ORA for Self-paced courses

Open e0d opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

ORA still designed for instructor lead courses, what could it look like to develop them more for self paced courses?

The two main issues we run into in self-paced courses with ORAs are:

  • The "last 5 people" issue, where the last few learners in the course always have to get hand-graded.
  • The lack of notifications means that for many learners it's a "fire and forget" activity. They're never prompted to go back to it.

+1 on notifications.

And just anecdotally most faculty I work with are willing, even in large courses, to give feedback either to the last stragglers and/or a paid track. A way to see what learners have been left ungraded for a while would be a step in that direction. I don't have a good answer on what "a while" is, obviously different in different situations.
