EdX has just released the newest version of the edX Platform on edx.org and edX Edge.
This release includes the following changes.
-
A new preview mode in the LMS allows course team members to see the courseware as a specific learner would see it.
-
Information previously available on the Analytics page of the Instructor Dashboard has been replaced by a link to edX Insights. You use edX Insights to access all of the data analytics for your course. For more information, see Using edX Insights.
-
The icon in the courseware contents next to a graded subsection has changed from a clock to a paper and pencil symbol.
-
The new Open edX XBlock Tutorial guides developers through the process of creating an XBlock, and explains the concepts and anatomy of XBlocks.
For a list of the changes in this and previous releases, see the edX Release Notes.
You can access the weekly release notes as well as all other edX documentation at docs.edx.org.
