Notes

 

  • Survey for Product Narrative subgroup

    • Would be great if people spread the word about the survey! See (and actual survey: ) for more detail

    • Pushing survey to Open edX users with help of marketing working group

    • Proposal of email that we would send to the community:

    • Outcomes hoping for: want to know what things people use & value the most. That information will guide the product narrative creation. One survey question is about what is most valued, and correlate that by different roles that people have

    • Timeline: just beginning to send this out; we don’t have a deadline right now. Going to see how response rate is trending over time (currently 6-7 responses)

  • Notes doc for brainstorming:

  • Dave on modular learning - see

    • We went through Phase 1, which is nearing development. Please take a look at the milestones and technical approach and give feedback

      • (Dave) I’ve never been so excited about a copy-paste feature!

      • (Ed) please take the time to dig in deep here. This is an important area of change where we’re making substantial investments. Your input and perspectives are really needed.

      • (Dave) Yeah, this feature is not too far away from partial import into the course (much requested feature). This work lays the groundwork for so many more features. Take a look at what is being evolved in the future phases of the work after Phase 1. Give feedback on what you want that’s missing.

      • (Dave) There’s high level and low level stuff, even skimming ok

    • Phase 2 is in discovery, and we touched on that

  • Felipe - willing to put in the technical capacity to do this PR

    • but we need product guidance.

    • Willingness from product to get this in

    • I’d like to work with someone on this

      • @Edward Zarecor has volunteered to work with @Jenna Makowski on this, to help get @Felipe Montoya connected to the right people and get this to done

        • OpenCraft has done some work here; Giovanni has done some review here
