Updates:
- Onboarded Jill Vogel , developer to work on prototype
- Started developing prototype; will share WIP code later next week
- Have been incorporating feedback into the Use Cases document
- I looked into seq_module.py to learn what we'd miss by excluding sequentials:
-> Problem due dates
-> "Hide sequence content After Due Date" feature
-> Various settings, data, and functionality related to proctored exams
-> Defining one sequential as an entrance exam
-> Prerequisite gating
-> Remembering the user's last unit viewed
-> Bookmarking units
-> JS used to render completion checkmark icons
Questions:
- Should we merge the OEP?
- Is anyone from edX interested in writing up edX use cases for Blockstore, similar to what we're doing for LabXchange?
- Discuss terminology (Nimisha: " So, either we use the term Learning Unit throughout or we start using Learning Object (or whatever term we end up with). Maybe spending some time to flesh out the definitions might be a worthwhile goal for today's meeting - unless you had other plans/thoughts.")
- (Related) Review MIT OSIDs
- Asset ("An Asset represents a unit of content,"), from the Repository package
- Has a publisher
- Can be tagged with ontologies
- getSource: "Gets the Resource of the source of this asset. The source is the original owner of the copyright of this asset and may differ from the creator of this asset. The source for a published book written by Margaret Mitchell would be Macmillan. The source for an unpublished painting by Arthur Goodwin would be Arthur Goodwin."
- getProviderLinks: "Gets the Resources representing the source of this asset in order from the most recent provider to the originating source."
- Asset compositions can be created using the Composition interface. A Composition is a group of Assets and compositions may be structured into a hierarchy for the purpose of "building" larger content
- Resource: "Resources may represent people, places or a set or arbitrary entities"
- a Resource can also be defined as a hierarchical group of other resources
- Resources may have arbitrary relationships to other Resources using the ResourceRelationship interface
