Requirements

Stage 1 - Course Enrollment Page Authoring

Course Enrollment Page Authoring Basics

This would create a new element in the Studio Content dropdown menu called “Enrollment Page” and render a view powered by the new course authoring MFE for course authors to update enrollment page details.

Open

Initially, replicating all existing fields with a slight update would be the initial increment of delivery, but this would be able to quickly improve in the new MFE paradigm alongside improvements to general metadata + enrollment page template improvements.

Open

In the Initial version, the enrollment page should let you View Live across the top as the primary CTA. The fields will be grouped by section just like on the Schedule and details page today.

Fields that currently exist in the Advanced Settings page denoted with an asterisk. When this authoring page is enabled, hide these fields from Advanced Settings to only render them on this page. Some minor label changes apply to these fields.

Course Enrollment Page Authoring Improvements

Additional updates to Learning Objectives to be described here.

Updated Schedule & Details Page (Legacy Studio Experience)

With the shift to having course enrollment page authoring on the new Enrollment page, we will remove the necessary sections from the existing view that power the enrollment pages.

The following section will be removed from Schedule and Details page.

Course Metadata API

Ensure that the updated metadata for the course is accessible to the mobile application, confirm the plans from 2U on Studio modernization to see how this API work (and all of Stage 1) overlaps with existing plans

Ability to cache catalog metadata is helpful for native catalog discovery, so being able to understand whether catalog data is current or stale will be a helpful addition to this API as well.

Stage 2 - Updated Course Enrollment Template in edX-platform

Course Enrollment Page Template

New enrollment page template out of the box for edx-platform that is mobile friendly for courses.

The template is organized currently into the following sections noted below. Italicized items are only shown if configured / enabled / provided by the author.

1. Main Metadata & Visual Details (with Enrollment Action)

   • Org

   • Course Title

   • Course Subtitle / Short Description

   • Enrollment Button

2. What You’ll Learn

3. Secondary Panels

   • Details

     • Long Description

     • Instructors

   • Outline

     • Section 1 Name

       • Learning Objective 1a

       • Learning Objective 1b

     • Section 2 Name

       • Learning Objective 2a

       • Learning Objective 2b

   • Other Panels TBD

Stage 3 - Mobile Catalog Discovery Browse Screens

Mobile Catalog Browse - No Subjects - Native

Subject Views & Workflow

Program Visibility

The addition of a new program card / section in catalog discovery to support an initial version of program visibility on mobile.

Mobile Catalog Browse - Web

This addition would take the existing edx-platform UI for card rendering and allow this to be a chromeless view, embedded in the mobile app discovery tabs. (TBD on whether we want to support this over simply pushing for the native solution as the primary option).

Stage 4 - Mobile Catalog Discovery Search Screens

Mobile Catalog Search Results View - Web

The ability to reference another discovery web view for catalog search on the mobile application, with the out of the box experience pointing to the existing edx-platform search feature

Mobile Catalog Search Results View - Native

Native mobile search results page that can work for both server dependent search as well as quick offline-friendly search for small catalogs via offline catalog caching.
