Updated CourseGraph Tool

TL;DR: 

Coursegraph, the tool used internally at edX to help answer questions about our course content, has been updated to keep its catalog data current. CourseGraph stopped updating over a year ago, leaving us without the latest information about course content, but thankfully this is now fixed after various infrastructure updates! Coursegraph lets us understand which features are in use across the very long list of capabilities in our content platform, putting into perspective the impacts of product changes, open bugs, etc.

Release date: 11/15/21

What is it? Infrastructure updates to our CourseGraph tool that let us answer important questions about our course content including:

  • Which content blocks & LTI content tools are in use across the catalog?

  • Help me identify which courses are using a soon-to-be deprecated feature so that we can notify these course teams.

  • How many courses use feature X?

  • Which courses across the catalog have upcoming proctored exams scheduled?

  • Many other example questions along with Coursegraph documentation linked here
