The following information reflects what is new in the edX Platform this week.
A course team member can now use the Enrollment API to find out which of his
or her courses a particular learner is enrolled in. For more information, see
Enrollment API Version 1.0. (OSPR-754)
Various accessibility-related enhancements were made, including re-engineering
the left navigation menu in the courseware. Navigating through sections,
subsections and units using the course navigation menu is now significantly
improved for keyboard and screen reader users. (AC-76)
- You can now configure checkbox, multiple choice, numerical input, and write-
your-own-grader problems so that learners can receive partial credit for a
problem if they submit an answer that is partly correct. For more
information, see Awarding Partial Credit for a Problem. (TNL-3197)
- For numerical input and text input problems, you can use the Advanced Editor
to add text after the response field, including words and symbols. For more
