Purpose

XBlock_ is the Open edX component architecture for building custom learning interactives.

.. _XBlock: https://openedx.org/r/xblock

The DoneXBlock lets a student confirm that they've finished an activity. The student can click through two states of the XBlock, shown below:

| |mark| | |undo|

.. |mark| image:: completionxblock_mark.png .. |undo| image:: completionxblock_undo.png

This can be useful for activities that are self directed or where completion is ambiguous.

Getting Started

You can see the DoneXBlock in action in the XBlock Workbench. Running the Workbench requires having docker running.

.. code:: bash

  git clone git@github.com:openedx/DoneXBlock
  virtualenv venv/DoneXBlock/
  source venv/DoneXBlock/activate
  make upgrade
  make install
  make dev.run

You can interact with the DoneXBlock in the Workbench by navigating to http://localhost:8000

For details regarding how to deploy this or any other XBlock in the lms instance, see the installing-the-xblock_ documentation.

History

FutureLearn uses this kind of thing to great effect. Students can read text, watch videos, etc., and indicate when their done. This is convenient both for progress indication to the student (know what they've done, and for honor code grading (indicating to us that they believe they've finished an activity).

I copied some of the UX patterns from FutureLearn so that users of both platforms would have consistency of user experience between MOOCs. I didn't copy them exactly since I wanted to be unambiguously in the clear with IP issues around look-and-feel, and this was on a short anough timeline that I did not have a chance to reach out to FutureLearn for permission. As a footnote, this kind of collaboration between MOOC providers is probably worth pursuing -- it'd be to the benefit of learners on all platforms, and ultimately, the industry as a whole if we had consistency of experience between platforms where convenient.
