    Bug Review / Quick Win List

    Edward Byun

    • Ivan Stepanok contributing bug fixes. Did some triage and has some



    Learning Academies Sync


    Edward Byun

    • Zeitlabs/ Raccoon Gang/Schema had meeting about learning academies, shared goals and plans for development and contributions

    • Discussed plugin vs separate startup model for solution

    • Zeitlabs working towards an ADR for discussion, coming soon!

    • Since conversation Volodymyr Chekyrta has some concerns about maintenance in separate startup model

    • Worried about having to test separate models with all changes. Don’t want to have a codebase that needs to check tenancy for significant chunks of the code

    • Ed: if-else model is unsustainable, so we should target a more maintainable/ elegant solution. Should not have functionality diverge between single vs multi

    • Takeaway: technical discovery required. Will do in parallel w/ Zeitlabs ADR. Framework documented here

     

    Update on Course Content View & Visual Course Progress

    RG / Schema

    • PR for new progress page in review.

     

    Using current offline capabilities with older versions of the platform

    Ed@Axim

    • Conversations with ASU mobile pilot around mobile offline mode. ASU is using Sumac. Need to understand what exists in main vs on a branch for offline mode to support their deployment

    • Is there an easy way to back-port offline capabilities?

    • Volodymyr: not a lot of new features between Sumac/now. Needs more work for feature..

    • Ed: we support some offline functionality; this pilot would help drive future approach to offline

    • Takeaway: need to understand what capabilities exist in Sumac, what improvements and new offline capabilities have been added since. Edward Zarecor to provide Sumac instance w/ necessary keys to test. Volodymyr Chekyrta to help support dif btwn Sumac/current.

    • What would it look like to add feature branch’s offline capabilities: do arch. blockers make it unusable or is it at a state that is test-able

    • Related code:

    • Potential needs

      • PDF download for offline access

      • Links in text blocks to files and uploads are not resolved and downloaded

      • Textbook access offline, this is a bit of a bolt on and we don’t believe it is used very much. We’ll consider this out of scope for offline mode until further notice.

      • Mobile friendliness analysis and feedback

      • Offline mode for the PDF XBlock – need more details about which specific block to use.
