Hello, We were happy to notice that edX is working on ability to open up the courseware to anonymous users in https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/16315. Being able to browse course content without having to create an account first is a commonly requested feature that several of our clients have expressed an interested in.
It looks like currently it is only possible to view the courseware anonymously if you have a direct link to the relevant section. We would like to expand on this for users to be able to: - Browse the courseware without having to know direct links, probably by using a button or link on the course about page. - Navigate through course content anonymously (currently prev/next buttons seem to work, but every time you click one of the buttons, an annoying popup asks to you sign in). - Interact with problems/xblocks. It probably wouldn't be possible to make all problem types work anonymously, but it should be possible for simple problems such as quizzes. - Store anonymous user answers (in session storage?) and move their responses to the database if they decide to "upgrade" their account by registering. Does edX plan to continue working on this feature -- is there a roadmap and/or any documents proposing the implementation? If not, would you be willing to accept something like this as an open source contribution? -- Matjaz Gregoric @OpenCraft -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General Open edX discussion" group.
