Library Updates in the Ulmo Release

Ulmo adds authoring support for Sections and Subsections (also known as “structural blocks”) in Libraries. You can now author all levels of content for reuse in courses. Included are improvements to syncing changes made in a Content Library to content that has been reused in courses.

Also new is a method of migrating Legacy Library content to the new Content Libraries experience. Migrated content can be edited, and changes can be published to courses that used the Legacy Library content.

Migrate Legacy Libraries

In Verawood, Legacy Libraries will no longer be supported. Migrate legacy libraries to maintain functionality. To learn more view the Migration documentation.

Structural Blocks in Libraries

Content Libraries now support Sections and Subsections authoring. With these improvements, all levels of content can now be authored in Content Libraries and reused in courses.

Structural Block Authoring

Author Sections, Subsections, Units, and content blocks within Libraries.

Content Library to Course Publishing

Newly created content or edits can be published via the new publish flow. Publishes to structural blocks will publish all contained content. For example, this means publishing a subsection will also publish all the units and content blocks contained within that subsection.

Improvements to Syncing Library Changes to Courses

Course authors can quickly and easily see changes made to Library Section and Subsection content from within the course authoring interface. When changes to library content are published to courses, course authors can choose to accept or ignore these changes. In Ulmo, educators can compare the current course content with the published changes side-by-side in a new pop-up. View changes by clicking on the sync icon from the Course Outline or Unit pages, or from the Library Updates page (accessible via the Content drop down menu).

The “Preview changes” pop-up now shows more detail on what happens to content when changes are available

See Sync Library Subsections or Sections for more detail.

Legacy Library Migration

With the new migration feature, Legacy Library content can now be moved into a Content Library. This enables editing, remixing, and reusing content without breaking courses that used the Legacy Library. Courses that use Legacy Library content can receive updates made to the migrated content.

Note

To receive updates in courses that previously used Legacy Library content prior to migration, educators must update the references in the courses. To learn more, see the Legacy Library Migration documentation.
