0.18.0

High level overview

Release 0.18.0 introduces improvements and new features in the Coach experience to make it easier to find materials when creating a lesson or quiz.

Added

New Feature: Coaches can now use metadata filtering when creating lessons and quizzes

Updates to lessons and quizzes help coaches find what they need faster. Coaches can use filters like activity type (video, audio, reading materials), language, level, category (school subjects, vocational materials), and more. By combining a variety of filters, coaches can quickly locate specific and relevant materials they need.

Additional new workflows

  • The navigation in coach is updated and simplified. Pages are now organized around "Lessons" and "Quizzes", rather than "Reports" and "Plan", making it easier to quickly find the relevant lesson and quiz pages. Some pages also have additional information and interactions added.
  • Coaches have updated quiz creation options. They can choose to have Kolibri create a quiz for them from selected exercises, or they can choose specific questions from their available resources.
  • Bloom player is now supported in Kolibri.
  • Coaches can choose when to make quiz reports available to learners.

Noteworthy technical updates include rearchitecting our Coach plugin pages to support the navigation updates, extending the routing structure in coach to use nested routes and a side-panel style UX in lessons, and upgrading KDS to provide a variety of bug fixes and introduce the new KCard component.

Other technical additions include adding file storage option, allowing plugins to be enabled/disabled/applied via env vars, allowing studio URLs to be created as network locations, and the implementation of a task polling composable.

Changed

Kolibri JS Public API - BREAKING CHANGES

  • BREAKING CHANGE - Large parts of the JS Public API have now been removed. For a complete specification of the current public API see the kolibri npm package.
  • BREAKING CHANGE - Only the TaskResource is now available as a public resource within the JS API. All other API endpoints, aside from those namespaced as 'public' are considered internal and using them is not supported.
  • All previously public code has either been deleted, or is in the unpublished kolibri-common package in the repository. If you need to continue using any of this code, it is recommended to vendor and modify.
