Non-Linear Learning using Open EdX: Resource Hubs

Presentation from Arizona State University Team
A look at organizing ungraded, browsable “resource hubs” to be useful for self-directed learners.
Q&A Starting at 14:30

Goal: Knowledge Share around Pain Points

Encouragement of bringing common pain points to future agendas. Topics and questions for which experts and presentations might not exist, but would benefit from

Documentation

Overview of a proposed process for Educators working group. Based on existing Documentation process from Axim, modified to avoid requiring RST
A complicating factor is the variation between versions. Especially as we roll out MFEs. It is important to use the most recent release. As we still work a lot of instances toward the most recent release, one strategy we can use is to focus on sections and topics that aren’t as affected by recent changes.
Decision: @John Swope will liaise with @Jenna Makowski on upcoming priorities to determine the first section.
Decision: Choose a simple section to start with. Map out the topics and start by documenting those topics.
Elizabeth Gordon and ASU has developed some of their own documentation, and can copy this over to a format that is ready for RST conversion.
Ask: Calling for volunteers to support documentation.
@Sarina Canelake is available for supporting/teaching documentation for folks who want a resource.

DemoX Course (v2)

Goal is to build a new version of the DemoX course that is inspiring and informative for new users of the Open edX platform.
Consensus was that people use this course as a basic “how-to” course for students and a reference for course developers.
There is appreciation for a course with a common course structure just being available, and so it gets used in a variety of ways.
An asynchronous survey will be sent out soon.

Dashboarding and Analytics

Jenna has asked our help to shape the analytics and dashboarding needs. “What are the questions you want to answer with the data in Open edX?”
