Nutmeg is the latest Open edX named release. Our friend Sarina Canelake, Engineering Manager at the Center For Reimagining Learning (tCRIL), published a short series of blog posts that look at some of the newest additions to the Open edX software.
The Nutmeg Feature Round-up offers a tour of several new learner and instructor-facing features, such as:
The Product Tours blog introduces an amazing new feature focused on learner engagement – the Product Tour. This optional tool takes new learners for a comprehensive, in-context guided tour of the course layout that ends at the Course Goal Setting tool. edX®, who have implemented product tours earlier this year, have already noticed increased engagement and completion in learners who use the goals feature!
The Nutmeg: Operator & Developer Enhancements blog is a technical piece that summarizes the changes (additions and deprecations) that impact the people who write code for Open edX or deploy Open edX instances.
The recording of the latest (July) Open edX Community Meetup is now available. During this event, edtech company Readspeaker discussed how course authors can leverage text-to-speech solutions for a more inclusive learning environment. They demonstrated how their tools worked with the example of one of Esme Learning's Open edX sites (which are hosted and developed by OpenCraft 😉 ), and discussed various topics around the theme of accessible and universal design in education.
