OARS v2 ideation

 

A big chunk of v2 is exposing Superset data/charts in LMS. What do you want to see, and where?

Are there other areas we already know need work?

Are there things in the tracking logs or events in the LMS that we should capture?

 

Life beyond OARS

 

What’s next? How do we make the Open edX data story competitive with other LMSs? How can this group of people help move the community forward?
