Hello,
I am working in an issue link available bellow. The proposed solution is to include section prerequisites during Course Export/Import (between different platform instances) and Course Re-Run (within the same instance). I stumble in to the following concerns that I need clarity.
My Concerns
1. For Course Export/Import (Cross-Instance)
Current exported OLX formatting approach:
xml elements have property referenced using url_name="COURSE/SECTION/SUBSECTION_ID" (e.g., course-v1:Org+Course+Run/sequential/abc123).
Problem:
These IDs are instance-specific. When exported to a different instance, the same IDs won’t exist or will point to wrong content.
Challenge:
Static references (hardcoded IDs) won’t work across instances.
2. For Course Re-Run (Same Instance)
Approach:
Static references should work since the re-run happens in the same instance.
I am concerned if the proposed issue should be approached differently, I would love to have an input and if there are different perspective from some one with experience in course Export/Import implementation and the platform in general.
