animationxblock's Introduction

AnimationXBlock

DEPRECATION WARNING

This AnimationXBlock is now deprecated and will not recieve further updates. For details see #88.

Currently there is no replacement for this XBlock.

This XBlock shows students an animation they can go through. There is a set of images with corresponding text, and a slider for going through these images:

This is an intermediate point between video and text. Like text, students can self-regulate pace of learning. Like a video, it has somewhat reduced cognitive load, since the instructor can "point" to things.

Next steps:

This looks good in workbench. There's a css issue where it is usable, but less pretty in edX.
The slider uses a third-party library that doesn't seem to handle resizing well.
Discoverability could be improved. The tool should either have instructions the first time it pops up, fade-in/fade-out text explaining slider, or at the very least, a tooltip.
The slider knob should turn green when done. We add an animation_done class when this happens; the CSS just needs to use it.
There should be an option for no text (if text is e.g. in the image)
Conversely, there should be an option to embed XBlocks rather than just text+image. Audio XBlock, in particular, might be nice here.
Nicer styling

animationxblock's Issues

XBlock is broken

Looks like this XBlock is not being used. I've opened this PR as part of a translation project FC-0012

I'm testing on Devstack-palm

The XBlock display name in studio is showing Completion instead of Animation, which give the scenes that the XBlock is not being used. See #86 (comment)
An error is raised when adding the XBlock:

[DEPR]: AnimationXBlock

Proposal Date

Target Ticket Acceptance Date

2023-05-05

Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

Quince - 2023-10

Rationale

To the best of my knowledge, this XBlock

Is not working - #87
Is unused
Is in a repo with no maintainer

Removal

https://github.com/openedx/AnimationXBlock (the XBlock itself, the whole repo)

Replacement

Assuming the assessment that this XBlock is currently unused is accurate, this should not require a replacement.
