The following information reflects what is new in the edX Platform as of

edX Release Announcements Mailing List

||

|
||

||
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 Learning Management System
|

*******************************

* An issue in which the `char` function caused some MATLAB problems to become
|
||
unresponsive has been fixed. (TNL-388)
|
||
|
||
* Answers to a text input problem with a long input string did not render
|
||
properly. This issue is fixed. (TNL-441)

|
||
Coming Soon
|
||
**************************
|
||
|
||
We're pleased to announce the following upcoming changes:
|
||
|
||
* Course teams will soon be able to access data about their courses on a
|
||
dedicated dashboard for course-specific data. By providing insights into who
|
||
your students are, and what they do while interacting with your course, the
|
||
data available on this dashboard can validate choices you’ve made, reveal
|
||
unexpected patterns, and inform plans for changes to the course.
|
||
|
||
* EdX will soon release a fully supported cohorts feature that allows course
|
||
teams and TAs to assign students to different cohorts in class discussions.
|
||
Students in different cohorts will be able to see the discussions for their
|
||
individual cohorts, but cannot see discussions for other cohorts. Course
|
||
teams can also open some course discussions to all students.
|
||
|
||
