I just noticed in the administrator documentation that the configuration variables no longer allow for administrators to allow for instructors to Opt-in or Opt-out to use the New Content Experience (Lessons). When and what was the reasoning behind this deprecation?

Thanks much.

  • Hi Travis.K.660,

    The config variable d2l.Tools.Content.LessonsCreateExperienceOptIn is now controlled by a feature flag. If the flag is false, setting this config to ON will enable the new edit pages with no option to opt-out, Opt-IN will give users a choice and OFF will disable the new edit pages.

    You can still allow Instructors to OPT IN and OUT of Classic or Lessons Content Experiences using the following config variable:

    d2l.Tools.Content.ChooseContentExperience (Role)

    This config variable determines which roles are able to enable or disable the Lessons user experience for content management in an org unit. For the configuration to take effect, d2l.Tools.Content.IsLessonsEnabled has to be 'on'.

    Hopefully that clarifies things a bit, but let us know if you have additional questions.
