Offline Blocks - Text Block Linting / Classification
| Discussed how to understand which Text / HTML blocks might be possible to render offline. Some proposals around strict xblock code marking to understand whether blocks are mobile friendly or rely on external dependencies. May still need classification or code level reading, tbd at what level / where in the platform. Progress would still need to be transferred for completion back to the platform. RG has made some progress on text blocks and offline use.

Offline Blocks - Problems | Does this set off alarm bells or concerns? Use for formative assessments is easier, harder when state needs to be synced later on because drift is possible. The problem gets easier if we limit the types of problems that are available for download use. Custom response types with codejails etc are slow / not likely an option for offline use One option to simplify things is to allow for saved responses versus submitted responses When attempting to reconnect back online, if responses don't match you would respect existing LMS answers. The mobile app could / might always be submissions that are lost / losable if other calls or changes took precedence. (ex. Your submissions for this problem were lost / changed due to problem changes please re-submit?)
Any risks to doing this in phases (read only problems, ungraded problems are interactive offline) or needing larger platform changes before we move to broader problem use offline. Visibility in authoring tools for whether a block is mobile friendly or not would be helpful to show. Should there be separate templates for mobile friendly problem types? (Keep Mobile Offline Ready toggle?) RG client is interested in using offline problems for formative / self check assignments (not necessarily exams / summative grades.)

Mobile Friendly Formats / Other Questions | Could / should we use user partitioning tools for mobile friendly problem variants? (ex: Cohort for offline use of certain problem types.) XBlocks have ways to render alternate views (example anonymous views) to render different variant of problem block on mobile potentially. Could have an offline-capable variant of a problem? |
Figma Usage - Cross-Team | Could publish file as a Library for use, adding contributors requires file editors (which costs money). |
