From YouTube: Torus Community Meeting April 2023
Description
Monthly meeting to discuss Open Learning Initiative's next generation platform. This month, we presented the student experience and course section creation features coming up in our next release version of the platform.
A
A
A
B
B
B
B
It
is
ready
to
go
we're
doing
some
we're
working
on
some
Communications
and-
and
you
know
Outreach
before
we
just
push
it
out,
but
I
am
very
excited
for
you
to
see
what
will
be
coming
So
today,
we're
going
to
focus
on
mainly
the
student
experience,
but
because
that's
pretty
quick
and
easy
to
go
through
also
show
you
some
of
the
new
stuff
that'll,
be
part,
of
course,
suction
creation.
This
is
really
start
all
in
service
of
the
student
and
learn.
B
So
what
I
really
want
to
show
you
first
before
we
dig
into
instructor
stuff,
is
right
now,
I
am
a
I've
been
given
a
link
essentially
to
a
course
section.
That's
where
we're
going
to
start
today,
so
I'm,
a
learner
who
was
given
a
link
to
enter
the
support
section,
and
so,
when
I
enter
that
link.
I
get
this
in
my
my
courses
list
and
I
can,
by
the
way
that
image
is
configurable.
B
B
There's
this
overall
course
progress
bar
and
by
the
way,
I've
been
here
as
a
student
already
playing
around
to
to
seed
some
stuff,
so
that
you
could
see
the
course
progress
bar
have
a
little
stuff
and,
as
you
can
see
this
course
is
really
long.
So
progress
is
calculated
over
all
the
pages
and
activities
and,
of
course,
and
I've
gone
through
just
a
tiny
bit,
but
it's
giving
me
a
percentage
of
completion
and
we
can
dig
into
what
that
means
a
little
bit
later.
B
We
have
the
ability
to
also
pull
out
this
left
navigation
bar
and
get
to
any
of
the
pages.
This
way
as
well-
and
this
persists
even
when
I
dig
into
the
page,
so
that
I
can
always
easily
get
back
to
the
course
outline
and
discussion
posts.
There's
a
couple
places
and
ways
we
can
do
discussion
in
in
the
platform.
B
I
haven't
opened
these
twisties
so
that
you
know
pretty
simple
interface
for
digging
into
a
course
just
to
show
you
some
pages
I'm
going
to
go
through
I'll
go
through
since
I
already
went
through
Stoichiometry
earlier
I'll
go
through
some
little
short
section
here.
We'll
get
into
chemical!
Well,
go
through
geometry
again!
So
as
I
dig
in.
B
B
B
A
B
B
D
B
Them
yeah
I'll,
just
owl,
was
getting
to
that
and
thanks
for
asking
that,
so
we
have
a
couple
different
ways.
We
can
add
discussions
to
a
course.
We
can
add
discussions
to
the
whole
course
or
we
can
add
discussions
to
individual
Pages
they
what
you're
seeing
what
you
were
seeing
before.
So
this
discussion
shows
any
discussions
anywhere:
What
I've
Done
ahead
of
time,
if
I
as
I've
added
a
discussion
to
this
introduction
Stoichiometry
page.
So
let
me
get
back
to
that
big
course
here.
B
B
So
this
discussion,
I
wrote
an
introduction,
hi
everyone
I'm
new
to
chemistry,
but
really
interested
in
learning
more
and
then
I
also
replied
to
it,
and
I
can
show
a
little
bit
this
earlier.
You
can
have
discussions
that
are
pending
where
the
instructor
has
to
approve
the
post
and
I'll
show
you
where
that
is.
Let
me
go
into
the
instructor
view
in
just
a
minute
or
you
can
have
them
open
and
what
you
see
in
the
discussion
listing
is,
from
my
perspective,
as
a
student,
all
the
discussion
activity
you
can
see.
A
B
E
Just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
comment,
but
I
think
as
a
reminder
for
folks
that
were
with
us
during
our
last
session,
we're
moving
to
a
four
release
a
year
schedule
and
we're
trying
to
have
these
mid-semester
releases
be
pieces
that
are
less,
where
possible,
less
disruptive
for
the
in-progress
sections,
and
so
what
you're
looking
at
here
is
actually
really
foundational
to
more
advanced
work.
That
will
continue.
And
so,
when
we
look
at
the
discussion
board,
this
is
going
to
grow
into
capabilities
for
discussion
activities.
E
But
it's
also
going
to
be
growing
into
our
capabilities
for
social
annotation.
That
one
of
the
big
pieces
that
we're
going
to
see
emerging
from
the
chemistry
Gates
Grant
is
this
ability
for
students
to
begin
annotating
And
discussing
those
annotations
with
one
another.
So
this
is
a
step
along
that
road
and
you'll
see
that
same
approach
that
these
are
foundational
building
blocks
for
larger
feature
sets
throughout
some
of
the
pieces
that
Aaron's
going
to
be
showing.
B
D
D
D
B
B
B
So
some
of
these
are
placeholders
by
the
way,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
one
of
these
things
at
the
top
of
the
page
I'm
just
going
to
go
into
those
things
that
were
ready
to
release
essentially,
so,
of
course,
students
will
give
you
a
list
of
all
your
students
and
the
information
and
the
course
progress
that
they
have
again.
All
of
this
is
really
new
and
not
released.
Yet
it's
been
tested
out,
but
we
still
have
some.
B
You
know
use
cases
and
things
we'd
want
to
hear
more
about
from
folks.
We
would
end
up
using
these
things,
so
a
list
of
students
I've
only
been
two
students
in
this
course.
The
modules
this
just
shows
the
overview
of
the
course
again
that
outline
view,
so
it
can
get
to
anything
discussion
activity.
This
will
show
me
all
discussion
activity.
That's
going
on
what
it's
linked
to
and
in
this
case,
I
set
this
one
up
in
particular
to
be
having
to
be
approved
by
the
instructor.
B
So
I
can
see
at
a
glance
what
what
discussions
are
needing
approval.
I
can
sort
and
sort
them
by
or
show
them
by
post
any
approval,
post
waiting
reply
or
buy
discussion
I'm
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
approve
this
one
to
show
how
easy
that
is,
and
because
I
have
two
different
discussions
set
up
in
two
different
ways:
I
have
a
discussion
activity.
That's
that's
tied
to
a
page.
I
also
have
the
course
overall
discussion.
B
B
So
I
was
able
to
as
a
student
as
a
guest
student
without
an
account
go
into
that
course,
and
that's
what
you
were
seeing
me
as
a
guest
student
in
that
course,
and
that's
also
why
student
is
unknown
just
so,
you
know,
I
wasn't
logged
in
in
any
way,
I'm
not
doing
this
through
an
LMS,
even
though
it
could
be,
but
because
I
just
entered
it
as
kind
of
like
an
open
and
free
student.
It's
not.
B
It
doesn't
have
my
information
there,
but
you
can
have
some
settings
and
I'll
show
you
where
those
are
to
manage
how
students
enter
the
under
the
course.
But
the
cool
thing
about
it
is
it's
just
a
matter
of
sharing
a
link
and
which
is
a
lot
easier
than
a
course
key.
Even
so,
I'm
also
I'm
an
instructor,
so
I
can
preview.
This
course,
as
an
instructor
I
can
enter
it
as
a
student
in
terms
of
customizing.
The
curriculum
I
can
go
in,
and
I
can
rearrange.
B
B
This
will
set,
it
won't,
do
any
gating,
but
it
will
help
with
scheduling
and
it
will
help
as
we're
building
in
new
features
all
the
time
to
help
give
alerts
to
both
students
and
instructors.
This
will
kind
of
help
drive
that
so
they
can
show
students
and
instructors
what's
coming
up
next
or
help
gate
help
instructors
gauge
who's
falling
behind
in
a
way.
B
So
I
can
also
play
with
these
and
move
them
around
as
well
and
it'll
change.
Everything
under
it
so
say:
I
want
to
teach
properties
of
matter
for
some
reason
later
and
over
multiple
weeks.
I
can
manipulate
these
and
when
there's
a
lock,
I
can
also
unlock
it
and
because
what
the
lock
will
do
is
show
you
what
else
is
attached
to
that
movement?
B
You
can
see
it
didn't
change
everything
on
the
course.
It's
only
changing
this,
so
that's
a
cool
feature
that
we've
added
is
that
scheduling
and
timeline
feature
I
can
also
do
Advanced,
gating
and
scheduling,
and
the
way
that's
done
is
I
can
set
up
a
new
gate.
I
can
pick
the
resource
that
I
want
and
I
can
choose
the
condition.
So
I
can
select
a
resource.
B
Sorry
that
I
wasn't
expecting
that
pop-up
to
have
a
delay
instead
of
resource
I
can
choose
the
condition
that
it's
always
open
or
upon
starting
or
finishing,
and
allowing
access
to
all
grade
Pages
or
allow
review
previously
completed
attempts.
You
have
some
control
over
what
students
can
see
or
not
going
forward
in
the
course,
and
you
can
set
up
as
many
of
these
as
you
want.
B
B
B
B
I
can
here's
where
registration
is
where
you
set
registration,
is
either
just
open
or
requires
enrollment,
and
you
can
also
control
emails
generated
from
the
system,
like
the
the
verification
if
students
have
to
verify
their
email
or
not
upon
using
the
link
and
here's
where
I
set
those
start
and
end
dates,
you
don't
have
to
do
that.
I
did
that
just
so,
I
could
show
that
scheduling
functionality
some
payment
settings.
B
B
So
this
is
where
I
enabled
the
overall
course
discussion
board,
and
this
is
where
I
you
know:
I
unchecked
allow
post
to
be
visible
without
approval,
that's
what
set
off
that
approval,
workflow
and
then
the
grading
there's
a
place
here.
Where
you
can
score,
you
can
go
and
see
if,
if
you
have
manly
manually
graded
activities,
which
could
be
short
answer
activities
that
are
embedded
in
the
course
or
we
also
have
the
ability
to
have
file
uploads
as
well
to
be
able
to
be
graded.
B
B
B
I
have
I
do
have
something
asking
if
I
can
create
group
discussions.
We
can't
do
that
yet
in
terms
of
like
meaning
like
we
can't
get
carve
off
groups
and
just
have
discussions
amongst
those
groups.
But
I
can
imagine
if
I
play
around
with
their
settings
enough
I'd
be
able
to
figure
out
a
way
to
do
that
and
communicate
that.
But
I
would
like
to
know
more
about
what
you
all
would
be
wanting
to
do
and
what
kind
of
controls
you
would
want
to
have
with
discussions
and
discussion
posts.
B
I'm
going
to
show
one
more
thing,
and
that
is
the
publishing
process
and
what
happens
when
someone
actually
makes
a
change
in
the
course
so
I
was
in
here
earlier,
adding
basically
adding
those
the
one.
The
one
discussion,
the
the
page
level
discussion,
but
I'm
just
going
to
go
into
this
course
and
make
a
quick
little
change
and
show
how
that
shows
up
to
the
instructor.
So
I'm,
an
author
now
I'm
in
authoring
view
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
curriculum
and
say
I
want
to
fix
a
typo.
B
B
B
So
I
pushed
that
out.
Oh
and
I
could
automatically
push
this
out
to
all
products
and
sections
so
meaning
that
I
could
go
ahead
and
just
make
and
just
make
sure
that
any
sections
that
were
created
from
this
automatically
get
the
update.
But
in
this
case
I
didn't
check
that.
So
as
the
instructor,
and
let
me
just
check,
chat
again
really
quickly.
B
Thanks,
Norm
I
can
see
now
and
if
I
refresh
my
page
actually
I
can
see
that
I
have
one
update
available
and
I
can
go
into
that
and
see
what
this
update
was.
And
this
is
another
reason
why
it's
good
to
have
good
comments,
because
this
is
what
will
be
viewable
to
the
instructors
and
help
them
understand
what
was
changed
and
if
they
want
to
apply
that
update
right
away
or
if
it's
something
so
massive
or
something
that
would
impact
the
students
I'm
going
to
just
wait
and
not
update
it.
E
This
is
a
big
change
from
the
way
we
handle
things
in
Legacy,
any
of
you
that
dealt
with
the
update
approach
and
Legacy.
If,
if
we
push
an
update,
everybody
got
it
and
they
got
it
without
warning,
unless
we
emailed
them
making
that
distinction
between
allowing
instructors
to
sort
of
preview
what's
coming
and
accept
it,
but
also
recognizing
that
you
know
there
are
times
when
something's
just
so
drastically
wrong
that
we
just
need
to
get
the
fix
out
there
and
and
be
able
to
distinguish
between
these
two
is
going
to
be
I.
A
D
B
D
B
Have
ways
to
manage
that,
so
this
is
the
course.
This
is
the
case
where
the
author
knows
the
course
sections
that
are
out
there
right
like
if
it's
something
where
I'm
an
instructor
out
there
and
I
created
a
customized
version
of
the
course
that's
a
completely
different
process
like
I
would
probably
create
a
product
or
the
author,
the
course
author,
the
course
to
owner,
would
create
a
product
for
that
person
to
be
able
to
customize
their
own
content,
and
then
there
they'd
have
their
own
authoring
space
for
their
course.
E
If
you,
if
you
think
about
this
as
a
downstream
lineage
question,
so
you
Sandy
as
the
owner
of
chemistry,
if
you
find
an
error,
you
can
make
a
change
and
push
out
that
change
to
everybody
who
is
further
Downstream.
If
an
instructor
has
gone
in
and
made
their
own
customization,
they
can
receive
your
changes.
They
can
make
their
own
changes,
but
they
can't
push
their
changes
out
to
others
that
aren't
using
your
branch.
So
if
we
get
a
department-wide
adoption
of
your
course,
they
customize
they
can
get
changes
from
you.
B
So
you
can
see
that
that
change.
You
know
when
I
accepted
it
as
instructor
I
miss
now
looking
at
it
from
the
student
view,
and
that
change
is
there
so
yeah.
This
is
very
exciting
stuff
for
us
in
terms
of
the
whole
publication
process
being
streamlined
and
have
these
alerts
to
know,
what's
changing
to
have
the
the
history
as
well
and
visible.
B
So
course
progress,
so
you
probably
are
interested
in
that
course.
Progress
is
something
new
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
show
the
students
and
have
the
instructors
know
more
about
as
well
right
now,
it's
at
two
percent
I've
probably
worked
through
one
module
to
make
it
that
make
it
so,
and
course,
progress
is
calculated
on
both
page
touches,
but
as
well.
B
If
there's
activities
on
any
given
page,
it
takes
to
account
the
number
of
activities
in
that
page
and
calculates
based
on
the
touch
of
the
page
and
the
the
amount
of
activity
activities
that
have
been
touched
as
well
over
the
course
of
a
whole
course
as
big
as
this
one.
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
for
students
to
get
to
full
100
completion,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we've
done
is
also
as
soon
as
someone
touches
a
page.
B
A
D
Just
a
suggestion
on
that
I
like
the
full
course
project
or
progress,
but
it
might
also
be
helpful
to
like,
when
they're
on
an
individual
unit
or
module
to
see
that
progress,
because
then
you
know
that's
you
know
that
looks
overwhelming,
especially
when
you
look
at
the
you
know
they
can
see.
You
know:
okay,
I
finished
this
unit,
I,
don't
know
just
the
suggestion.
B
Yeah
yeah,
and
actually
we
are
kicking
around
some
more
ideas
like
that
to
help
help
with
motivation-
and
you
know
the
students
see
that
they're
actually
completing
chunks
of
the
course,
so
that
is
still
under
discussion.
In
fact,
a
lot
of
the
analytics,
as
you
can
tell
we
don't
even
have
dashboards.
Yet
those
are
all
right
now,
not
only
in
discussion
but
also
getting
mapped
out,
and
you
know
the
UI
kind
of
getting
worked
on
for
those.
E
E
You
know
the
the
learning
dashboard
you
know
for
the
learning
estimates,
but
we
also
want
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
these
new
soft
scheduling
and
deadline
capabilities
to
try
to
give
students
and
instructors
a
crisper
sense
of
not
just
you
finished
two
percent
of
the
course,
but
eventually
like
how
close
are
you
to
being
where
you
should
be
this
week
right?
That's
that's
for
the
soft
scheduling,
lands
and
so
I
think
that
we're
really
going
to
start
to
see
this
section
expand
out
from
from
from
progress
perspective.
A
B
F
B
F
F
B
A
B
B
A
B
B
B
Oh,
it's
not!
It's
not
behaving
the
way
I
needed
to
at
the
moment.
So,
but
that's
the
idea
essentially,
is
that
then
I
could
say:
module
two
needs
to
be
finished
before
module
one
can
be
open
and
then
I
believe.
It
also
gives
some
sort
of
notification
to
the
student
of
that
gating
and
scheduling
so
that
they
are
aware
too,
but
Lauren
not
able
to
demonstrate
it
perfectly
right
now.
B
I
am
on
a
development
server
at
the
moment,
so
might
have
some
wonkiness
there,
but
just
know
that
that
is
essentially
the
way
we've
set
it
up
to
be
able
to
gain
schedule.
Anything
and
kind
of
arrange
the
course
in
a
way
where
you
can
set
up
those
Gates,
exactly
how
you
described
and
with
this
idea
of
a
product
which
I
haven't
really
gone
into
too
much
you'd
be
able
to
have
that
as
a
blueprint
that
you
can
just
kind
of
Stamp
Out
sections
from
so.
A
D
B
Not
at
the
moment,
because
it's
based
on
the
actual
schedule
that
the
instructor
sets
so
it's
it's
based
on
the
course
section
now,
I
wonder
what
you're
saying
I
might
be
able
to
do
something
similar
with
a
product.
I
haven't
tried
that
yet,
where
I
said
I
don't
know
if
this
is
available
just
by
poor
suction
or
if
it's
also
available
in
the
product,
but
that's
an
interesting
idea,
and
that
would
be
where
we
could
set
defaults.
E
At
the
section
level,
we've
talked
about
wanting
to
provide
that
capability
both
for
scheduling
but
also
to
give
a
sense
from
authors
of.
We
expect
this
to
take
this
much
time,
because
I
think
to
do
this
at
a
product
level,
where
you
have
a
default
schedule,
given
the
variation
between
six
week
to
16
week,
semesters
across
our
Partners
you'd
almost
need
to
set
it
at
a
percentage
basis,
yeah,
but
yeah.
It's
something
that
we
talk
about.
E
B
D
B
B
Here's
where
it
says,
like
display,
curriculum
item
numbers,
I,
guess
I
can
turn
that
off
I'm
going
to
turn
it
on,
because
I
haven't
really
paid
attention
to
what
it
looks
like
module.
One
module:
two:
module:
three:
okay!
Let
me
go
back
to
that
and
see
what
happens
so
it
doesn't
look
like
we
have
the
ability
to
rearrange
them,
but
I
can
remove
them
all
together
at
the
moment,.
B
And,
and
actually,
if
you
think
about
it,
if
you
rearrange
the
content
and
you
have
the
module
numbers
it'll
just
you
know
it
won't.
The
numbers
aren't
hard
coded
in
and
that's
I
think
why
we
have
that
automatic
numbering
so
that
when
you
arrange
content,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
things
being
named
module
three,
and
now
it's
in
a
different
place
in
the
course
it'll
just
put
the
numbers
but
yeah.
If
you
don't
want
that,
you
can
just
remove
them.
D
Yeah
but
I
just
know
that
I
think
feedback
that
I've
gotten
from
instructors
and
I.
Don't
maybe
this
isn't
across
the
board,
but
most
say
they
would
prefer
a
numbering
like
unit
one
and
then
the
first
module
is
module,
1.1
and
1.2,
as
opposed
to
the
you
see
how
many
modules
there
are
in
in
the
chemistry
and
it's
I,
don't
know
it's
a
I,
don't
know
like
30
40
modules
anyway,
I
thought
I'd
mention
that.
B
D
B
So
this
would
go.
This
would
be
like
1.9,
correct,
2.1,
right,
interesting,
I,
wonder
I'd
probably
be
really
like
easy
to
just
have
a
selection
of
the
numbering
system.
That's
used,
I
can
imagine
and
it'd
be
part
of
that
managed
course
or
edit
section
details
where
you
could
probably
say:
either
display
curriculum
item
numbers
or
display
them
this
way.
D
Yeah
and
you
know
if,
if
an
instructor
decides
to
move
content
from
from
year
to
year,
if
all
of
the
module
numbers
get
changed,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
instructors
will
put
the
module
numbers
in
their
syllabus
and
or
on
canvas
or
their
LMS,
and
then
they
have
to
rearrange
all
of
those
where
I
think
it'd
be
less.
So
if,
if
it
was,
you
know
more
of
a
you
know,
1.1
1.2,
that
type
of
numbering.
C
A
B
C
How
it
will
know
when
you
quote
unquote
finished
a
particular
module?
Does
it
know
you
finished
the
module
by
Page
touches
or
does
it
know,
you've
finished
a
module
by
the
assignments
being
finished
in
that
module,
in
which
case
they
can
game
the
system
and
go
because
we're
not
doing
date,
gating
we're
only
doing
conditional
gating
based
upon
completion
of
all
previous
pages.
B
E
We
want
to
take
some
care
in
balancing
the
appropriate
number
of
options
with
not
having
every
possible
option
that
anyone
might
want.
I,
don't
know
about
the
rest
of
you
but
I've.
My
experience
with
lots
and
lots
of
learning
platforms
is
that
when
we
try
to
create
every
possible
option,
we
end
up
with
these
really
horrific
user
interfaces
that
folks
don't
use
anyway,
so
figuring
out.
E
What
are
the
right
subset
of
options
that
you
need
to
guide
students
towards
behaviors,
most
likely
to
create
robust
learning
conditions,
but
making
sure
that
we're
focused
on
that
is
is
is
always
a
challenge,
but
I
know
that
that's
part
of
the
vision
for
gating
is
to
give
you
some
of
those
options.
I
know
there
are
some
options
in
there
already
and
there
are
more
to
come.
B
Yeah
that
getting
and
scheduling,
then,
would
probably
show
them
here
what
the
due
dates
are
and
if
it's
open
or
not
so
they
wouldn't
just
be.
If
you
put
that
scheduling
in
place,
you
wouldn't
just
be
able
to
go
through
and
just
pick
off
these
these
without
having
to
read.
If
you
have
that
gaming
set
up,
so
it
can
be
done
right
now.
It
just
can't
be
done
quickly
and
automatically.
E
B
Yeah
thanks
for
mentioning
that
in
the
chat-
and
you
have
a
really
good,
interesting
question-
we
do
have
things
in.
We
do
have
some
tools
as
part
of
the
open,
Simon
toolkit
that
can
analyze
chat
and
discussion
data
and,
if
you're
interested
in
that
just
contact
me
directly.
I'll
put
you
in
touch
with
those
folks
or
show
you
what
those
are.
A
A
B
Thanks
everybody
for
joining
us
today
and
for
you
know,
seeing
the
the
latest
and
greatest
it's
going
to
be
coming
out,
stay
tuned
for
the
communications
around
this
release,
I'm
not
just
going
to
push
it
out
like
tomorrow.
It's
ready!
But
again
we
want
to
have
some
regular,
Communications
and
channels
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
things
out
to
you
pretty
quickly
and
and
in
a
timely
way.
B
If
you're
interested
in
doing
you
know
preliminary
testing
or
if
you
have
additional
requirements
that
you
think
of
after
the
meeting,
please
reach
out
to
me
I'm
happy
to
take
those
I'm
happy
to
have
volunteers
for
testing
as
well.
So
again
thanks
everybody
and
thanks
Lauren
and
yeah,
have
a
nice
happy
holiday
weekend
and
we'll
see
you
next
time.
