Round robin progress updates (4min each)
RBAC (Bryan)
Updated the ticket on the roadmap yesterday
Tech specs are up for review and feedback, would like to close by Wednesday.
Have added one additional engineer.
Also working on permissions grid mapping all available permissions to roles, that is also posted in the ticket, want feedback by September 1 on the grid.
File Management (Bryan)
***Note: This project has been de-scoped
It has been built out and is being tested internally. They are focused on bug resolution for now. However, still hopeful to get this into beta testing probably in September.
Aspects Data Platform, formerly Stats panels (Jenna)
eduNEXT team is working hard on this for the Spanish Consortium and are planning to role this out for their instances. Expect a lot of progress in the next couple week.
Go live date hasn’t been established yet, but eduNEXT are pushing for a working version as quickly as possible.
Graded Discussions (Cassie/Jenna/Elizabeth/Aamir)
Jenna will kick of the spec work and UX/UI is contingent on product specs.
@Cassie Zamparini could potentially take over product definition for this feature.
We’ll discuss when @Jenna Makowski is back next week.
Have been working with Jon Faye on producing mocks
Have survey stakeholders to create a prioritized list of sorting and filtering options on the home landing page.
Mocks – early versions – were review this week.
eduNEXT is also interested in this work and are happy to collaborate when the specifications come together.
Does eduNEXT feel they are sufficiently in-the-loop?
Currently, yes.
Community will be looped in more fully after mocks are past a draft state
ORA rubric (Ed)
Plan for coordination of ORA efforts
@Edward Zarecor to schedule a coordination meeting with eduNEXT.
Are there specific deadlines for ORA rubric needs?
eduNEXT has a couple of priorities around extensions, files updates, and UX
For files, currently the course team needs to delete a submission to unblock resubmission.
Allow peer review / course staff review to happen simultaneously – need at ticket for this.
Allow for some team participation – very early discovery for this currently.
Want to explore the options of integrating open responses with anti-plagiarism with turn-it-in. eduNEXT is having a conversation with engineers at TurnItIn.
PRs are currently under review and will be completed by Tuesday morning.
3rd party plagiarism tools (Felipe)
Same update as above regarding TurnItIn
Daniel at 2U was speaking with TurnItIn about AI enabled grading capabilities. This doesn’t look like an are where they plan to focus AI autograding, only AI plagarism detection.
Flexible grading (Jenna)
No update
Credentials (Ed)
V1 one of this work is complete and back-ported to palm.
SF Integration (Elizabeth/Fox)
On the hook to write this up after ASU’s big September launch. Don’t expect progress until after the launch.
Blueprint/children courses (Jenna)
No update
Completion API (Felipe)
Similar state to graded discussions, would need an API for summarizing “seat time,” “time on task” as an element of the students final grade.
Not looking to precisely measure time, but rather have a notion of what completion means for a particular block and summarize that as part of grading.
More flexible grouping options (Felipe)
The did a proof of concept to bridge between cohorts and teams.
Started with cohorts because they are already linked to content groups in Studio.
Discussed with edu WG and reviewed Matthew Harrington’s review of competitors features.
Adopted their approach and are considering extending teams so they have more significance
Private discussions – current feature
Content group integration
This can’t live on a fork, so which teams should we ping for review to make sure we get feedback.
2U and Axim should review
Don’t plan to implement all of Matthew’s recommendations, probably around 1/4.
Two must haves from Spanish perspective
Managed and free grouping of students – maybe managed to create, free to join
Includes connection to content groups
Assignment of instructor/TA at the group level
We should make sure that the RBAC doc captures this requirement for TA level permissions
Where can we get data about the relative use of teams, cohorts, group to help inform direction decision.
MIT prefers groups
Used for splitting exams and tests
Used for A/B tests especially for incoming freshman looking to test out of requirements.
Individual Student Emails (Felipe)
No update at this time.
Changing to focus student grouping may influence the design of this feature.
