Course Module Completion Time Estimate is Incorrect

Hi all,

This is the first time writing in this forum, so thank you all in advance.

I am currently running an OpenedX instance with tutor, and I have encountered a small issue. (Sorry as a new user I cant upload a screenshot)

The problem is related to the course module estimates, all of my modules show an estimate of “1min” which is incorrect. Is there a way to change this manually or is this calculated automatically and I just haven’t set something up correctly.

Any answers much appreciated.

What types of content/blocks are in your course modules? Problems, HTML blocks, videos, other XBlocks, etc?

Thanks for your answer. I am using HTML blocks.

@Futural it’s very difficult to estimate the duration of HTML blocks so I believe they all estimate at 1 minute. I’m not certain but I know problem blocks and video blocks are easier to do the estimate.

@sarina would you know if it’s possible to disable the estimates maybe? And if possible, how :slight_smile:

I’m sorry, I do not know. You could look in the code to see if there’s a feature flag maybe.

Thanks for your help anyways!

I can’t sleep :slight_smile: so I figured I’d losk up how this works.

See the code for HTML effort: edx-platform/openedx/features/effort_estimation/block_transformers.py at master · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub

And a toggle I think will disable course-by-course: edx-platform/openedx/features/effort_estimation/toggles.py at master · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub

I don’t see a toggle in there that will turn the feature off across your whole site unfortunately.
