common cartridges will look like once imported into an edX instance.
@Albert (AJ) St. Aubin (Deactivated) Just want to provide an update here. We have a preliminary PR for basic assessment support open at the moment, though Demid is still working on it. I know you were apprehensive about exciting your partners by asking for example Common Cartridge courses too early in the process. Demid had mentioned that it would be quite valuable in helping the development process here. Do you know if it would be possible to get some examples from your partners to help aid testing and targeting support for their use cases?
@Josh McLaughlin We were meant to have a call on Monday with a faculty but it had to be pushed back a week. I am hoping by the end of next week we could get a sample. One question - we have some other eager partners who use other platforms (Moodle) instead of Canvas that may be able to get us a course sooner. Would that be worthwhile? Or do we think it needs to be from Canvas?
I think that will help in the long run @Michele Floeckher (Deactivated) anyway. Having more test data always helps.
We should prioritize getting data to Josh and Demid though. This could quickly become a blocker.
Yes, it will definitely help regardless of the platform it’s from. It’d in many ways help to have exports from a wider variety of platforms, since most of our examples are from Canvas, but we want to support exports from any platform.
Great - I widened the call for samples and have had several responses. I expect to have a sample by next week.
@Josh McLaughlin Here is a dropbox link to the course we got from one of our partners: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bk68e82v11y2am3/cs7637-knowledge-based-ai-fa20-export.imscc?dl=0 Please let me know if you need anything further from me.
That was quick. Thanks much @Michele Floeckher (Deactivated). If you do get other responses, additional courses can’t hurt, but this export will help us as well.
@Josh McLaughlin Is it fair to assume that after August 10 would be a time when we could do some internal testing? I’d like us to start getting some courses and using at least the basic pieces of the conversion. FYI @Albert (AJ) St. Aubin (Deactivated)
