|
|

|
|
|

These edX Course Staff Release Notes are always available and are updated with
|
|
each release of the edX Platform on `edx.org`_ and `edX Edge`_.

edX Studio

|
***************************************
|
|
|
|
* In some versions of Internet Explorer, users could not edit plain HTML in HTML components. This problem has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Problem components have a new **Correct or Past Due** setting. With this setting, course staff can configure a problem so that students can only see the answer if they have answered the problem correctly or the problem's due date has passed.
|

|

***************************************
|
|
edX Website
|
|
***************************************
|
|
|
|
* On the edX.org sign-up page, the **Public Username** field is now above the **Password** field.

Coming Soon
|
|
**************************
|
|
|
|
We're pleased to announce two upcoming features that will release in the next few weeks:
|
|
|
|
* In Studio, new capabilities will make it easier for course authors to edit
|
|
and publish content. We've simplified the publishing workflow and added clear
|
|
indications to the UI so you'll know at a glance whether your content is
|
|
published and released--and whether students can see it.
|
|
|
|
* In addition to the existing Discussion post type, course discussions will
|
|
soon include a new Question post type. Students and course teams will also be
|
|
able to filter posts by unanswered questions.
