Summary
The Core Product Working Group meeting on October 7th featured a presentation by Aamir Ayub on expanding Open edX notifications, specifically focusing on peer grading reminders for Open Response Assessments (ORA). Data analysis showed that 31% of submissions requiring peer grading remained ungraded, with learners either postponing reviews or not having enough peer submissions available to complete requirements. The proposal includes sending reminders to prompt learners to complete pending peer reviews, with open questions about timing, frequency, and whether to account for due dates. Discussion centered on differentiating between in-platform notifications (for active learners) versus email notifications (for re-engagement), the challenges of collecting user feedback on notification preferences, and the need for quantitative data to optimize notification effectiveness. Sarina also clarified the product proposal process, emphasizing that proposal authors must serve as coordinators, actively promoting their proposals in meetings and Slack channels rather than simply submitting them.
