New Features
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
* **Improved import experience** (STUD-595)
|
|
|
|
When you import a course, the Import screen now provides real-time status updates. The Import screen tells you when the import is in the
|
|
following stages:
|
|
* Uploading
|
|
* Unpacking
|
|
* Verifying
|
|
* Updated Course
|
|
* Success (Complete)
|
|
|
|
* **Improved drag and drop experience in course outlines** (STUD-575)
|
|
|
|
The ability to drag and drop sections, subsections, and units in the course outline is enhanced in the following ways:
|
|
|
|
* The visual representation of where you are moving the course element to is improved, with a pointer and blue line indicating the
|
|
new position.
|
|
|
|
* You can more easily drag units from one subsection to another.
|
|
|
|
* When you cancel a drop, the course element returns to its original position.
|
|
|
|
* You can no longer drag a course element below the New Unit button, which was causing confusion.
|
|
|
|
* **Text customization capability**
|
|
|
|
You can now customize some of the UI text that your students see. You do this through the text_customization key in the Advanced
|
|
Settings for the course. (However, edX recommends that you contact your Program Manager before you modify the text_customization key.)
|
|
|
|
* **JavaScript loading performance**
|
|
|
|
JavaScript loading is changed in ways that should improve the performance on some pages.
|
|
Code contributors should note that JavaScript is now loaded through require.js.
