Discovery: Improved App Discovery

Quick Discovery: Improved Discovery Experience [Mobile Roadmap]

Recap of Discovery so far

• Solution for Open edX base case without Discovery service

• edx-platform APIs for courses / programs

• Additional metadata for improved discovery

• potential fully offline catalog

Other avenues to consider

• Potential for discovery recommendations (what can be done for base case / Open edX here?)

Discovery: Learning Site Selection

Quick Discovery: Learning Academy Selection [Mobile Roadmap

Recap of Discovery so far

• Deep Linking over QR Code Linking

  • “Dumb QR Links”

Roadmap Prioritization

• Discussed how we are currently prioritizing roadmap items

  • Added tentative 1,2,3 designations to Roadmap page Open edX Mobile Roadmap

  • Current priorities based on expanding use of mobile application

  • Potential funded contributions

• Other roadmap entries / themes might benefit from 2U / edx input

  • hope to expand our ability to focus / discuss this once NDA conversations are finalized

• Open Questions:

  • Plugin maturity / capabilities in RG apps to support parity

  • Parity timelines + what does parity mean.

  • How could we share potential analytics usage data for features / capabilities

•  

Analytics / Push / Deep Linking

Analytics: Current edX usage of tools - (GA + Firebase ) via Segment.

• will review this data once NDA is signed / resolved

• RG is looking into technologies to use for Analytics / Push Notifications / Deep Linking

Push Notifications: Firebase / Braze

Deep Linking: Branch (current)

• Ideally each of these is done in a way that makes it easy to not tie in specific implementations into the application, but isolates these tool choices where possible into a plugin

• General ability to pass / send events to other sources will help flexibility + pluggability (as opposed to tying in specific integration references within the code base ex: Braze / Firebase / etc)

Future Topics

• Analytics Abstractions / Tools

• Commerce

• General Pluggability

• General Infrastructure Investments

  • Build / Tutor Support

  • Accessibility

  • Theming

  • Internationalization

• Single Axim / Provider App Path

  • Learning Site Selection Discovery in progress

• Discovery Experiences

• General UX / Navigation
