Educators, if you could add any feature to Open edX, what would it be? :sparkles: We’re collecting ideas for new features—and we want your input! If there’s something that slows you down, creates friction for your team, or makes learning more difficult for your students, we want to hear about it. W…

@danbrac @abylaikhan.suev.02 @rploggen @Anh_Vu_Nguy_n @colin.fredericks @egordon @dggordon @MITxOnlineInstructor @misilot Thanks so much for all the great ideas you’ve shared in this thread! I know it’s a bit of a hassle, but it would be really helpful if you could repost your ideas following the …

Thanks. Are there any live examples of Public Course Content available?

@rploggen There is for example the Open Source Masterclass MOOC which has its content public. [1]

@antoviaque which version of Open edX does that site run? Edit: Actually @antoviaque could you answer in this thread? Example sites with Public Course Content setting enabled

In dropdown questions we cannot currently format answer options to use mathjax, HTML entities/hex codes, or formatting tags (super/subscripting).

It isn’t in the system to grade, and instructors do go to lengths to try to find those saved answers or give a student another try at MIT. Please jus…

It took a while to think about what is worth proposing given the range from minor to major, but given the recent MIT Digital Learning Lab conversations, here is an ask for a more significant change in how the platform functions. Specifically around the grading policy being more inclusive and less fo…

Thank, interesting. Other coursetools also offer the option to download a full course or module to the local computer, in such a format that the person can follow course content without an internet connection, handy for users in low internet reach areas.

Is there any documentation on enabling the CC Export? I only see a small mention of CC on the Teak release notes Smaller Changes (Potpourri) — Latest documentation and talks about importing CC into Open edX, and not getting a CC export file that we can use to share with others for use in other platf…

@misilot check out the release note: Smaller Changes (Potpourri) — Latest documentation As mentioned by @jmakowski above: a project to support the importing of common cartridge files onto Open edX, and improvements to the cc-olx pipeline. The use case was that potential clients were looking to mo…

@ali_hugo sure, I’ll lock this thread at this point. I see the solution to the thread directs people to post in this category: About the Feature Requests category if they’d like to share more ideas.
