Axim Collaborative, the organization behind the Open edX platform, announced the launch of its latest release called Redwood.
This new version includes a new data and analytics system called Aspects Reports, which is not currently installed by default. As data visualization tool, it uses Superset.
It provides access to near real-time course and instance data, tracking progress and success metrics. The course-level dashboard displays enrollment, engagement, and performance information for all learners in a course. There is also an at-risk learner dashboard for students who might not complete the course.
The new Content Tagging feature on Redwood allows course authors to add tags, such as skills or competencies, to their course content.
Authors can tag individual course components like videos and problems or full units, sections, and subsections.
It also supports any third-party taxonomy.

Redwood now includes a Course Search to find content, making it easier for authors to find content they wish to edit or reuse. Results appear at the block, unit, subsection, and section level and can be filtered by tags and content type.
When used together, content tagging, course search, and content copy/paste allow course teams to easily find, manage, and reuse content.
The copy/paste feature enables authors to copy any part of the course and paste it into any other course. Authors can copy individual course components like videos and problems or full units, subsections, and sections.
