Libraries Relaunch: MVP Requirements

Value Statement: The relaunch of Libraries includes a suite of new features and functionality that make Libraries centralized hubs for authoring and content management. Authors can create content independently of the course outline, and reuse it in as many courses as they’d like, with synced updates. Authors can choose to reuse single pieces of content independently, or to create pools of content that can be randomized. Libraries will flexibly hold as much content as needed, with tools for searching, filtering and adding tags. Users can also create subsets, or collections of content, within Libraries. The first phase of the relaunch will include the ability to create and reuse components, add tags, search, and create content subsets.

Requirements:

These are the firm requirements needed before we can relaunch Libraries in a Community Release:

1. The Library authoring environment includes the latest text editor, problem editor and video editor, and static asset support.

2. The Library authoring environment supports the ability to create multiple subsets of components for reuse.

3. The Library authoring environment supports tags and taxonomies as the primary mode of managing components.

4. The Library authoring environment has keyword search and the ability to filter/facet by tags.

5. The Library block supports both static reuse and randomized reuse.

   1. Product definition for overriding, course local copies

6. The Library block and the Library authoring environment are designed in a user-friendly and intuitive way.

7. Full support for Library ---> Library import/export

8. Libraries are built on/migrated to Learning Core.

9. Architecture plan to support better library/course behavior, interactions

10. A solid migration plan for getting V1 libraries into the new library environment.

11. The right branding.

12. Full support for Course ---> Library import/export [This could be post-MVP]

Major epics/milestones to get us to the Libraries Relaunch

• https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OEPM/pages/4009623561

• https://github.com/openedx/modular-learning/issues/121

• UX/UI Improvements to the new Library Block [may be contingent on https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OEPM/pages/4009623561 ]

• UX/UI Improvements to the Library authoring environment [may be contingent on ]

• Support for Library ---> Library import/export

• Libraries are built on/migrated to Learning Core.

• Architecture plan to support better library/course behavior, interactions

• Migration plan plus UI

Estimations for remaining work:

The Library authoring environment includes the latest text editor, problem editor and video editor.

This seemed like it was a toggle issue but also has a contingency on the V1 - V2 migration.

The Library authoring environment supports the ability to create multiple subsets of components for reuse.

Need UI estimates first, then implementation estimates.

Is there technical discovery that needs to be done?

The Library authoring environment supports tags and taxonomies as the primary mode of managing components.

Already underway, estimates

The Library authoring environment has keyword search and the ability to filter/facet by tags.

Already underway, estimates

The Library block supports both static reuse and randomized reuse.

Is this the extend of the remaining technical work?

The Library block and the Library authoring environment are designed in a user-friendly and intuitive way.

Need UI estimates for any improvements.

Full support for Library ---> Library import/export

Needs more product definition. Is partial import/export required? Preserve version history?

Libraries are built on/migrated to Learning Core.

Architecture plan to support better library/course behavior, interactions

~3-4 of dev time
