![ConceptXBlock screenshot](learning_objectives.png)
In the bottom left, you can search for learning objectives, and drag
them into one of the top three bins. The bins are:
* Taught: For concepts which the item introduces. For example, a video
explaining the quadaratic equation would be tagged as teach the
quadratic equation. Perhaps should be renamed to 'introduced'?
* Exercised: For concepts which the problem is explicitly designed to
practice. For example, "Solve 5x^2+6x=7" would exercise the
quadratic equation.
* Required: For concepts implicitly required. For example, a physics
problem on the path of a rocket might have the quadratic equation
as a prerequisite, but not be explictly designed to exercise it.
The edit button is a link back to the concept tag server, where we can
edit concept descriptions.
The system has a few serious issues:
1. Performance. This is trivial to fix, but the system currently makes
an AJAX request per objective on the page. Bulk requests would
solve this.
2. 500 errors when e.g. a concept is not on the concept server.
3. No test cases.
4. Shown as a student (rather than instructor) view. This is a Studio
limitation.
5. Lack of configurability. It works on my taxonomy
(taught/exercised/required), and not yours.
It does have a few nice properties:
1. Continues to develop edX-as-a-platform, rather than
edX-as-a-product.
2. Natural path (via concept wiki) to coming up with a concept
taxonomy. Next steps will be to split and join objectives.
