Update content with synced Learning Object Repository attributes and settings – 3900.125
Impact: Administrators
Updated Help Topic: Learning Object Repository
Idea Exchange ID: LEARNU-I-6434
We introduced an update that syncs more attributes and settings in Learning Object Repository objects. The following attributes and settings are now synced:
- Visibility settings
- Class conversations
- Goals
Syncing attributes will allow us to lock these attributes and settings in the October update. Locking visibility settings is especially valuable for managing instructor-only materials. By enforcing visibility at the repository level, administrators can ensure that sensitive or instructional content remains hidden from students, regardless of where the object is used.
Syncing in the Learning Object Repository is not instant and takes time. We're waiting until the October update to add locking, so that all existing Documents in the Learning Object Repository will have had time to be updated. This prevents administrators from being unable to adjust the settings of an object before the update.
This change to syncing supports our broader strategy of careful expansion before opening up the Learning Object Repository for selective configurability. It ensures consistency, security, and clarity across learning environments. In the future, we'll increase the usability of the Learning Object Repository by giving institutions the option to choose which settings are locked or unlocked.
