edX Documentation

**************************
|
|
|
|
You can access the public `edX roadmap`_ for
|
|
details about the currently planned product direction.
|
|
|
|
The following documentation is available:
|
|
|
|
* `Building and Running an edX Course`_
|
|
|
|
You can also download the guide as a PDF from the edX Studio user interface.
|
|
|
|
Recent changes include:
|
|
|
|
* `Set the Advertised Start Date`_
|
|
* `Full Screen Image`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `edX Data Documentation`_
|
|
|

|
* The improved layout of components in a unit page now includes visual separation of the header, making clear that the display name for each component is not rendered to students.
|
|
|
|
* The new Full Screen Image tool allows students to enlarge an image, so they can see all the detail in context. You can create a full screen image with a new HTML component template. For more information, see the `Full Screen Image`_ documentation.
|
|
|
|
* If you do not change the default course start date (01/01/2030), and the advertised_start policy value is null, then the student dashboard does not now list a start date for the course. Students just see that the course has not yet started. For more information, see the `Set the Advertised Start Date`_ documentation.

Accessibility Improvements
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
* Unnecessary section tags were removed from the student's view of the courseware, so they are no longer announced by screen readers.
|
|
|
|
* Extraneous title blocks were removed from breadcrumbs, so they are no longer read by screen readers.
|
|
|
|
* In the student Progress tab, ordered list tags (<ol>) were replaced with <div> tags, to improve how screen readers interpret the screen.
|
|
|
|
* IDs were added to parts of the course navigation where they were missing, making it easier to skip parts of the course when using a screen reader.
|
|
|
|
* Updates to unit pages now make navigation more accessible to screen readers.
|
|
|
|
* Modal dialog boxes and script templates are now hidden from screen readers.
|
|
|
|
* Mathjax messages that are specific to Internet Explorer are no longer shown when students are using a different browser.
|
|
|
|
* Alt text was added to the course footer logo.
|
|
|
|
* The character set meta tag was added to the main course template.
|
|
|
|
* The DOCTYPE declaration was added to the top of the main course template.
