Comprehensive review of Hawthorn

[Nate Aune]

I recently published a blog post about Why We're Excited about Open edX Hawthorn, which you can read here: https://appsembler.com/blog/open-edx-hawthorn/

I've been working with Open edX since even before the first official Aspen release, and I have to say that this release is the most impressive one yet!

In this post, I discuss some of the exciting new features of Hawthorn such as:

• Learner progress tracking and Completion API
• Optimized video quality with adaptive video streaming
• Responsive mobile design and streamlined mobile apps
• Easier formatting and image insertion (for course authors)
• Improved files and uploads page
• Override learner scores for individual problems
• Improved Open Response Assessment (ORA)
• Weekly highlight email (and "nudge" emails)
• Student data privacy and GDPR features
• Improved learner profiles
• Improved discussion forum features

These features aren't discussed but mentioned:

• Course reviews
• Purchase all courses in a program
• Group purchases
• Proctored exames
• Flexible content gating
• Automatic certificate delivery
• Transferable student records
• Translated learner certificates
• Program about pages
• Expanded SSO support
• Data via email, SFTP, API
• Enterprise learners

Check out the post and leave a comment in the comments section with your feedback! What features are *you* most excited about? What features do you wish would be in a future release? https://appsembler.com/blog/open-edx-hawthorn/

thanks,

Nate
