Contents management in Library

[Hoang_PHAM_HUY (HP)]

Hi

I really like Library in open edX. I can define question bank by Library and apply those questions in many courses.

That’s perfect, but… It is so primitive the feature of Library now. For example I want to group questions into categories, or I want to define the level of difficulty for each question. Then, in my course, I can randomize questions from bank, within a category, of by level of easy/medium/hard… For now, I have to create many Library (one for each category and then, for each difficulty level again… Oh my God!!!). When I have many Library, moving questions among those Libraries is a nightmare.

Anybody has sugession for using Library in more efficient way? Or is there any plan to upgrade Library feature in next release? Or there is a Library XBlock which I don’t know?

Thank you for any comments.

HP.

I can’t actually see any way to do that, and it doesn’t say anything about using the content in a class here, only creating it and sharing it: 8.5.

Current state of Content Libraries v2 (with Blockstore) and frontend-app-library-authoring

Hi everyone, So this is somewhat related to this post: … but I figure it probably warrants a separate topic/thread. In the aforementioned talk, @braden briefly mentions (near the very end, link with timestamp: Building with Blockstore - How OpenCraft Developed LabXchange Using Open edX by Braden MacDonald - YouTube) the frontend-app-library-authoring MFE which would help course authors build Blockstore-based v2 content libraries. (To the best of my knowledge that is the only s…
