[BD-14] Sync 2021-01-15
New sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HVwVx3ejebCmgfkzD8jIBXI7GSjYElcvP_EGi6fqHVQ/edit#gid=486975555
Note: Filters available at the top for milestones
Scoping Milestone 2.5 (aka the milestone formerly known as M3)
Kyle’s understanding: Iteration and refinement of library authoring+usage flow. Objective is a Waffle-flagged release to production, giving beta access to a handful of partners.
Marco: Difference between “everyone can use it” and small list of users via waffle flag might be relatively small, given who uses content libraries today.
Notes on specific tasks
Modernize CAPA Problem Editor
Modernize Video XBlock Editor
New Authoring Page: ElasticSearch Index
Implement New Studio Homepage Header
Install Blockstore as a package and decommission Blockstore service
Improve “Source from Library” Workflow
Review Ange’s work on Miro and Figma
Miro usage notes
Drop a comment using “pin” feature if you want to bring something up to Ange
Can also collaborate with Notes
Click on a person’s avatar to follow their navigation.
Figma is where the designs are made and they’re sync’d over. Will be using that tool later as we get to high fidelity stuff.
Purple + Comic Sans == low fidelity, do not style this way
(this is a first pass from this week)
Flow:
Logs in to Studio
Create a new course
Created a New Section for a course
Chose to add content from existing library
“View libraries button” vs. “Add New Component” (right now it’s just an advanced block, should not require this in the future)
Details here–depends on whether new libraries are even enabled on the platform.
View a full page dialog for adding content from libraries → flush edge-to-edge
This is a new pattern, used for step-by-step wizard style
Understanding the average number of libraries people are selecting from.
Most may only have a few libraries.
Dave: Future use of tags should also help reduce the number of libraries needed.
How to we do this full UI technically – iframe? Concern about wedging React.
Could we do a different URL entirely and redirect afterwards?
Next step is after library selection is a component selection
Open question on whether this step is a table of component preview listing
What information will educators need to quickly select something?
After component selection is preview step
Plan to remove “edit name” step from the mocks
The overriding of settings is an open challenge / issue here for blocks pulled in from libraries.
Unit page preview
wrapper xblock pattern has some changes proposed to show blocks directly on the page.
Component editing pattern styling updates
will keep out of BD-14 and have as general T&L task
Main Library Editing view
Search is broken - this needs addressing
Potential for table shift vs list item objects (similar to the library source block)
Allow public learning / Allow public read
Primary concerns currently:
How to achieve the full page xblock editing interface
Unit preview mode for library source block is an additional challenge
Unit editing state/case for library source block is mostly the question here
How to achieve the video / capa editors in new library MFE
or will we need to rewrite them.
Development size of Library source block workflow
Technical discovery on how we source library content (and how it impacts import / export)
Development size of randomized content block backed by blockstore
Community interest in completion and extension of content libraries ( @Former user (Deleted) )
Next step: meeting next week to review discovery progress
